Learn how to make delicious Edible Cookie Dough. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (or coconut oil for dairy-free option)
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (see substitution below)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3-4 tablespoons milk (dairy or plant-based) — adjust for desired consistency
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate chunks)

For substitutions, I often swap out the all-purpose flour for gluten-free flour blends if I want to make this treat allergy-friendly. If you’re vegan, use coconut oil instead of butter and dairy-free chocolate chips. I’ve found that the key is balancing the richness with a splash of milk to get that perfect, scoopable texture.

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing your flour to eliminate any raw-baking worries. Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes. This step is crucial for safety and gives the dough a toasty flavor that reminds me of grandma’s freshly baked cookies.
  2. Allow the flour to cool completely before using. I usually do this while I soften my butter and gather the rest of my ingredients—makes the process smoother.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and creamy—about 2-3 minutes. I love using my hand mixer for this; it feels like a little dance in the kitchen.
  4. Mix in the vanilla extract until fragrant. I always take a minute to smell that rich aroma—it’s like a warm hug from my grandma’s kitchen.
  5. Gradually add the cooled flour and salt to the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined. If you’re using a stand mixer, keep the speed low to avoid splattering.
  6. Pour in the milk, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until you reach your desired consistency. I prefer mine a bit thicker for spooning, but if you want it softer, add an extra splash.
  7. Fold in the mini chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough. I love adding a handful of chopped nuts or sprinkles for extra texture, but that’s totally optional.
  8. Once everything is combined, give it a final taste. Adjust the sweetness or add a pinch more salt if needed. Now, it’s ready to be enjoyed—straight from the bowl or rolled into little bites.
