Description

This Edible Cookie Dough recipe offers a safe and delicious treat that requires no baking beyond heat-treating the flour. With a creamy blend of butter, sugars, and vanilla, combined with miniature chocolate chips, it’s perfect for snacking or as a fun dessert. The recipe yields a soft, rich dough that’s completely safe to eat raw and easy to prepare in just 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (180g) miniature chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
  • 2 Tablespoons (29ml) milk, plus more if needed

Instructions

  1. Heat treat the flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the flour evenly on the pan. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until the flour reaches 160°F internally, ensuring any harmful bacteria are eliminated. Let the flour cool completely and sift it before mixing to prevent clumps and ensure a smooth dough texture.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric or stand mixer to beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix on medium speed until the mixture turns light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Then add the vanilla bean paste and salt, beating until fully combined.
  3. Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the heat-treated flour to the butter-sugar mixture, beating just until combined to avoid overmixing. Add milk one tablespoon at a time, continuing to mix until the dough begins to come together and hold form.
  4. Add chocolate chips: Gently fold in the miniature chocolate chips with a rubber spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough without breaking them up.
  5. Serve and store: Enjoy the edible cookie dough immediately for the best taste and texture. Alternatively, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze the dough for up to 3 months and thaw it overnight in the fridge. Before serving again, allow it to warm at room temperature to regain softness.

Notes

  • Heat-treating the flour is essential to eliminate harmful bacteria and make this dough safe to eat raw.
  • You can heat treat flour quickly in the microwave by spreading it on a microwave-safe plate and heating in 30-second intervals until the temperature reaches 160°F, stirring regularly.
  • If the dough is too dry, add an extra teaspoon of milk at a time until you reach desired consistency.
  • Store cookie dough tightly covered to avoid absorbing fridge odors.
  • Before eating after refrigeration or freezing, let dough sit to soften for better texture and flavor.
