How to Make Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 2-4 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
### Step 1: Preparation
Heat treat the flour by microwaving it in 20-second intervals until it reaches 165°F (about 40-60 seconds). Alternatively, you can bake it at 350°F for 3-5 minutes. Once done, let it cool completely. This step is crucial for eliminating any potential bacteria in raw flour, ensuring your cookie dough is safe to eat.
### Step 2: Mixing
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step helps incorporate air into the batter, providing a delightful texture.
### Step 3: Combining Ingredients
Gradually mix in the heat-treated flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. As you mix, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired dough consistency. Aim for a soft and smooth texture that’s easy to scoop.
### Step 4: Finishing
Fold in the chocolate chips gently until they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough. Be careful not to overmix; you want to maintain that creamy, doughy feel.
How to Serve Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
You can serve this edible cookie dough straight from the bowl or scoop it into small bowls for sharing. It also pairs wonderfully with ice cream or can be used as a topping for milkshakes. For a fun twist, roll the dough into bite-sized balls and drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce for an eye-catching dessert.
How to Store Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Store any leftover cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze it for up to three months. Just scoop it into individual portions on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, and then transfer to a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the fridge before enjoying.
