Make Edible Cookie Dough

Baking cookies is delicious, but sometimes the best part of baking cookies is eating the cookie dough. Unfortunately, cookie dough is both delicious and slightly dangerous; eating all that raw egg could cause health problems such as salmonella. Looking for all the flavor of cookie dough without the risk of eating raw eggs? If you want to make dough you can safely eat, then all you need is some sugar, dough, flour, and a few other key ingredients.

Low fat cookie dough in seconds

  1. Mix the butter, sugar, and milk together. If you want very dry and crackly dough, do not add milk. For results that look like dough or thick paste, add milk.
  2. Roll into a ball.
  3. When done, take another bowl and mix the vanilla and flour into a big ball.
  4. Mash the two balls together until it forms one big ball.
  5. Keep rolling and mashing until it becomes a very thick paste. It is now ready to eat.
  6. To make into a cookie, add 3 tablespoons of sugar, chocolate chips and sprinkles (optional) and 1 tablespoon of milk.
    • Bake for 17-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Finished.



Tips

  • Remember that this dough is for eating, not necessarily for baking. If you try baking them, you might want to add a raising agent unless you like flat, crispy cookies.
  • Immediate consumption is usually advisable. If you leave the dough wrapped in film in your fridge or just leave it out in a bowl, in a matter of hours, the dough will start leaking grease from whatever you've used with the sugar. This can be particularly disgusting if you've wrapped it up and have to pull it out of a bag full of yellow grease!
  • Have regular/granulated sugar but no caster sugar? Regular sugar is a good substitute.
  • Pasteurized eggs are readily available in many supermarkets, so if you are worried about eating raw eggs but would like to eat traditional cookie dough, use them in place of raw eggs.
  • You can add almost anything to cookie dough! Try adding peanuts or pecans, or even stir in some caramel, or peanut butter.
  • Using a low-fat spread such as sunflower spread is a way to make non-dairy cookies. Note, however, that any nut or seed spread will result in a denser dough, and you should take this into account when preparing. Remember also, that nut and seed butter substitutes will still result in a rich cookie, so don't use this substitution as an excuse for over-indulging, for the calories remain just as high, and there may be an even greater risk (compared to butter) of coronary heart disease due to trans fats.
  • For an extra chocolate flavor and an almost fudge-like texture, try melting the chocolate chips first before mixing it with the dough.
  • Peanut butter is a great ingredient to add. It does have a strong taste, so do not add more than 3 tablespoons.

Warnings

  • While the main concern with eating raw cookie dough may be the raw eggs, it's also worth noting that eating raw refined flour may as well irritate digestive processes or aggravate allergies. Again, don't overindulge.
  • Do not add any unpasteurized eggs because consuming raw eggs might result in salmonella infection.
