How to Make Edible Cookie Dough
How to make edible cookie dough that is safe to eat by the spoonful! Including 5 flavors: chocolate chip, funfetti, peanut butter, and more.
Prep: 10 minutes
Total: 10 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsalted butter softened and cut into 4 pieces
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons milk or cream
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place the flour in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute to heat treat it and kill any bacteria. Let cool completely to room temperature. For an oven option to heat-treat the flour, see recipe notes.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the milk, vanilla, salt, and baking soda.
- Gradually add the flour as you mix on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
For Edible Cookie Dough Variations:
- Funfetti: Substitute brown sugar for white sugar, omit the chocolate chips and fold in 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles. Avoid over-mixing, as the sprinkles color will run.
- Double Chocolate: Replace half of the all-purpose flour with unsweetened cocoa powder; add 1 tablespoon milk.
- Peanut Butter: Use 1/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter. You can also replace the chocolate chips with peanut butter chips for even more peanut butter.
- Oatmeal Raisin: Replace half of the all-purpose flour with quick oats and replace the chocolate chips with raisins. Or keep the chips for oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough.
Notes
- To bake the flour instead of microwaving it, place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 350°F. Spread the flour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. To check for doneness, gather the flour into a mound and insert an instant read thermometer into the center; it should register at least 160°F. If it doesn’t, spread out the flour back out and continue baking, rechecking the temperature every 3 to 5 minutes. Let the flour cool completely to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- If adding the edible cookie dough to ice cream, chill the dough for at least 10 minutes, then roll into small balls and freeze before mixing it into your ice cream.
