Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 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 the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating. Use a thermometer to check that the flour reaches at least 165°F (74°C) to make it safe for raw consumption. Remove the flour from the oven and let it cool completely before proceeding.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat them together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated, creating a creamy base for the dough.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring into the butter-sugar mixture. Stir until all ingredients are fully combined, coloring the dough with vibrant red hues.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the heat-treated flour, cocoa powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly until the flour is fully mixed and no dry patches remain, forming a thick, red velvet dough.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough until they are evenly distributed throughout, adding bursts of chocolate flavor to every bite.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the edible cookie dough in small bowls, use it as a decadent topping for ice cream or other desserts, or simply enjoy it straight from the bowl with a spoon.
