Ingredients
Edible Cookie Dough
1 cup all-purpose flour, heat treated to kill bacteria
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
⅔ cup light brown sugar, packed
3 Tbsp granulated sugar
½ tsp salt
2 Tbsp whole milk or cream
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
½ cup of each of your desired mix-ins
Mix-in options: chocolate chunks, M&Ms, Reese’s pieces, butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, oatmeal, peanut butter, or sprinkles
Directions
Edible Cookie Dough
To heat treat the flour: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the flour in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 5-10 minutes or until the flour smells slightly nutty or toasted (the flour should read about 160°F with an instant-read thermometer). Allow the flour to cool completely before using.
In a medium bowl, use an electric handheld mixer to beat the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt together until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add in the milk and vanilla extract and beat until incorporated. Add in the cooled flour and beat just to combined.
Using a rubber spatula fold in the mix-ins as desired.
Enjoy immediately or chill in the refrigerator to firm up.
Store any leftover cookie dough in the refrigerator or freezer. (Note that it will harden up once chilled because of the butter, so let the cookie dough rest at room temperature before enjoying again.)
