This Edible Red Velvet Cookie Dough is a safe-to-eat no-bake dessert with classic red velvet flavor, creamy texture, and plenty of chocolate chip sweetness. It is made without raw eggs and with heat-treated flour, so you can enjoy it by the spoonful straight from the bowl.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Heat-treat the flour.
    Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread the flour in a thin, even layer on a baking sheet. Bake it for about 5 minutes, stirring once or twice so it heats evenly. Check the temperature with a thermometer and make sure it reaches 165°F. Once it is done, let the flour cool completely before you use it. If you want to make extra, keep the cooled flour in a sealed container for later. This step is what makes the flour safe for edible cookie dough.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars.
    In a medium or large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter together with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture looks smooth and well blended. The texture should turn creamy and slightly fluffy, with no big lumps of butter left behind.
  3. Add the wet ingredients.
    Pour in the milk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Mix again until the color spreads evenly and the dough starts to take on that classic red velvet shade. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed so everything blends together properly.
  4. Mix in the dry ingredients.
    Add the cooled heat-treated flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir just until the dry ingredients disappear and the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing, since that can make the texture heavier than you want.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
    Add the mini chocolate chips and gently fold them through the dough until they are evenly scattered throughout. You want little bursts of chocolate in every bite.
  6. Serve or chill.
    Enjoy the cookie dough right away if you like a softer texture, or chill it for a firmer spoonable consistency. Serve it in small bowls, scoop it over ice cream, or eat it straight from the bowl with a spoon.
