How to Make Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 grams)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
  • ½ cup butter (salted or unsalted, softened)
  • 2-4 tbsp milk (more or less as needed)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt (omit if using salted butter)
  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Prepare the Flour: Microwave the flour in 20-second intervals until it reaches 165℉ degrees, about 40-60 seconds. Alternatively, you can spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake it in a 350℉ degree oven for 3-5 minutes. Whisk or sift to remove any lumps and let cool.
  2. Cream the Butters and Sugars: Using a stand mixer or a large bowl with a hand-held mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in Remaining Ingredients: Add in the cooled flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula or spoon.

How to Serve Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Serve the cookie dough in small bowls or ramekins for an easy treat. You can also enjoy it straight from the bowl or use it as a topping for ice cream. Feel free to sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for added sweetness!

How to Store Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Store any leftover cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for about a week. For longer storage, consider freezing the dough in small portions. Just let it thaw in the fridge before enjoying it.

Tips to Make Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
