This cookie dough is incredibly delicious, and stores perfectly in the freezer so you can always have edible cookie dough treats on hand.
EDIBLE COOKIE DOUGH
I make a lot of cookies. And the cookies are delicious, but I am definitely a bigger fan of the dough than the actual cookies. I’m going to be completely honest and confess that I have consumed quite a bit of regular cookie dough – the kind with raw eggs and non heat-treated flour, and I’ve survived so far, but I’ve always felt a tiny bit nervous about getting sick from it.
These Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites are completely safe to eat! It only takes a few minutes to “cook” the flour to reduce any chance of harmful bacteria, and since you aren’t baking the dough, no eggs are required either.
Ingredients in Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites
Flour – All-purpose flour works best. Make sure to heat treat before adding to the recipe to make sure any potential bacteria is killed.
Butter – You will need a half cup (1 stick) of butter to make the cookie dough. I usually use salted butter and it works great. For best results, use real butter.
Brown sugar – For best results, use brown sugar that is soft and fresh.
Vanilla extract – The higher the quality of vanilla, the better.
Salt – Just a little bit of salt helps intensify the other flavors in the cookie dough.
Semi-sweet chocolate chips – I prefer to use mini chocolate chips, but regular sized ones work well too. You can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips if you prefer. Or M&Ms. Or sprinkles. Pretty much anything tastes good in cookie dough!
How to make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites
Preheat the oven to 350°.
Spread the flour evenly over a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet.
Add the butter, brown sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on a medium-high speed for 3 minutes, or until pale and creamy.
Add the flour and salt to the stand mixer and mix until combined and a dough begins to form. Fold through the chocolate chips.
Use a tablespoon sized cookie scoop to scoop the dough, rolling it into balls and placing on a baking sheet.
Transfer the cookie dough bites to the fridge to firm up for at least 1 hour before enjoying or transferring to an airtight container.
HOW TO HEAT TREAT FLOUR
Raw flour has the potential to contain harmful bacteria, so it is important to heat treat it to make sure all bacteria is killed before consuming. You can heat treat flour in the oven or in the microwave – both methods work great!
IN THE OVEN
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread the flour in a thin layer on the parchment paper. Bake at 300° for about 5-6 minutes. The flour needs to be at a temperature of 160° to be safe. Use a meat thermometer to check and if the temperature isn’t high enough, cook for another 1-2 minutes before checking again.
IN THE MICROWAVE
You can easily heat treat flour in the microwave as well. This works great as long as you don’t need to treat more than 2-3 cups at a time. Place the flour in a large, microwaveable bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals until the temperature reaches 160°. Stir between intervals to make sure the flour heats evenly. You will probably need to heat the flour for about 2-3 minutes total.
Once the flour is ready, let cool. Use immediately in a recipe or store in an airtight container until ready to use.
HOW LONG DO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH BITES LAST?
Store these cookie dough bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. They have never lasted anywhere close to that long at my house!
CAN YOU FREEZE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH BITES?
These cookie dough bites are suitable for freezing. Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. You can defrost them in the fridge for several hours before eating or you can set them out at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. They even taste fantastic frozen too!
