How to Make Cookie Dough Safe to Eat

The key to making this cookie dough safe to eat is not only to omit the eggs in the recipe (we use milk instead for moisture), but also to toast the flour before making it. (See this article on making raw flour safe to eat from Honeyville.)

Raw flour is not recommended as safe to eat because it can harbor bacteria. Toasting the flour for just 5 minutes is enough to kill the bacteria, making this raw edible cookie dough safe to eat without worry!

Is this cookie dough really safe to eat?

While regular cookie dough isn’t safe to eat, this recipe omits the raw eggs and raw flour so it is 100% safe to eat!

Can I bake edible cookie dough?

No, this cookie dough doesn’t have eggs or baking soda or baking powder so it will not bake up like regular cookie dough. It will spread and make a flat, tough cookie so just enjoy the dough!

Can I freeze the dough?

Yes, freeze up to 3 months in a freezer safe container.

How long does this cookie dough last?

Store it in an airtight container up to one week in the refrigerator.

Can I use this to make cookie dough ice cream?

Yes! Roll the dough into thin logs then freeze on a baking sheet. Once frozen, slice into small pieces and fold into your ice cream.

Do I need an electric mixer to make this?

It is difficult to cream the butter and sugars by hand but it can be done. Let the butter soften all the way to room temperature, almost to melting prior to trying to cream by hand.
