Description
The ultimate edible cookie dough recipe that’s safe to eat raw! Made with heat-treated flour, brown sugar, butter, and chocolate chips, this easy no-bake treat takes just 15 minutes and tastes exactly like traditional cookie dough. Perfect for satisfying sweet cravings without the worry
Ingredients
For the Edible Cookie Dough:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (must be heat-treated)
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes, or until the flour reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a thermometer. Let it cool completely before using – this step is crucial for food safety!
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. The mixture should look light and creamy.
Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until fully combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated.
Slowly mix the cooled heat-treated flour and salt into the butter mixture. Stir on low speed at first to prevent flour clouds, then increase speed until a smooth dough forms.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Use a spatula to make sure every spoonful gets some chocolatey goodness!
Enjoy immediately for a softer texture, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour for a firmer, more scoopable cookie dough texture.
Notes
- Make it extra special: Add a pinch of instant espresso powder to intensify the chocolate flavor.
- Prevent dry dough: If your dough seems crumbly, add milk one teaspoon at a time until you reach the perfect consistency.
- Common mistake to avoid: Don’t over-mix once you add the flour, or the dough can become tough.
- Quick cooling trick: Spread the hot flour on a cold baking sheet and place it in the freezer for 5 minutes to speed up cooling.
