Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour, measured correctly (See Notes)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
- 2/3 cup light or dark packed brown sugar

- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup mini chocolate chips
How to Make Edible Cookie Dough
Step 1: Heat-Treat the Flour
Place flour in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the flour reaches 165°F on a thermometer (usually 1–1.5 minutes). Let cool completely.
Step 2: Melt the Butter
Cube the butter and microwave for 30 seconds until partially melted (soft but not fully liquid).
Step 3: Cream the Butter & Sugars
In a mixing bowl (or stand mixer with paddle attachment), beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed for 2–3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
Step 4: Add Wet Ingredients
Add peanut butter, milk, vanilla, and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
Step 5: Add Flour
Gradually mix in the cooled, heat-treated flour on low speed until just combined.
Step 6: Add Chocolate Chips
Fold in mini chocolate chips by hand. Chill briefly for a firmer texture—or dig in right away!
Pro Tips for the Best Edible Cookie Dough
- Weigh your flour – A kitchen scale gives perfect consistency every time.

- Don’t skip heat-treating – It kills bacteria and makes raw flour safe to eat.
- Cream properly – Mix butter and sugars well to avoid grainy texture.
- Scrape the bowl – Do this during mixing so everything blends evenly.
- Taste and tweak – Add a pinch more salt or sugar if needed.
- Adjust consistency – Too stiff? Add a splash of milk, one tablespoon at a time.
- Chill or not – Chill for 10 minutes for a fudgier bite, or enjoy soft right away.
