Ingredients Needed

  • Butter: for this recipe I use softened unsalted butter, but you can use salted butter and omit the addes salt.
  • Sugar: just like my favorite cookies, we are using a combination of granulated and light brown sugar
  • Milk: this is used for binding in place of egg
  • All-purpose flour: if you don’t want to eat raw flour, did you know you can bake flour for putting in edible cookie dough? Heat treated flour is pasteurized and safe to eat raw.
  • Your favorite add-ins, like semi-sweet chocolate chips – see below for ideas.

How to Pasteurize Flour

Just like how raw eggs can be full of harmful bacteria like salmonella, flour can also harbor bacteria. To make it safe to eat raw, you just need to toast it in the oven. You can pasteurize it by baking it on a baking sheet for 5 minutes at 350°F. Read my post about how to pasteurize flour here.

  • The process is just like making regular cookie dough that you bake. Cream the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
  • Mix in the salt, vanilla, and milk.
  • Once the mixture is smooth, add the flour and then mix in your add-ins.
  • To serve it, you can scoop it like ice cream and serve it in bowls. Or, serve it in one bowl as a dip.

  • Chopped candy like chocolate bars, chocolate mints, or other candy you like

FAQs

Can you bake edible cookie dough?

Technically you can, but it won’t be like a cookie if you do. Without eggs and baking soda, it won’t bake properly.

How do you leave eggs out of dough to eat it?

 Substitute milk for the eggs to make cookie dough safe to eat.

Is it safe to eat raw flour?

To be totally safe, I recommend baking flour first before adding it to your cookie dough. It only takes five minutes, and it will kill any bacteria that are in the raw flour.

    1. So I know the article talks about pasteurizing the flour but the recipe itself does not nor does it call for “pasteurized” flour just “all purpose” floor.
