A no-bake, safe-to-eat red velvet cookie dough with cocoa, vanilla, and white chocolate chips.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Dough

01 - 1 1/4 cups (160 g) all-purpose flour, heat-treated
02 - 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
03 - 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
04 - 1/4 cup (50 g) light brown sugar, packed

08 - 2 tsp vanilla extract
09 - 1 1/2 tsp red gel food coloring

→ Mix-ins

10 - 1/3 cup (60 g) mini white chocolate chips

# How To Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to eliminate any harmful bacteria. Allow to cool completely before proceeding.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
03 - Add the cocoa powder, salt, milk, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Mix until smooth and well combined.
04 - Gradually fold in the cooled, heat-treated flour, blending gently until the dough comes together.
05 - Add the red gel food coloring and mix thoroughly until the dough is evenly tinted throughout.
06 - Gently fold the mini white chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed.
07 - Scoop the dough into serving bowls or roll into bite-sized balls. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No oven required, which means you can satisfy a dessert craving in fifteen flat minutes without breaking a sweat.
  • The white chocolate chips scattered through that vivid red dough look like tiny snowdrifts, making every bite feel a little magical.
02 -
  • Skip the heat treating step and you risk consuming raw flour that could make you sick, so always take those extra five minutes.
  • Liquid food coloring will ruin both the texture and the taste, so invest in gel and your dough will thank you.
03 -
  • If your dough feels too soft after mixing, pop it in the fridge for twenty minutes and it will firm up beautifully without any adjustments.
  • Use a small cookie scoop for uniform balls that look as good as they taste, and roll them quickly so the warmth of your hands does not soften them.
