πͺ Edible Cookie Dough (The Safe, Addictive Kind)
Craving cookie dough without the sketchy raw egg situation? You’re in the right place. This egg-free, heat-treated edible cookie dough is everything you love — creamy, rich, customizable — with none of the guilt (well, almost none π).
πΈ Visual Treat First
Imagine: A bowl of soft, scoopable cookie dough, studded with melty chocolate chips, Reese’s Pieces, and cookies 'n' crΓ¨me chips. A spoon dives in. Heaven.
π§ Why Edible Cookie Dough?
Let’s be real. We’ve all snuck a bite of raw cookie dough. But here’s the deal:
⚠️ Raw eggs = salmonella risk
⚠️ Raw flour = E. coli risk
So this recipe skips both, making it 100% safe and still 200% delicious.
π ️ Safe Dough Basics
✅ No Eggs
Use milk instead for moisture.
✅ Heat-Treated Flour
Bake your flour to kill bacteria. Super easy — here’s how:
π How to Heat-Treat Flour
-
Preheat oven to 350°F
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment π
-
Spread out your flour π₯
-
Bake 5–10 mins until it hits 160°F π‘️
-
Let it cool, then sift if needed
π‘ Tip: Don't let it brown. Just warm it through to sanitize.
π§ Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s your lineup:
-
π₯£ 2¼ cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
-
π§ 1 cup unsalted butter (very soft)
-
π― 1 cup packed light brown sugar

π§ 1½ tsp sea salt (or 1 tsp regular salt)

π©π³ How to Make Edible Cookie Dough
1️⃣ Cream It
Whip the butter until smooth. Add sugars and beat until fluffy.
2️⃣ Flavor It
Add vanilla. Mix.
3️⃣ Dry It Out
Stir in flour and salt gradually. Go slow.
4️⃣ Soften It
Add milk only if needed to get that scoopable texture.
5️⃣ Mix-Ins!
Stir in chocolate chips (or your favorite bits — see below π).
π Custom Flavors You’ll Love
Spice up your dough with these fun add-ins:
π« Classic | π Fun | ☕ Gourmet |
---|---|---|
Mini chocolate chips | M&Ms, Reese’s, Unicorn chips | Espresso morsels, Mint chips |
Chopped nuts | Sprinkles | Chopped toffee |
Cookies 'n’ crΓ¨me chips | S’mores mix | Toasted coconut |
π§‘ Personal Favorite: Reese’s Pieces. The peanut butter pop is chef’s kiss.
❓Can You Bake It?
Technically? Yes.
Should you? Nope.
π¬ No eggs + no baking soda = flat, greasy, sad cookies. Just… don’t.
Want warm cookies? Make proper dough and freeze it for emergencies π¨.
π§ How to Store It
π§ In the fridge: 1 week
❄️ In the freezer: 3 months
Freezing Pro Tip:
-
Scoop dough balls (2 tsp each)
-
Freeze flat on a tray
-
Transfer to a zip bag
-
Eat straight from freezer (SO good!)
Room temp dough is sweet. Frozen? Perfect texture. Soft bite, not too sugary. You’re welcome.
