Red Velvet Cookie Dough

Step 1

Start by heat-treating the flour. Microwave the flour in a bowl for four 20-second intervals, stirring after each one. Then, let it cool for 5-10 minutes.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, use a rubber spatula or an electric hand mixer to combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Mix in the vanilla extract and red food coloring. Start with a small amount and add more coloring to achieve the desired red shade. The color will darken after adding the cocoa.

Step 4

Add the cooled heat-treated flour and cocoa powder. Mix until a thick, smooth cookie dough forms. If it is too thick for your liking, you can add a splash of water. Add more food coloring if desired.

Step 5

Fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly combined. Enjoy immediately, or store the dough in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
