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

Step 1: Heat-Treat the Flour

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!

Step 2: Cream the Butter & Sugar

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.

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients

Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until fully combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated.

Step 4: Add the Flour

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.

Step 5: Add Chocolate Chips

Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Use a spatula to make sure every spoonful gets some chocolatey goodness!

Step 6: Serve or Chill

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.
