How To Make Edible Cookie Dough

You might be wondering HOW on earth we can eat cookie dough when it’s filled with raw eggs and flour.

Simple… we’re not using them in this recipe.

Instead of using raw, all-purpose flour, we’re going to heat-treat the flour (cook it ’til it reaches at least 165 degrees F), ensuring that it is safe from any harmful bacteria.

We’re going to skip the eggs altogether and use milk in its place to give our cookie dough the added moisture it needs.

What Ingredients are in Edible Cookie Dough?

Here’s the basic list of the ingredients you’ll need for this edible cookie dough recipe. As always, you can find the full list of ingredients in the printable recipe card below.

How To Heat-Treat Flour So It’s Safe To Eat

There are two different methods for heat-treating flour. You can either spread the flour out on a large, rimmed baking sheet and bake it, or you can simply pop it in the microwave and heat it up.

The microwave method is great because it only takes about 1 minute to reach that 165 degree temperature.

  • Place flour in a microwave-safe dish and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring to break up any hot spots in the flour.
  • Use an instant-read thermometer to make sure flour reaches 165 degrees F.
  • Let cool to room temperature before using.

Quality Ingredients Matter

When it comes to this simple recipe, you’ll want to make sure you’re using quality ingredients like the rich and flavorful Land O Lakes® Salted Butter in Half Sticks.

Land O’Lakes is a farmer-owned company with hard-working people who care. You can really taste the difference in the butter.

I love using a salted butter, but if you want you can also use unsalted and just add a pinch of salt to the dough when mixing.

Stick to whole milk and a true vanilla extract to give the cookie dough a nice flavor.
