How to Make the BEST Edible Cookie Dough Recipe

Heat Treat the Flour – You can do this in the microwave or on a baking sheet in the oven.; Once treated, set aside to cool completely.
Cream the Butter and Sugar – Use a hand mixer to cream together the softened butter with light brown sugar, granulated sugar and salt.
Add Milk – Add 2 tablespoons of milk and vanilla extract, beating until fully combined.
Combine – Add flour to the wet ingredients. Mix until the flour is completely absorbed. Add more flour in small amounts mixing until it forms a slightly crumbly dough. If it’s too crumbly, you can add additional milk in small amounts.

Recipe Variations, Tips and Substitutions

Chocolate Chips – You can use your favorite flavor of chocolate chips in this dough, whether it’s milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, or white chocolate chips. You can also use mini chocolate chips.
Sprinkles – You can add colorful sprinkles to add a pop of color.
Chill the Dough – While you can eat the dough immediately, I highly recommend allowing time for it to chill for the best flavor.
Why Do I Need To Heat The Flour? The flour needs to be heated so that any harmful bacteria is destroyed. The safe temperature for raw flour needs to reach at least 160°F up to 180°F to prevent foodborne illness.
Heat Treat the Flour in the Microwave or on the Stovetop – While I typically heat treat raw flour in the oven there are other ways. You can heat treat the flour in the microwave cooking for 1 minute 15 seconds stopping to stir at 15 second increments. You can also heat treat the flour on the stovetop over medium low heat in a skillet or a small saucepan. Stir while cooking for 3-5 minutes or until it reaches a temperature of at least 160°F up to 180°F.
Cool the Flour – If the flour isn’t completely cooled, it could make the batter may be slightly warm. If needed, pop the bowl into the fridge for 10 minutes or until cooled prior to adding the chocolate chips so they will maintain their shape.
Can You Bake Edible Cookie Dough? No, it doesn’t contain any leavening or eggs as a typical cookie batter would.
