I’ve been making this edible chocolate chip cookie dough recipe on repeat, literally, and it’s near impossible not to sneak bites of it throughout the day from the fridge!
After making Kroll’s Kookies , I knew I had to make a version of that chocolate chip cookie dough into a safe to eat edible cookie dough recipe.
It’s loaded with mini chocolate chips, regular chocolate chips, heat treated flour (more on this below) and the perfect ratio of sugars. Trust me, I tested and tested to get that ratio juuuust right!
But why can’t I eat raw cookie dough?
The reason an edible chocolate chip cookie dough recipe is preferred over snacking on the raw cookie dough from a batch of chocolate chip cookies you just made is the potential risk of consuming harmful germs that can make you sick.
Flour is considered a raw food, and if eaten without heat treating, E. Coli. is a concern. And if consuming raw eggs, Salmonella is the concern.
I know the extra step of heat treating the flour sounds like a pain, but I promise you it’s EASY PEASY and takes less than 10 minutes.
You’ll love this edible chocolate chip cookie dough recipe because…
- No big electric stand mixer required!
- It’s delicious as is, or mixed into vanilla ice cream or a milkshake.
- Comes together in just 15 minutes (or even faster if you have the heat treated flour pre-made!)
- It’s a fun, no bake treat that is loved by all.
- It’s perfectly sweet, safe to eat, and you’ll be eating it by the spoon full!

Ingredient Notes
For the ingredient measurements and entire recipe, be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the blog post where the recipe card is located.
- All Purpose Flour and Cake Flour : Since this recipe is based off my famous Kroll’s Kookies, I heat treated both flours to create the perfect texture.
- Unsalted butter: softened at room temperature for just 10-15 minutes is perfect. You don’t need it overly soft or melty.
- Dark brown sugar: the dark brown sugar gives the cookie dough a rich flavor and gorgeous color.
- Powdered sugar : In my recipe testing I found using powdered sugar, as opposed to granulated sugar, gave the cookie dough a better consistency and texture. It’s soft and smooth as opposed to grainy.
- Whole milk: A little is necessary to thin the dough out, since we’re not using any eggs a little moisture is needed.
- Vanilla extract : Be sure to use a high quality vanilla. You could also use a combination of vanilla and almond extract if preferred!
- Salt: a little salt helps to cut the sweetness in the cookie dough.
- Chocolate: I love using a combination of regular milk chocolate chips and mini chocolate chips. Feel free to use whatever your favorite is.
