Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour (heat treated)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 tablespoon red food coloring
Instructions
- Heat Treat the Flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Spread the 2/3 cup of all-purpose flour evenly on a baking sheet. 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 raw consumption. Allow the flour to cool completely before using. Store any extra heat-treated flour in an airtight container.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the 1/4 cup softened unsalted butter, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup brown sugar until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add 1 tablespoon milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 tablespoon red food coloring to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the color is uniform.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the heat-treated flour, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt into the wet mixture. Stir until the flour mixture is completely absorbed, and no dry flour is visible.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Serve: Serve the edible red velvet cookie dough in small bowls or use it as a topping for ice cream or other desserts. Enjoy it straight from the bowl with a spoon.
Notes
- Ensure flour is heat treated to avoid consumption of raw flour risks.
- Use mini chocolate chips for better distribution in the dough.
- Store the cookie dough refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- For a vegan version, substitute butter with vegan margarine and milk with a plant-based alternative.
- The cookie dough is best consumed cold or at room temperature.
