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

Instructions:

Preparing the Flour

The first crucial step in making our edible cookie dough safe to consume is heat-treating the flour. Raw flour can sometimes contain harmful bacteria, so we need to eliminate that risk. The simplest way to do this is to heat it in the oven or microwave. To do this in the oven, spread your 1 cup of all-purpose flour evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until the flour reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Alternatively, you can microwave the flour in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until it reaches the same temperature. Be careful not to burn it. Once heat-treated, let the flour cool completely before proceeding. This step is non-negotiable for a safe edible dough.

Creaming the Butter and Sugars

Now for the part that really builds that classic cookie dough flavor and texture! In a medium mixing bowl, add your softened butter. Using an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer with a paddle attachment) or a sturdy whisk, cream the butter until it’s light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes. Next, add the granulated sugar and the packed brown sugar to the creamed butter. Continue to mix on medium speed until the mixture is well combined and resembles pnon-alcoholic ale, fluffy sand. The brown sugar adds moisture and that characteristic caramel note, so don’t skip it! Ensure there are no large lumps of butter or sugar remaining. This thorough creaming process is what gives the dough its richness and a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth quality.

Incorporating Wet Ingredients and Salt

Once your butter and sugars are perfectly creamed, it’s time to add the flavor enhancers. Pour in your ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract and, if you’re using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt. If you’ve used salted butter, you can omit the extra salt as it will likely provide enough. Mix these in until just combined. The vanilla extract is essential for that authentic cookie dough aroma and taste.

Adding the Flour and Milk

Now, it’s time to bring everything together. Gradually add the cooled, heat-treated flour to the wet ingredients. Start by adding about half of the flour and mix on low speed until it’s mostly incorporated. Then, add 2 tablespoons of milk and continue mixing. Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until just combined. At this stage, the dough might seem a bit stiff. If it’s too dry and crum extractbly, add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition, until you reach a wonderfully soft, scoopable, and cohesive dough consistency. You want it to hold together but not be sticky. The amount of milk you need can vary depending on the humidity and the type of flour you used, so it’s best to go slowly and adjust as you go.

Folding in the Chocolate Chips

This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for! Gently fold in your ½ cup of chocolate chips using a spatula or a wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix at this stage, as we want to keep the integrity of the dough and the chocolate chips. Distribute them evenly throughout the dough for that perfect bite every time. You can use semi-sweet, milk chocolate, or even dark chocolate chips – whatever your heart desires! For an extra decadent touch, you can even add some chopped nuts or sprinkles if you like.

Once everything is mixed, your delicious edible chocolate chip cookie dough is ready to be enjoyed! You can serve it immediately by the spoonful, roll it into small balls, or press it into a dish. It’s best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy this safe and incredibly satisfying treat!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I store this edible chocolate chip cookie dough?

Yes, absolutely! Once prepared, store your edible cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to a week. You might find the texture firms up slightly in the fridge, so let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping if you prefer a softer consistency.

Is this recipe safe to eat raw if I used regular flour?

This recipe is specifically designed to be eaten raw, meaning it uses heat-treated flour to eliminate any potential risks associated with consuming raw flour. If you were to substitute with regular, untreated flour, it would no longer be safe to eat without baking.

What can I do if my dough is too dry or too sticky?

If your dough is too dry and crum extractbly, you can add a teaspoon of milk or melted butter at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. Conversely, if it’s too sticky, try adding a tablespoon of flour at a time until it’s easier to handle and scoop.
