Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (more if needed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon red food coloring (gel preferred for vibrant color)
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup mini white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Heat-Treat the Flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes to kill any potential bacteria. Remove and allow to cool completely before using in the recipe.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined, forming the base of your dough.
- Add Milk, Vanilla, and Food Coloring: Mix in the milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring thoroughly. For a deeper red color, feel free to add a bit more food coloring until you achieve your desired vibrancy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the heat-treated flour, cocoa powder, and salt to evenly distribute the dry components.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. If the dough feels too dry or crumbly, add an extra tablespoon of milk to bring it together without becoming sticky.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the mini white chocolate chips to add sweet bursts of flavor and texture throughout the dough.
- Chill (Optional): For optimal texture and ease of serving, chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. This step can be skipped if you prefer to enjoy it immediately.
- Serve: Scoop the edible red velvet cookie dough into small bowls or enjoy it straight from the mixing bowl with a spoon. Perfect for sharing or indulging solo!
