how to make Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 grams)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
  • ½ cup butter (salted or unsalted, softened)
  • 2-4 tbsp milk (more or less as needed)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt (omit if using salted butter)
  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Directions:

  1. Microwave the flour in 20-second intervals until it reaches 165℉ degrees, which takes around 40-60 seconds. Alternatively, you can spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake it in a 350℉ degree oven for 3-5 minutes. Whisk or sift the flour to remove any lumps and let it cool.
  2. In a standing mixer or a large bowl with a handheld mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until it’s light and fluffy.
  3. Add the cooled flour, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Slowly add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula or spoon. Enjoy your edible cookie dough!

how to serve Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

For fun, consider using it as a topping on ice cream, or scoop it into little bowls for a sweet treat at parties. You can also roll it into bite-sized balls and freeze them for a quick dessert option later on.

how to store Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Store any leftover cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to a week. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze it. Just scoop portions onto a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer the dough balls to a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.

tips to make Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

  • Use heat-treated flour to ensure it is safe to eat.

variation (if any)

You can easily customize this recipe by adding different mix-ins, such as peanut butter chips, M&Ms, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet and salty bite. For a healthier twist, substitute some of the butter with Greek yogurt or use oat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
