Why We Love This Edible Cookie Dough Recipe
Making edible cookie dough is really simple. You’re basically just making cookie dough as you normally would, but you get to skip the baking part. No more wasted time waiting for the oven to preheat and the cookies to bake!
- Flavorful. This dough has the same great chocolate chip cookie flavor because it’s based on our favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe !
- Safe. There are no eggs in this recipe, and the flour is heated to make it safe for consumption.
- Versatile. This dough can be eaten alone with a spoon (our preferred method!) or added to ice cream or other desserts!
Variations on Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
It’s easy to use this edible cookie dough recipe as a base for any flavor of cookie dough you could imagine. Try adding different flavored baking chips, like caramel, peanut butter, or white chocolate, for a different flavor, or fold in some chopped nuts. For a sugar cookie dough, swap out the brown sugar for more granulated, and leave out the chocolate chips!
How to Store
After making this edible cookie dough recipe, store it in an airtight container. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, so you can sneak a few bites whenever you want!
How to Freeze
For longer storage, scoop this edible cookie dough into bite-sized pieces and freeze it in a single layer on a lined baking sheet until solid, about 1-2 hours. You can then transfer the frozen dough to a Ziplock bag, where it will keep for up to 3 months. Enjoy straight from the freezer!
Serving Suggestions
While we love serving this edible cookie dough recipe with a spoon, it’s also great on top of vanilla, chocolate, or red velvet ice cream . You can smooth it out into an even disc and use it as a topping for cheesecake or a filling in yellow layer cake , too!

Notes from the Test Kitchen
If a microwave isn’t available, heat the oven to 350°F and spread the flour evenly onto a rimmed baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes or until the flour (pushed into a mound in the middle of the pan) reads 160°F on an instant-read meat thermometer. Cook longer if needed.

To make this edible cookie dough safe to eat, we remove the eggs and cook the flour!
Most people don’t realize that raw flour can be just as unsafe as raw eggs. To make it safe for consumption (in this recipe or other recipes), you can microwave or bake the flour. Make sure it’s heated to about 160°F to remove any possible bacteria. If you skip this step, you put yourself at risk for salmonella!
This edible chocolate chip cookie dough recipe is made to be eaten raw. In order to make it safe to eat, we removed the things that would typically be needed to bake it, like eggs and baking soda. So if you tried baking this dough, it wouldn’t turn into great cookies.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
When I first started cooking, things could seem overwhelming. I quickly realized that they more prepared I could be, the more confident I felt. If you already have the basics in your kitchen, then you can shop stress-free.
So print out our easy grocery list, stock up your pantry and fridge, and you’ll be cooking in no time!
