Description

This Edible Cookie Dough recipe offers a safe and delicious way to enjoy classic cookie dough flavors without baking. By heat-treating the flour and using melted butter and sugars, this recipe delivers a creamy, sweet dough studded with mini chocolate chips that can be enjoyed straight from the bowl or chilled for a firmer texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

3/4 cup all-purpose flour (measured correctly and heat-treated)
1/3 cup brown sugar (packed, dark or light; dark preferred)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

1/3 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon whole milk (1% or 2% also work)

Instructions

Melt Butter: Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave or on the stovetop, then set it aside to cool to room temperature. It is important that the butter isn’t hot when mixing so it doesn’t melt the sugars or create greasy dough.
Heat Treat Flour: To make the flour safe for raw consumption, heat treat it by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking it at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes or microwaving it in a bowl for 1 minute until it reaches 165°F (74°C). Let the flour cool completely to room temperature before using. The flour should remain light and fluffy, with no burned spots.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cooled melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar briskly for about a minute until smooth and emulsified. Then stir in vanilla extract, salt, and milk until well combined.
Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the cooled, heat-treated flour to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture soft and tender.
Mix in Chocolate Chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough for bursts of chocolate in every bite.
Chill and Enjoy: If the dough feels too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up. Serve immediately or store chilled and enjoy as a sweet, safe treat any time.

Notes

Always heat treat the flour to eliminate any harmful bacteria before consuming raw.
Measure flour correctly by spooning into the cup and leveling with a knife for accurate dry ingredient quantity.
Use cooled melted butter to prevent melting sugars and greasiness.
Chilling the dough helps firm the texture but is optional based on preference.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
