How to Make Edible Cookie Dough, an easy no-bake dessert!
- First, heat-treat the flour to make it safe for raw consumption by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking at 350°F for 5 minutes. Let it cool completely before using.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer.
- Add the milk, vanilla extract, and salt to the butter-sugar mixture and blend until combined and smooth.
- Gradually add the cooled, heat-treated flour to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until fully incorporated and dough-like in texture.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough for that classic cookie dough crunch and flavor.
- Enjoy immediately as a soft treat or chill in the fridge for 30 minutes if you prefer a firmer texture.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure to heat-treat the flour to eliminate any harmful bacteria before using.
- Use softened butter for easier mixing and a creamy texture.
- Mini chocolate chips work best for even distribution and bite-sized sweetness.
- Experiment with mix-ins like chopped nuts or crushed candy bars for variety.
- Store leftover cookie dough in an airtight container to keep it fresh and chewy.
Storage and Reheating
Store your edible cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. This will keep it fresh and maintain its chewy texture. When ready to enjoy, you can eat it cold or let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly.
For longer storage, freeze the dough in portions wrapped tightly in plastic wrap inside a freezer-safe container. Thaw overnight in the fridge before consuming. Since this is a no-bake treat, reheating isn’t necessary and may alter the texture.
