Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk more if needed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon red food coloring gel preferred for vibrant color
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ 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. Let it cool completely before using.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugars:
    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add Milk, Vanilla, and Food Coloring:
    Mix in the milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until well combined. You can add more food coloring if you want a more intense red color.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the heat-treated flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  • Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients:
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If the dough is too dry, add an extra tablespoon of milk.
  • Fold in Chocolate Chips:
    Gently fold in the mini white chocolate chips.
  • Chill (Optional):
    For the best texture, chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
  • Serve:
    Scoop the edible red velvet cookie dough into small bowls or eat directly from the mixing bowl!
