I have to admit that I love sneaking a bite or two of cookie dough when making cookies only to feel guilty because I know I shouldn’t do that. But sometimes, I prefer the raw cookie dough over the actual cookie! 

Well, now I can indulge in cookie dough without the worry. This edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is an easy recipe without eggs and heat-treated flour to kill any bacteria. The sweet dough combined with the chocolate chips is the perfect treat anytime you need a little pick me up. 

I love to freeze the cookie dough and eat it cold. This Chocolate Chip Edible Cookie Dough is also a perfect topping on ice cream, brownies, cupcakes, or to dip graham crackers into. One bite of it, and you too will not be able to resist it!

RECIPE FAQs

What is the difference between cookie dough and edible cookie dough?

The two recipes are incredibly similar, and the process for creaming the ingredients together and then adding in the flour and chocolate chips is the same. However, the significant difference is that edible cookie dough has no eggs and uses heat-treated flour to avoid any bacteria in the recipe, making it safe to eat without first cooking the dough as you would for a standard cookie dough recipe.

Why do you have to bake flour for edible cookie dough?

Straight from the bag, flour can contain bacteria unsafe for consumption if not baked. The bacteria are typically killed when flour is baked in the oven within any given recipe. Because edible cookie dough is a no-bake recipe, it is necessary to first cook the flour for ten minutes at 350 degrees F to ensure the bacteria is killed before adding the flour to the dough for consumption.

Can edible cookie dough be cooked?

While you can shape the dough into balls and then bake to make cookies, they will not turn out as nice as regular cookies will. This is because this recipe has no leavening agent or eggs, so they will not bake as well. If you want a great-tasting cookie, I recommend The New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe and stick to this recipe when you are craving cookie dough!
