Make this safe, eggless chocolate chip cookie dough that you can eat raw. It is a quick, no-bake comfort food dessert perfect for satisfying cravings without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk (any type)
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Heat-treat the flour: Spread the flour on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Let it cool completely before using. This step makes the dough safe to eat raw.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the heat-treated flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the vanilla extract and milk until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula.
  7. Serve the edible cookie dough immediately, or cover and chill for 30 minutes for a firmer texture.

Notes

  • To heat-treat flour without an oven, microwave the flour in a microwave-safe bowl on high in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until it reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.
  • This recipe makes a classic, indulgent dough. For a protein cookie dough recipe, substitute 1/4 cup of the flour with vanilla protein powder.
  • Store leftover safe to eat raw dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
