Cookie Dough That’s Safe to Eat
You guys probably already know that raw eggs are risky – they can harbor bacteria, which isn’t a problem as long as they’re cooked. So, if you’re ever tempted to taste-test the cookie dough before you bake it, this easy recipe for edible cookie dough is for you. This recipe has no baking soda, no eggs and heat treated flour!
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 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 – more on that in a minute!
