Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, heat-treated (see instructions)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Heat-Treat the Flour:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the flour on a baking sheet in an even layer.
- Bake the flour for 5-7 minutes to kill any bacteria. Let it cool completely before using. Alternatively, you can microwave the flour in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, for a total of 1-2 minutes until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Make the Cookie Dough:
- In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and milk, mixing until combined.
- Gradually add the heat-treated flour and salt to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated. If the dough is too dry, add an extra tablespoon of milk.
- Add the Chocolate Chips:
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Serve:
- Transfer the edible cookie dough to a serving bowl or divide it into individual portions. You can enjoy it immediately with a spoon or refrigerate it for a firmer texture.
- Store:
- Store any leftover cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. The dough can also be frozen for up to three months; just thaw it in the refrigerator before enjoying.
This edible cookie dough is a safe and delicious way to enjoy the classic taste of cookie dough without the need to bake. It’s perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth and makes a fun treat for kids and adults alike!
