Ingredients for Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

• Unsalted butter: Room temperature.
• Brown sugar: Light brown sugar gives the cookie dough that classic chocolate chip cookie flavor!
• Salt: A pinch of salt brings out the flavor of the ingredients and is a contrast to the sweetness.
• Vanilla extract: Vanilla extract adds great flavor to the cookie dough.
• Milk: A bit of milk helps bind the dough. Use what you have in your fridge!
• All-purpose flour: The flour is heat-treated to reduce/eliminate bacteria. (See how to do this below)
• Mini chocolate chips: You will want to use mini chocolate chips for the best texture. You can also use regular if you prefer.
• Rainbow sprinkles: A bit of rainbow sprinkles adds some color and fun to the cookie dough!

How to Make Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

This recipe is incredibly easy to make! In less than 5 minutes, you will be stuffing your face with yummy cookie dough! I recommend using an electric hand mixer to make the cookie dough.

1. In a mixing bowl, cream together room temperature butter, brown sugar, and salt.
2. Add vanilla extract and milk and continue to mix.
3. Add in heat-treated flour and mix on low speed until just combined.
4. Fold in mini chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles until dispersed throughout the dough.

How to Heat-Treat Flour

Because flour is in raw form, it must be heat-treated to kill any bacteria and make it safe for consumption. The flour needs to be at 165 degrees F to be safe. There are two ways to do this. I will let you choose your own adventure.

• Microwave: Pour the flour into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high in the microwave for 30 second intervals stirring in between. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature of the flour. If it has not yet reached 165 degrees, continue to microwave in 30 second intervals. I have found that 60 to 90 seconds does the trick.
• Oven: Spread the flour on a clean baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake the flour in a 300 degree F oven in 2 minute intervals, stirring in between. Again, use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature of the flour, aiming for 165 degrees F.

I personally prefer the microwave method for two reasons: (1) It is faster and (2) It creates less mess!
