Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (heat-treated)
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (Dutch-processed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt (fine salt)
  • 1 cup Mini Chocolate Chips (optional, can substitute with white chocolate chips)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter (softened for easy mixing)
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar (can substitute with coconut sugar)
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar (can replace with additional granulated sugar)
  • 1/4 cup Milk (any type, including dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (pure vanilla recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon Red Food Coloring (optional, can replace with natural red beet powder)


Instructions

  1. Heat-Treat the Flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Spread the all-purpose flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The goal is to heat the flour until it reaches 165°F to eliminate any harmful bacteria. Once done, remove from the oven and let the flour cool completely before using it in your dough.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Use an electric mixer or a strong whisk to cream them together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fluffy. This step is crucial to create a light texture in your cookie dough.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the milk, pure vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Mix thoroughly until the color is consistent and all wet ingredients are fully incorporated, giving you that signature red velvet look.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the heat-treated flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet mixture. Mix gently but thoroughly until there are no streaks of flour or cocoa powder. The dough should be thick and slightly pliable.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently mix in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough. This adds a delightful chocolate burst in every bite.
  6. Enjoy or Store: Your red velvet cookie dough is ready to eat immediately! Alternatively, transfer it to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Ensure to heat-treat the flour as raw flour may contain harmful bacteria.
  • You can substitute red food coloring with natural beet powder for a healthier option.
  • The cookie dough can be enjoyed raw as it contains no eggs, making it safe to consume.
  • Use dairy-free milk and butter substitutes to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
  • Store leftover cookie dough in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.
