There are a ton variations of this recipe you can try! Instead of chocolate chips, try using chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Reese's Pieces, Kit Kats, M&Ms or any other candy you like.

Festive Holiday Cookie Dough
For a fun, festive take on this edible cookie dough, substitute the chocolate chips with:
- ¼ cup Holiday sprinkles
- ¼ cup Holiday M&Ms
- ¼ cup mini white chocolate chips
- ¼ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Or use any of your favorite Holiday mix-ins! Just make sure they add up to 1 cup total.
Equipment
- I recommend using a hand mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment to make this recipe. However, if you don't have either, mixing by hand with a spatula or wooden spoon will work.
- If you choose to treat the flour in the oven, you'll need a pan to bake it in. You can use anything from a sheet pan to a cake pan, as long as the flour fits inside.
- Use a thermometer to check the temperature of the flour.
- A sifter will come in handy to break up the heated flour.
Step by Step Instructions
Heat Treat the Flour
The first thing you want to do is deal with the flour. Flour is raw and may contain bacteria, so you want to kill it off by heating it to 160°F. There are two ways to do this:
- Place the flour in a pan and bake it in the oven at 350°F for about 6 minutes.
- Heat it in a bowl in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes.
I prefer the microwave method because it's faster, but it's totally up to you! Either way, make sure you're stirring the flour and checking its temperature to ensure that all of it has reached the temperature necessary to kill the bacteria.
Make the Edible Cookie Dough
Step One (Picture 1 above) - Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, milk and vanilla extract until combined really well. You'll want to mix for a few minutes to try to get the sugar to dissolve a bit so it's less grainy.
Step Two (Picture 2 above) - The heat treated flour will be clumpy so try to break it up with a spoon and then sift it into the wet ingredients.
Step Three (Picture 3 above) - Mix the flour and salt into the wet ingredients.
Step Four (Picture 4 above) - Stir in the chocolate chips.
Recipe FAQs
What type of chocolate chips should I use?
Whichever kind is your favorite! I like to mix it up and use a variety of dark, milk and semi-sweet mini chocolate chips.
Can I skip heat treating the flour?
No, this is a very important step. Flour is raw and can contain harmful bacteria, so it's vital that you heat it to 160°F.
Why does my cookie dough feel grainy?
This could be because the sugars weren't mixed with the butter, milk and vanilla enough to slightly dissolve.
How much cookie dough does this make?
This recipe yields about 2 cups of dough. I'm able to get about 7 jumbo cookie scoops out of it.
What's the difference between cookie dough and edible cookie dough?
Edible cookie dough does not contain eggs or leavening agents which help provide structure for baked cookies. Therefore, please do not try to bake this edible dough. I also have a delicious chocolate chip cookie recipe if that's what you're after!
Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or the freezer for 1 month. I recommend letting refrigerated dough soften at room temperature for at least 10 minutes before eating it.

Heat treat the flour by either baking it in the oven at 350°F for about 6 minutes, or in a bowl in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Be sure to stir it and check it with a thermometer to make sure it reaches 160°F. Let it cool.

Notes
On January 11th, 2022, this recipe was updated with new measurements for the brown sugar and granulated sugar. If you prefer the original recipe (published November 30th, 2020), use ½ cup of each of those ingredients.
Heat treating the flour is very important - do not skip this step. Flour is raw so it needs to be heated to 160°F to kill any potentially harmful bacteria it may contain.
Store cookie dough in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or the freezer for 1 month. Let it soften at room temperature for at least 10 minutes before enjoying.
You can use any type of chocolate chips that you'd like, or replace them with your favorite candies.

I absolutely love this recipe. I have spent so long trying to find a good cookie dough recipe. This one actually tastes like cookie dough and not just flour. Good job on the recipe.Reply
Echo
All three quantities call for "1 stick" of butter. If the other quantities increase, shouldn't the butter also increase? This can't be right. ?

You're correct! Apologies for the confusion, I will fix that right away 🙂 Thank you!

No apologies needed. 😊 I just didn't want to do this wrong. My husband is a huge cookie dough fan but I've always worried about the raw flour. He is SO excited to have this. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!Reply
Sara
Love this recipe! So simple and delicious! Any reason not to be able to store it room temp? It yields about the same as buttercream and I always leave my buttercream room temp. Thanks!Reply
Kayla Burton
Thank you, I'm so glad you like it! I chill it just to be safe and have it keep a little longer 🙂
