Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 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
Dry Ingredients
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Heat Treat the Flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Spread the 2/3 cup of all-purpose flour evenly on a baking sheet. Bake the flour for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating. Use a thermometer to check that the flour reaches 165°F (74°C) to make it safe for raw consumption. Allow the flour to cool completely before using.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Beat or mix together until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a creamy base for the cookie dough.
- Add Liquids and Color: Mix in 1 tablespoon milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 tablespoon red food coloring until the mixture is evenly colored and smooth.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the heat-treated flour, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt into the wet ingredients. Mix until all dry ingredients are fully incorporated and the flour disappears into the dough.
- Fold in Mini Chocolate Chips: Gently fold 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips into the dough until they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Serve and Enjoy: Spoon the edible cookie dough into serving bowls. You can eat it straight from the bowl, use it as a topping for ice cream or other desserts, or enjoy it as a no-bake treat anytime.
Notes
- Heat treating the flour is essential to eliminate harmful bacteria when consuming raw dough.
- Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the dough.
- You can store leftover edible cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute butter and milk with plant-based alternatives.
- Red food coloring can be adjusted based on the intensity of color you prefer.
