Edible Cookie Dough! YUM!

Who is OVER this virus?! I know I am.

Itโ€™s been hard being cooped up in the house. I went back to work Monday (BLAH!), and I miss being home with my girls and hubs.

During the time of self-isolation, I indulged (as Iโ€™m sure we all did) in some major sweets! My go-to: EDIBLE COOKIE DOUGH

Just admit it! Your favorite part about making chocolate chip cookies is the cookie dough. I know thatโ€™s mine. 

My oldest daughter loves to bake, but sheโ€™s been a little preoccupied with Pokemon to want to help in the kitchen. Itโ€™s my littlest daughter who has been helping me make it. She claims she is the โ€œSecret Ingredientโ€! So sweet! 

The very first time I made it, I wanted chocolate chip cookies SO BAD, but we were out of eggs! During this time, it isnโ€™t so easy just running to the store, so in comes this recipe.

We made quite a few successful batches, but there were some fails as well. Iโ€™m going to give you some of the tips I found along the way!  
 
First things first, did you know you shouldnโ€™t eat raw flour?! It should be cooked before you indulge in this snack. I simple pop my flour into the microwave for 60 seconds. Maybe more or less depending on your microwave, I stop around 30 seconds, and whisk it around, otherwise itโ€™ll clump together. I then let it cool. It worked better when it wasnโ€™t as hot! 

Second, donโ€™t be a #hotmessmom like me and forget to pull out the butter. It should be at room temp. If you do end up forgetting, just soften it in the microwave! 

Third, I say vanilla is โ€œoptionalโ€ because I ran out after my second batch, and no one really noticed a difference. I thought it was richer with it, but again itโ€™s โ€œoptionalโ€. Donโ€™t make your hubs go out and get it if youโ€™re out! 

Last but not least, chocolate chip to dough ratio is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL! I LOVE to have chocolate chips in every dough bite, BUT my hubs just wants to eat the dough and no chocolate. Weird, I know!  

Sooo, Without further ado, I present my recipe for EDIBLE COOKIE DOUGH! 


INGREDIENTS: 

  • 1 c. unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 c. brown sugar
  • ยผ c. granulated sugar
  • 2 t
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 2 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1-2 tbsp. Milk
  • 1-? C. chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS: 

  1. โ€œCookโ€ or heat up your flour. The internal temp should be 165 degrees.  
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat together on low to medium speed, butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. It should be creamy, and a light brown color. YUM! Beat in the salt, and the vanilla (if you have it!) 
  1. Beat in flour until combined. I add about ยฝ a cup at time so it doesnโ€™t explode everywhere! It will start to come together. SLOWLY add your milk a little at a time. Fold in your chocolate chips with a spatula. 
  1. ENJOY!

This is honestly such a quick and easy recipe!  

I hope you enjoy this treat as much. Let me know if you end up making it!
