This edible red velvet cookie dough is rich, creamy, and safe to eat with no eggs or raw flour—perfect for red velvet lovers.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated — see Notes)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

2 tbsp milk (plus more as needed)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 tsp red gel food coloring (adjust to desired color)

Pinch of salt

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

Heat-treat the flour: Microwave flour in a bowl for 1–1.5 minutes or bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes to kill bacteria. Let cool before using.

In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Mix in milk, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, salt, and red food coloring.

Gradually add heat-treated flour, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Add a splash of milk if the dough is too dry.

Fold in white chocolate chips.

Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15–30 minutes for a firmer texture.

Notes

No eggs or raw flour means this dough is 100% safe to eat raw.

Use red gel food coloring for bold, vibrant color without thinning the dough.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
