Edible Cookie Dough
Description
This recipe uses heat-treated all-purpose flour that eliminates potential bacteria to make raw flour safe for consumption. Butter is creamed with sugars before adding vanilla extract and milk to create a smooth base. The heat-treated flour and salt are stirred in, and chocolate chips fold in last, creating a dough that can be eaten directly without baking.
The dough is chilled to firm up and can be kept refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for up to three months. It offers the familiar sweet, buttery taste and chocolate burst typical of cookie dough without leavening agents or eggs, so it remains soft and creamy rather than forming cookies when baked, which is not recommended.
Variations include rolling portions of dough into thin logs and freezing them to chunk into ice cream mixes, or substitutions like gluten-free flour and adding flavors such as cocoa powder or peanut butter. This versatility allows enjoyment as a standalone treat or an addition to desserts.
