Variations
Non-Dairy: Use non-dairy butter and milk to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
Flavored Dough: Add a dash of cinnamon or a teaspoon of cocoa powder for a fun twist on the flavor.
Nutty: If you love nuts, try folding in chopped walnuts or pecans instead of chocolate chips.
More Chocolate: If you’re a true chocolate lover, add more mini chocolate chips or drizzle some melted chocolate on top for an extra indulgent treat.
Gluten-Free: Swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free alternative like almond flour (just make sure it’s heat-treated for safety).
Storage/Reheating
This edible cookie dough can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The dough will firm up a bit once chilled, but it can be scooped and enjoyed straight from the fridge. If you want it softer, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before indulging. I find that it’s even more satisfying when chilled!
FAQs
Can I bake this cookie dough?
This recipe is for edible cookie dough, so it’s meant to be enjoyed raw. If you want to bake it, you would need to adjust the ingredients and baking process for standard cookie dough.
Can I use regular milk instead of non-dairy milk?
Yes, you can! I personally use whatever milk I have on hand. Both regular and non-dairy milk work great in this recipe.
How can I make this recipe vegan?
To make this cookie dough vegan, swap the butter for a non-dairy butter and use a plant-based milk like almond or oat milk. You can also use maple syrup instead of brown sugar if preferred.
Can I use regular flour instead of heat-treated flour?
It’s best to use heat-treated flour for safety, as raw flour can sometimes contain bacteria that may cause illness. Heat-treated flour ensures the dough is safe to eat.
Can I double or triple the recipe?
Absolutely! This recipe is easily scalable. Just multiply the ingredients to make more servings, but keep in mind that the cooking time stays the same since there’s no baking required.
Conclusion
This easy edible cookie dough is a must-try when I need a quick, delicious treat without the effort of baking. It’s so satisfying and customizable – I love making it my own with different mix-ins.
