The Best Edible Cookie Dough Needs These Ingredients
You simply need a few basic cupboard items to make this cookie dough that doesn’t need to be baked:
- Butter without salt gives food a rich flavor and a creamy texture.
- Brown sugar and granulated sugar make things sweeter and chewier.
- Salt makes the taste better.
- Vanilla adds depth and warmth.
- Heavy whipping cream makes the right consistency (or you can use milk instead).
- For the greatest texture, use a blend of micro chocolate chips and large chocolate chips.
Changing the ingredients
If you don’t have these things, you can use these instead:
- Vanilla extract: Use almond extract instead. It will make your cookie dough rich and complex.
- Instead of heavy whipping cream, use milk. It will work just as well.
How to Make Cookie Dough Safe to Eat
Eating raw cookie dough is delightful, but raw flour might have bacteria that are bad for you, including E. coli. This is how to keep it safe:
- You can heat-treat the flour by microwaving it for 15 seconds at a time for 90 seconds or baking it at 350°F for 5 minutes.
- No eggs! This dish doesn’t use any eggs, so it’s safe to eat.
Do I need to bake the flour for my cookie dough that I can eat?
Yes, the flour needs to be baked in order for the cookie dough to be safe to eat. We all ate some raw cake batter, brownie batter, and cookie dough, even though we weren’t meant to.
But for safety reasons and to be extra safe, bake or microwave your cake before you measure out the flour for this recipe.
Before you use the flour in your edible cookie dough recipe, you need to bake it at 350F for 5 minutes and then allow it cool. This method will get rid of any bad germs that might be in the flour.
I don’t have an oven. Can I bake the flour in the microwave?
Yes, you can 🙂 The best way to microwave your flour is to set it to the highest setting and heat it until it reaches 165F. I know that not everyone has a thermometer, so you can microwave your flour for 1 minute and 15 seconds at the highest setting, stirring it every 15 seconds (five times), letting it cool, and then using it in this recipe!
Can I use almond or oat flour instead?
Yes! Almond and oat flour don’t need to be heat-treated and perform fine as gluten-free alternatives.

Is it possible to bake this cookie dough?
This recipe won’t bake right because it doesn’t use eggs or leavening agents. You should make small-batch chocolate chip cookies if you want actual cookies. We make them at least a couple times a month, and they’re soft and chewy!
Can I mix this cookie batter with ice cream?
Of course! You may create this cookie dough, shape it into small logs, cover them with plastic wrap, and freeze them. Once it’s hard, use a sharp knife to cut it into small rounds and add them over any flavor of ice cream you like!
You may also freeze small balls of cookie dough on a baking sheet coated with parchment paper and then add them to your ice cream.
This cookie dough is great with Tillamook chocolate peanut butter ice cream! So good!
