Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, heat-treated
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Red food coloring (gel recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon milk (add more if needed)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the all-purpose flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Let it cool completely before using.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the mixture until it’s light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Mix in the softened cream cheese until fully incorporated.
  4. Gradually add the cooled, heat-treated flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Mix until combined, but avoid overmixing.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract and a splash of milk to achieve your desired dough consistency. Start with 1 tablespoon of milk and add more if needed.
  6. Add red food coloring a little at a time, mixing until you achieve the perfect shade of red. Gel food coloring works best for vibrant results.
  7. Gently fold in mini chocolate chips for extra texture and bursts of chocolatey goodness.
  8. Scoop the edible red velvet cookie dough into small bowls or ramekins, or roll it into bite-sized balls for easy snacking.
