Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup heat-treated all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp red gel food coloring

Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients on your counter to streamline the process and ensure everything is ready for mixing.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heat-treated flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until thoroughly combined, breaking up any clumps.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter with both sugars using a mixer or whisk until light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Vanilla and Food Coloring: Mix in the vanilla extract and red gel food coloring into the butter-sugar mixture until evenly blended, giving the dough its signature red velvet hue.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Gently incorporate them until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and fold evenly into the dough to distribute the chocolate chunks throughout.
- Serve or Store: Scoop the cookie dough into bowls or containers and enjoy immediately for a soft, fresh treat, or refrigerate it to firm up and enjoy later.
Notes
- Ensure the flour is heat-treated by baking it at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to eliminate any bacteria making it safe for raw consumption.
- Use softened butter at room temperature for easier mixing and better texture.
- Red gel food coloring provides vibrant color without adding liquid that would alter the dough consistency.
- This dough can be refrigerated up to 5 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
- Adjust the amount of chocolate chips to your preference for more or less chocolate in every bite.
- Due to the absence of eggs, this recipe is safe to eat raw and is perfect for those avoiding raw egg consumption.
