Ingredients You Will Need

All the ingredients you will need to make Edible Cookie Dough including flour, butter, vanilla, powdered sugar, brown sugar, milk and Mini Chocolate Chips.

How to Heat Treat the Raw Flour

Step 1: Although the risk is super small, Raw Flour can have food-borne germs like Salmonella or E. coli. If you are worried about eating the raw flour in the cookie dough you can heat-treat the flour first. It will not change the taste but it means that you will not be able to bake cookies made with this dough.  All you need to do is spread the flour on a parchment paper-covered cookie sheet and place it in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Step 2: Place 1 cup of butter that has been softened to room temperature in a mixing bowl along with the powdered sugar and the brown sugar.
Step 3: Cream the sugar and butter until it is light and fluffy.
Step 4: Add the vanilla and mix until combined.
Step 5:  Add the heat-treated flour and the salt and mix until combined.

Step 6:  Add the chocolate chips (we think Mini Chocolate Chips are the best choice for Edible Cookie Dough.) Fold into the cookie dough with a spoon or a spatula.
Step 7:  If the Cookie Dough is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk and mix it into the dough until it is at the desired consistency. (If you are going to serve this as a cookie dip, you might want it to be thinner and you may need to add 2-3 tablespoons of milk.)

Expert Tips and FAQ’s

How long will the cookie dough last?

As with most desserts, the cookie dough will taste best the day you make it but it will last up to a week if you store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Can I use this cookie dough to bake cookies?

Not really. It is missing crucial leavening ingredients like eggs and baking soda. And if you heat-treated the flour, that is a problem too. Grab a spoon, this version of cookie dough is meant to be eaten raw!
