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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
