Why You Should Make This Recipe
There are several reasons why you might want to make chocolate chip edible cookie dough:
- Unlike traditional cookie dough, which can contain raw eggs and flour that pose a risk of foodborne illness, edible cookie dough is made with cooked flour and no eggs, so is therefore safe to eat raw.
- Chocolate chip edible cookie dough is easy to make.
- You only need a few simple ingredients.
- Chocolate chip cookie dough is a classic flavor that many people love, and edible cookie dough allows you to enjoy that flavor in a new way.
- Edible cookie dough can be eaten on its own as a snack, or used as a topping or filling for other desserts, such as ice cream or cupcakes.
- You can easily customize your edible cookie dough by adding in different mix-ins, such as nuts or candy (we love it with M&Ms, Reece's Pieces or mini eggs), or by using different types of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate or white chocolate.
Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour: You will need to briefly cook the flour in the oven to ensure that it's safe to eat raw. Instructions below.
- Butter - Ensure it's softened to room temperature. My top tip to soften it quickly is to grate it, like cheese, on a grater. It then softens in about 10 minutes.
- Brown and White Sugar - To sweeten up your cookie dough.
- Milk - I use whole or 2%, both work, as well as soy, almond etc...
- Vanilla - I like pure vanilla extract.
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips - or try other chips, like white, butterscotch, or dark.

What Does It Mean to Cook Flour?
Raw flour can potentially be contaminated with harmful bacteria, such as E. coli or Salmonella, which can cause foodborne illness if consumed.
The Centre for Disease Control says, "You can get sick if you eat unbaked dough or batter made with flour containing germs. Germs are killed only when flour is baked or cooked."
So, cooking flour is an important step in making raw recipes that include flour, such as edible cookie dough, to ensure that it is safe to eat.
When flour is cooked, it reaches a high enough temperature to kill any potential bacteria, making it safe to consume.
To cook flour for raw recipes, you can spread it out on a baking sheet and bake it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Once the flour has been cooked, it can be used in your recipe as normal.
