Ingredients

Scale

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

Dry Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Heat treat the flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a safe temperature of 165°F (74°C) to eliminate any harmful bacteria. Allow the flour to cool completely before using it in the recipe.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter with the granulated and brown sugars. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
  3. Add liquids and colorings: Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until the mixture is uniformly combined, giving the dough its signature red velvet color.
  4. Incorporate dry ingredients: Add the cooled, heat-treated flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Mix until the flour mixture is fully integrated and no dry spots remain.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough until they are evenly distributed throughout.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Spoon the edible cookie dough into bowls. It can be enjoyed as is, used as a fun topping for ice cream or other desserts, or simply eaten by the spoonful straight from the bowl.
