Edible Cookie Dough

Edible cookie dough made by heat-treating the flour so you can eat it raw safely, then mixing until thick and fudgy with lots of mini chocolate chip clusters. The result is a golden-tan, scoopable dough with evenly distributed dark chips and a dense, spoonable texture.

Ingredients
  

Heat-treated flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Heat-treat before mixing to make it safe for raw eating.
Cookie dough base
  • 0.5 cup butter Soften first for easy creaming.
  • 0.75 cup brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp salt
Chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips Use mini chips for even distribution and more frequent bursts.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 microwave

Method
 

Heat-treat the flour
  1. Spread the all-purpose flour on a sheet pan and bake at 350°F for 5 min, then cool completely.
  2. Or microwave the all-purpose flour for 1 min 15 sec, stirring once halfway, then cool completely.
Make the edible cookie dough
  1. Beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy and lighter in color.
  2. Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in the heat-treated all-purpose flour and salt until the dough looks evenly combined and thickens.
  4. Fold in the mini chocolate chips until they form clusters throughout the dough.
Serve or chill
  1. Eat immediately for a thick, fudgy scoopable texture, or refrigerate for up to 5 days for firmer dough.

Notes

Key pro tip: heat-treat the all-purpose flour (raw flour can contain harmful bacteria) and let it cool completely before mixing so the butter doesn’t melt. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; freeze yes—freeze scoops on a tray, then bag and thaw in the fridge before eating. Dietary swap: for a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter and dairy-free milk.
