  • Pure Cookie Bliss: It tastes EXACTLY like the best cookie dough you’ve ever snuck from the bowl.
  • So Versatile: Perfect for birthday parties, movie nights, or just a treat for yourself. You can even make cute little cookie dough bites!

Alright, let’s get our goodies together for this fabulous Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough! It’s all about using the good stuff for the best flavor and, most importantly, safety. You’ll need the usual suspects for that classic cookie dough vibe, plus a little something extra to make sure it’s perfectly ready to eat.

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened: Making sure it’s softened is key for creaming!
  • 1 cup granulated sugar: For that sweet kick.
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar: This is what gives it that lovely rich, caramel-y flavor. Pack it in there!
  • 1/4 cup milk: Just a little splash to get everything smoothly combined.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract: Don’t skimp on the vanilla, it’s crucial for that authentic flavor!
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour: This is the star of our safety show – remember, we’ll heat-treat this!
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt: Just a pinch to balance all that sweetness.
  • 1 cup chocolate chips: Milk, semi-sweet, dark – whatever makes your heart sing! Or a mix!

Alright, let’s get down to business and make some seriously delicious, safe-to-eat cookie dough! It’s not complicated at all, promise. Just follow these easy steps and you’ll have that perfect scoopable treat in no time.

Okay, first things first – make sure your flour is safe for munching! You’ll want to spread your 2 cups of all-purpose flour out on a baking sheet. Then, pop it into a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Let it bake for about 5-7 minutes. The most important thing is to check that an instant-read thermometer registers 160°F (71°C) in the flour. This kills off any yucky stuff. Let it cool COMPLETELY before we use it. I usually spread mine out thin on a plate to speed this up. This step is non-negotiable for super safe Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough!

Now for the fun part! In a big bowl, grab your softened butter, granulated sugar, and that lovely packed light brown sugar. Cream them together until it’s all light and fluffy. You really want to whip it up well here – think pale and airy. This is what makes our Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough have that perfect cookie-like texture!

Next, beat in your milk and vanilla extract. Just a little splash of milk will do, but make sure it’s all mixed in nicely. Now, grab that totally cooled heat-treated flour and whisk it together with the salt in a separate bowl. Add this dry mixture to your wet ingredients a little at a time, mixing until it’s just combined. Seriously, don’t overmix here! We’re not making cookies to bake, we’re making dough to eat, so a gentle mix is key for the best Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.

Last but not least, fold in those glorious chocolate chips. You can use milk chocolate, semi-sweet, dark, white chocolate – whatever your heart desires! Stir them in gently until they’re nicely distributed throughout your Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. If you’re feeling fancy, now’s the time to add any other mix-ins like sprinkles or chopped nuts!

So, you’ve got your ingredients ready and you’re about to whip up this amazing Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. To make sure it’s absolutely perfect, here are a few little tricks I’ve picked up. It’s all about the little things, you know? Catherine always says it’s the details that make a recipe sing, and that’s so true!

First off, that butter really does need to be *softened*, not melted. If it’s too melty, your sugars won’t cream up properly, and we want that fluffy base. For the flour, patience is key – make absolutely sure it’s cooled all the way down after heat-treating. Hot flour is a no-go! When you’re mixing, don’t go crazy with the mixer once your dry ingredients are in; just mix until it’s *combined*. Overmixing can make it a bit tough, and we want that tender, scoopable texture for our no bake dessert. And if you’re thinking about making little cookie dough bites, chilling the dough for about 15-20 minutes first makes rolling them into perfect little balls so much easier!

While the classic chocolate chip is absolutely divine, this Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is like a blank canvas for your sweet creations! Don’t be afraid to have some fun and mix things up. You could totally add some colorful sprinkles for a festive birthday vibe, or maybe some chopped nuts for a little crunch. White chocolate chips or even a dash of cinnamon work wonders too. It’s amazing how a few little additions can make this cookie dough uniquely yours!

Now that you’ve got this glorious mound of Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, let’s talk about how to enjoy it and keep it fresh! The best part is, you can just dig in with a spoon straight from the bowl. It’s so rich and satisfying! If you want to be a little more elegant, or if you’re prepping for a party, rolling it into little balls makes for perfect cookie dough bites. Just make sure your Hands are clean, and roll away! They look so cute in a little dish.

When it comes to storing this delectable treat, an airtight container is your best friend. It’ll keep beautifully in the refrigerator for up to a week for easy snacking. Thinking ahead? This dough is fantastic for freezer friendly sweets! Just pack it into a freezer-safe container or bag, and it’ll stay delicious for up to 3 months. When you’re ready for a fix, just pop it in the fridge overnight to thaw, and it’ll be just as good as the day you made it. This Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is just too good to only enjoy once!

Got questions? I’ve got answers! Making sure this edible cookie dough is perfect for you is my top priority. Here are some of the things people ask me most often:

Absolutely! That’s the whole point! We’re using heat-treated flour, which makes it totally safe. Plus, no raw eggs means you can dig right in. It’s the perfect safe cookie dough for everyone to enjoy without any worry.

Oh, I know it sounds like an extra step, but that heat-treating is super important for safety! Using raw flour can be risky, so I really recommend sticking to that step for the best and safest no bake dessert experience. It’s quick and totally worth it!

Honestly, the sky’s the limit! Besides classic chocolate chips, I love adding colorful sprinkles for a festive look, especially for birthday party treats. Chopped nuts add a nice crunch, and white chocolate chips or Reese’s Pieces are also fantastic. Let your imagination run wild!

Making cookie dough bites couldn’t be easier! Just pop your finished dough into the fridge for about 20-30 minutes until it’s a little firmer. Then, grab a small cookie scoop or just use your hands (make sure they’re clean!) to roll little balls. They’re adorable and perfect for parties!

Just a little heads-up, this amazing Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is a treat, and like most treats, it’s best enjoyed in moderation! Based on the ingredients and typical serving sizes, you’re looking at about 450 calories per half-cup serving. The exact numbers can wiggle around a bit depending on the brands you use and how big your “serving” really is (guilty!), but it gives you a good idea. Enjoy every scoop!
