    Why You’ll Love This Recipe

    • It only takes 15 minutes and you’re cookie dough craving is conquered!
    • The instructions on how to “heat treat” flour are included below so you can avoid consuming raw flour (See why this is important below!)
    • This is a great base, so if you’re feeling like mixing things up a bit, try using other toppings as well! (See mix-in ideas below!)

    Is it OK to eat edible cookie dough?

    It is ok to eat edible cookie dough if you “heat treat” flour, so it can get rid of the bacteria that some flour is said to contain. This recipe also leaves out any raw egg so you don’t have to worry about E Coli. or Salmonella.

    Do you have to heat flour for edible cookie dough?

    You don’t have to but it is BEST to use heat-treated flour to make your edible cookie dough safer to eat.

    How do you heat treat flour?

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Evenly spread the flour on it. 
    • Place the flour in the oven and bake for about 8 minutes. 
    • You don’t want the flour to brown, but you do want it to reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
    • When it’s ready, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely.

    Edible Cookie Dough Without Brown Sugar

    We prefer using brown sugar in this cookie dough recipe but if you prefer to make it without, you absolutely can! Just leave the ingredients the way they’re stated but leave the brown sugar out.

    Ingredients You’ll Need:

    You only need a few common ingredients for this recipe:

    • 2 cups of All-Purpose Flour (Heat Treated – See Below)
    • 1 cup Butter (Unsalted) softened
    • ½ cup White Sugar
    • 1 cup Dark Brown Sugar
    • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
    • 5 tablespoon Milk
    • 1 ½ cups Mini Chocolate Chips 
    Ingredients for edible cookie dough recipe.

    How to Make Edible Cookie Dough

    You’ll want to start by heat treating the flour (with the instructions above).

    In a large bowl, add butter. Using a hand mixer beat it until smooth.

    Next, add the Vanilla Extract, Dark Brown Sugar, and White Sugar.

    Mix that until it’s thick, smooth, and fluffy.

    Gradually, add in flour a little at a time. Once all of the flour is mixed it should have an almost crumbly appearance.

    Now add the milk. Mixing again with hand mixer until “dough” is smooth all the way through.

    Lastly, fold in chocolate chips with a spatula and any other mix-in’s that you’d love in your cookie dough!

    What else can you add in to cookie dough?

    If you’re looking to add more than just chocolate chips, here is a list of our favorite ideas for adding to edible cookie dough:

    • m&m’s
    • sprinkles
    • dried fruit
    • white chocolate chips
    • pecans
    • walnuts
    • peanut butter
    • Reese’s cups/pieces
    • brownie chunks
    • crumbled snack cakes/cookies
    • toffee bits
    • butterscotch chips
    • potato chips
    • crushed pretzels
    • or you can even stuff crescent rolls with cookie dough for a double delicious bite!

    How do you serve edible cookie dough?

    We personally love to eat it right out of the bowl. However, there are other fun ways you can use it! Here are a great list of ideas:

    • serve it with ice cream
    • place it between two cookies
    • spread between two graham crackers and freeze for an ice cream sandwich
    • place it on top of cupcakes, like these red velvet cupcakes, as frosting
    • make stuffed crescent roll bites

    How long is edible cookie dough good for?

    It can stay fresh, in the refrigerator, for about a week.

    If you prefer to freeze edible cookie dough, try to consume within a month for best taste!

    Tips for Making This Recipe

    • If the flour seems chunky at all or stuck together use a sifter before mixing it with the other ingredients.
    • If you only have salted butter on hand you can make it with that, it will just be a little saltier (as expected) but still delicious!
    • This is a great base dough so if you’re feeling creative try mixing in other toppings as well. So many possibilities. See the list above of our favorite ideas!
    • Do not attempt to bake cookie dough it will not come out like a regular cookie: it will be soupy and flat.
