Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough made with heat-treated flour, no eggs and all of the cookie dough flavor that you love. Chocolate chip cookie dough that is completely safe to eat!
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.
This Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is completely safe to eat, but tastes just like the real deal! 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.
Ingredients in Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
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 cup (2 sticks) of butter to make the cookie dough. I usually use salted butter and it works great. For best results, use real butter.
Sugars – You’ll need brown sugar and granulated sugar. It’s especially important to make sure your brown sugar is soft and fresh.
Vanilla extract – The higher the quality of vanilla, the better.
Heavy cream – Just 2 tablespoons of heavy cream really helps to make the cookie dough smooth. If you don’t have cream on hand, you can use milk instead, but cream works best.
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.
How to make Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Preheat oven to 300°. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread the flour evenly over the parchment paper. Let the flour cook for about 5-6 minutes and then remove from the oven.
Allow the flour to cool completely.
Cream the butter and sugars together for 2-3 minutes. Add the vanilla and mix for another minute. Add the heavy cream and mix on low just until the cream is mixed in.
Add the flour and mix until well combined.
Use a large spoon to mix in the chocolate chips. Store the cookie dough in the refrigerator (if you don’t eat all of it immediately). Eat with a spoon or roll into 1″ balls in order to portion the dough.
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.
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.
Can you freeze edible chocolate chip cookie dough?
Edible cookie dough will stay good in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 weeks, but you can also store it in the freezer. It will easily last 2-3 months in an airtight container in the freezer. I prefer to roll the dough into balls before freezing since it’s a little bit tricky to scoop out spoonfuls of frozen dough.

I’ve never been a huge fan of shopping. The invention of Amazon and online shopping has been a lifesaver for me so that I can get what I need without spending hours in stores. Most of my kids seem to follow in my footsteps…except for daughter #3. She loves shopping. Always wants to go shopping. Anywhere. All the time.
When I took her on her trip a few weeks ago, we had one day that wasn’t scheduled out. I told her she could pick another theme park to go to and she said she would rather go shopping. I gave her a budget based on how much I would have spent on park tickets, and we spent 7 straight hours at the biggest outlet mall I’ve ever seen. She stayed just under budget and got a ton of stuff-we actually had to buy an extra suitcase to take everything back home with us!
