Edible chocolate chip cookie dough is one of my favorite ways to have the flavor of actual cookies minus all the baking and turning on the oven. And since I am not baking for a lot of people at this time, I decided to go with this single-serving sweet treat.

This is the best chocolate chip edible cookie dough recipe ever!

Since I’m talking about cool things, this recipe can also be rolled into little cookie dough balls and used in frosting or even as an ice cream topping. I mean who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookie dough bites ice cream!

Ingredients to make edible cookie dough for one

Here are the ingredients you will need to make homemade edible cookie dough for one, don’t forget to scroll down to the recipe card for the detailed ingredient list:

  • Butter
  • Brown sugar & granulated sugar
  • Salt
  • Vanilla
  • Heavy whipping cream
  • Chocolate chips- Can’t have chocolate chip edible cookie dough without chocolate chips. I used a mix of large chocolate chips and mini chocolate chips.

Ingredient substitutions

Here are a few things you can substitute in this recipe if you don’t have:

  • Vanilla extract- Use almond extract, it will make your cookie dough complex and luxurious.
  • Heavy whipping cream- Use milk instead, it will work just as well.

How to make raw cookie dough safe to eat?

The answer is pretty simple, we are not using raw eggs and we are heat treating our flour. I popped it in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl and that did the trick to keeping any foodborne illness away.

Raw flour can have E. coli (that’s why we bake it), and raw eggs can have salmonella (and that’s why we don’t use eggs)

How to make this easy edible cookie dough recipe?

Here is the best way to make this quick treat, make sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the detailed recipe!

  • Cream the butter, light brown sugar, and white sugar together.
  • Add in the vanilla extract and the heavy whipping cream and mix until incorporated.
  • Cool your cooked flour and add in to the wet mixture. Stir until well combined.
  • Chocolate chip time! Now add in as little of or as much chocolate chips as you’d like, mix and enjoy!

Do I have to bake the flour for my edible cookie dough?

Yes, baking the flour is what will make this cookie dough safe to eat. Raw flour is not supposed to eaten (same with eggs), but who are we kidding, we all had some raw cake batter, brownie batter, and cookie dough.

But for safety reasons and just to be extra safe, bake or microwave your cake before measuring your flour for this recipe!

Bake the flour at 350F for 5 minutes before letting it cool then using it in your edible cookie dough recipe is a must. This technique will eliminate any harmful bacteria that could be in the flour.

I don’t have an oven, can I bake the flour in the microwave?

Yes you can 🙂 The rule of thumb is to microwave your flour at the highest setting until it reaches 165F, I do understand that not everyone has a thermometer so what you can do is microwave your flour for 1 minute and 15 seconds at the highest setting, making sure to stir after every 15-second intervals (so 5 times), let it cool, then use it in this recipe!

Can you bake edible cookie dough?

Unfortunately, this edible cookie dough is not made to be baked. When making edible cookie dough we don’t use eggs, leavening agents, or the right ratios of ingredients for the cookies to be baked. So if you try baking this you will end up with a flat, crispy cookie.

If you are really craving cookies, try these small batch chocolate chip cookies. They’re soft and chewy and we make them at least a few times a month!

Can I add this cookie dough to ice cream?

Absolutely! You can make this cookie dough, roll it into mini logs, wrap it with plastic wrap and freeze it. Once it’s solid, slice little rounds using a sharp knife and add it to whatever ice cream flavor you want!

Alternatively, you can make little balls of cookie dough and freeze them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and add them to your ice cream.

I love adding this cookie dough to the Tillamook chocolate peanut butter ice cream! So good!

Make this safe to eat cookie dough for one your own!

Instead of using chocolate chips, you can make this easy recipe your own with these substitutions

  • Peanut butter chips
  • Sprinkles
  • White chocolate chips and cranberries
  • Butterscotch chips
  • Some crushed up graham crackers and mini marshmallows

How long does single serving cookie dough last in the fridge?

This chocolate chip cookie dough can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

When you’re ready to enjoy it pull it out of the fridge and let it sit for 30 minutes to get to room temperature.

Can you freeze edible cookie dough?

You can freeze your cookie in an airtight container for up to 2 months.

      I wouldn’t say it is good for you per se. It is safer to take extra precautions.
