π§βπ³ Step-by-Step Instructions
Ready to make your Red Velvet Edible Cookie Dough? Follow these easy steps, and youβll have a delicious treat in no time!
Step 1: Heat-Treat the Flour
Before starting, itβs important to heat-treat the flour to ensure itβs safe to eat raw.
1οΈβ£ Place the flour on a baking sheet and spread it out evenly.
2οΈβ£ Bake at 350Β°F (175Β°C) for 5β7 minutes. This kills any harmful bacteria.
3οΈβ£ Let it cool completely before using. π
Step 2: Cream the Butter & Sugars
1οΈβ£ In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for this step.
2οΈβ£ Add the vanilla extract and mix again until combined. The butter-sugar mixture should be fluffy and light.
Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients & Milk
1οΈβ£ Add the red velvet cake mix, salt, and heat-treated flour into the butter-sugar mixture.
2οΈβ£ Mix on low speed to combine until everything is incorporated.
3οΈβ£ Slowly add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together and is smooth but not too sticky.
π‘ Pro Tip: If you want a thicker dough, add less milk. For a softer, creamier texture, add more.
Step 4: Fold in the Chocolate Chips
1οΈβ£ Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula or spoon.
2οΈβ£ Donβt overmix, just enough to distribute the chips evenly.
Step 5: Chill the Dough (Optional)
1οΈβ£ Once your dough is ready, you can chill it for about 30 minutes in the fridge. This will help it firm up and make it easier to scoop and serve.
2οΈβ£ But if youβre craving it immediately, go ahead and dive in! π
