Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

- 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!
