Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Safety preparation: Read the disclaimer in the recipe notes below to ensure safe consumption practices for raw-flour-based edible dough.
- Heat the flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the flour evenly onto the pan. Bake for 6-7 minutes until the flour reaches a temperature of at least 165°F to eliminate potential bacteria.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt together for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. Then stir in the vanilla extract to infuse flavor.
- Combine flour and dough consistency: Mix the cooled baked flour into the butter mixture until just combined. If the dough feels too stiff, gradually add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until you achieve a smooth, edible cookie dough consistency.
- Add chocolate chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough for bursts of chocolate flavor in every bite.
- Storage: Cookie dough can be stored in the fridge for up to one week or frozen for up to one month to enjoy later.
Notes
- This recipe is safe to eat raw because the flour is heated to kill any harmful bacteria, and it contains no eggs which reduces the risk of salmonella.
- Be sure to use heat-treated or flour that you have baked yourself at home as instructed.
- Adjust milk quantity to get your preferred dough texture; some may like it thicker or creamier.
- For extra mix-ins, nuts or white chocolate chips can be added to customize flavor.
