Picture this: it's late at night, you're making your favorite cookies, but you can't wait for them to finish baking even though you know they aren't edible. You're tempted to eat the delicious, raw cookie dough. Instead, you're hit with the *DO NOT EAT RAW COOKIE DOUGH* message on the packaging that crushes your cookie dough dreams.
If you've ever been tempted to eat raw cookie dough by the spoonful, you're in the right place. I created a mouthwatering cookie dough recipe that's edible and safe to eat! The only warning? *EXTREMELY ADDICTIVE!*
Unlike regular cookie dough, this cookie dough is eggless and uses cooked flour, so its safe to eat. Eggs can contain salmonella, and uncooked flour can contain E.coli. If you want to eat cookie dough by the spoonful, edible cookie dough is the way to go.
Using my mom's cookie dough recipe and following food safety tips, I created a recipe for edible cookie dough that you can transform to any flavor you'd like. If you need flavor inspiration, I made a classic chocolate chip cookie dough, triple chocolate, peanut butter chip and birthday cake. No more waiting...it's time to treat yo' self!

Edible Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Add 1/3 cup of chocolate chips to your dough. I prefer dark chocolate chips, but you could also add semi-sweet or mini chips.
Spoon Tip: Refrigerate for 1 hour or freeze for 15 minutes to have cold dough. Cold cookie dough is my favorite!

Edible Peanut Butter Chip Cookie Dough
Add 1/3 cup of peanut butter chips and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Feel free to add more peanut butter than that. You can never have too much peanut butter...right?
Spoon Tip: Top with a sprinkle of sea salt if you're feeling ~fancy~.
Edible Birthday Cake Cookie Dough
For this flavor, I purchased pre-made vanilla shortcakes from Publix, roughly chopped two of the shortcakes and added it to the batter. Then, I added 3 tablespoons of colorful sprinkles. You can use any kind of cake/muffins you have on hand!
