A quick and easy no-bake edible red velvet cookie dough that captures the classic flavor without raw eggs, perfect for snacking or dessert toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, heat-treated
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese powder
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons gel red food coloring
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk (whole or plant-based)

Instructions

  1. Heat-treat the flour: Spread 1 cup (120g) of all-purpose flour evenly on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes, stirring halfway to prevent burning. Let it cool completely.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup (113g) softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes with an electric mixer.
  3. Add flavorings: Stir in 2 tablespoons cream cheese powder, 2 tablespoons sifted unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 to 2 teaspoons gel red food coloring until fully combined.
  4. Incorporate the flour: Gradually add the cooled, heat-treated flour to the wet mixture, folding with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Adjust consistency: Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk a tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough is soft and scoopable but not too runny.
  6. Final chill (optional): Refrigerate the dough for 15-30 minutes before serving for a firmer texture, or enjoy immediately.

Notes

Heat-treating the flour is essential for safety. Use gel-based red food coloring for best results. If cream cheese powder is unavailable, substitute with softened cream cheese and reduce milk slightly. Dough firms up when chilled. Adjust milk or flour to fix dough consistency.
