Edible Cookie Dough Recipe

Cookie Dough!! Who could resist a spoonful of this? It’s just sweet, nostalgic comfort food and perfect in every way. And no risk of food born illnesses here, it’s made with heat treated flour and no eggs so you can scoop away without all the worry.

Forget every other dessert I’ve ever recommend you make because this is the only one that really matters. Okay I’m kidding but honestly cookie dough is one of the best treats ever, right?

I’ve always had to sneak a taste of every batch of cookies before baking but this way is definitely the safer option.

The great thing about these recipes are that just about anyone could make it. No baking skills required! Sure cooking the flour adds an annoying step but it’s worth the peace of mind especially when you are serving it to someone else.

Since I love cookie dough so much I’ve decided to share THREE incredibly delicious flavors that will tempt everyone and anyone, trust me no one can resist young and old alike!

For Chocolate Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough you’ll also need cocoa powder, and I like to use dark chocolate chunks instead of the chocolate chips but chocolate chips are fine too. No brown sugar is needed.

For the Funfetti Sugar Cookie Dough you’ll also need almond extract and sprinkles. No brown sugar is needed.
