Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 tablespoon red food coloring
Dry Ingredients
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
- Heat Treat the Flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the all-purpose flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating. Use a thermometer to confirm the flour reaches 165°F (74°C) to make it safe for no-bake consumption. Let the flour cool completely before using.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with the granulated and brown sugars until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a light and fluffy base.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Mix well until all wet ingredients are fully incorporated, giving the dough its characteristic red velvet color.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the heat-treated flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt into the bowl. Stir until the dry ingredients are fully blended and no flour pockets remain.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough to evenly distribute them without over-mixing the dough.
- Serve and Enjoy: Portion the edible cookie dough into small bowls, or use it as a topping for ice cream or other desserts. It can be enjoyed immediately with a spoon or stored in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Heat treatment of flour is essential to make this cookie dough safe to eat raw.
- This recipe yields a soft, moist dough that can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- For an extra festive touch, try adding white chocolate chips instead of mini chocolate chips.
