I’ve been on a huge edible dough kick this summer, have you noticed? LOL! You may have also noticed that I skipped right over THE most popular flavor, which is, of course, chocolate chip. So, today I’ve got the best recipe for edible chocolate chip cookie dough you’ll find.

It’s been my go-to for years now. It’s got the all sweetness and texture you love about cookie dough, but it’s safe-to-eat, so you can enjoy it without a second thought.

Why Heat-Treated Flour?

Before we get to the best part; the recipe, let’s talk a bit about the elephant in the room—the importance of using heat-treated flour. Raw flour can sometimes have harmful bacteria, just like raw eggs do. By heating the flour, we eliminate those risks, so our edible cookie dough is not only delicious, but also completely safe to eat.

The Ingredients For Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 3/4 cup flour
• 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a small bowl, use the back of a spoon to cream the butter, brown sugar, and sugar together until light colored and smooth.
2. Mix in the Wet Ingredients: Add the milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the creamed mixture. Mix it thoroughly. Since we aren’t baking this dough, you want it to be as smooth as possible.

1. Incorporate the Flour: Add the heat-treated flour to the mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. The dough should come together nicely, with no dry spots or flour showing.
2. Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Finally, fold in the mini chocolate chips (and/or chopped walnuts, if you’re feeling adventurous).

1. Serve and Enjoy:
   Serve immediately in two small bowls or refrigerate for 3-4 days. If refrigerating, allow the cookie dough to come up to room temperature before eating it, for the best texture and flavor.

A Treat for Any Occasion

This edible chocolate chip cookie dough is versatile and is really perfect for any occasion. Need a quick pick-me-up in the middle of the day? Grab a spoonful. Hosting a cozy movie night at home?
