2. Ingredients for the No-Bake Red Velvet Cookie Dough

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed red velvet cake mix
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 3-4 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
• Drop of red gel food coloring (optional for extra vibrancy)
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
• Edible red velvet cake crumbs for topping (optional)

3. How to Make the Best Red Velvet Cookie Dough

Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, use a KitchenAid Classic Iconic Stand Mixer or a hand mixer to beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until creamy and fluffy. This step ensures your cookie dough develops the perfect texture.

Step 2: Incorporate the Red Velvet Cake Mix

Add the red velvet cake mix and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix until well combined, and add a few drops of red gel food coloring if you’d like the dough to be more vibrant. The cake mix not only adds flavor but also enhances the dough’s color and texture.

Step 3: Add Powdered Sugar and Dairy

Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, pour in 3-4 tablespoons of milk or heavy cream to achieve the desired consistency. The result should be a thick, scoopable dough that holds its shape.

Step 4: Mix in Chocolate Chips (Optional)

Fold in mini chocolate chips if you prefer a more decadent and textured cookie dough. This addition complements the red velvet flavor beautifully and adds a delightful crunch.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

For best results, refrigerate the cookie dough for about 30 minutes before serving. This helps it firm up and makes it easier to scoop and enjoy. For visual appeal, sprinkle with edible red velvet cake crumbs or garnish with additional chocolate chips.

4. Storage Tips for Your Red Velvet Cookie Dough

Store any leftover cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the dough for up to 3 months; just thaw it in the fridge before serving. Keep in mind that chilled dough is often easier to scoop and eat.

6. Tips for the Perfect Cookie Dough
