How to Make Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 grams)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)
- ½ cup butter (salted or unsalted, softened)
- 2-4 tbsp milk (more or less as needed)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch salt (omit if using salted butter)
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Directions:
-
First, microwave the flour in 20-second intervals until it reaches a safe temperature of 165℉ degrees. This should take about 40-60 seconds. If you prefer, you can also spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake it in a 350℉ degree oven for about 3-5 minutes. Afterward, whisk or sift the flour to remove any lumps and let it cool.
-
Next, in a standing mixer or a large bowl with a hand-held mixer, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
-
Now, add the cooled flour, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well. Start adding the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
-
Finally, gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or spoon. Enjoy your edible cookie dough!
