Nothing says childhood comfort food more than licking the spoon of cookie dough while baking. Look no further because I've you covered with the ultimate no-bake treat with Edible Cookie Dough!

Who loves cookie dough? My husband is completely obsessed with cookie dough that whenever we make cookies, he is always the one to lay claim to being able to lick the beater clean. Granted, our oldest is usually there right behind him, trying to steal it away, too, lol. So what is it about this simple little dough that tastes so good anyway? Well, I mean hello, the dough does lead to delicious cookies once they are baked, but somehow the uncooked dough always has a place all by its self.

That's why I decided there needed to be just an edible cookie dough around our house for my little cookie dough monsters to enjoy without me worrying about them possibly getting sick. On the plus side, it also left me more dough to make cookies out of, haha.

Is cookie dough safe to eat?

People often associate getting sick from cookie dough from the raw eggs in the batter. There is no worry about that in this edible cookie dough because there are no eggs.

Over the recent years, there have been warnings about getting sick from consuming raw flours to help with this; we are doing a super simple toasting of the flours to make sure that it is safe to eat. Because we don't want to get sick from delicious edible cookies, trust me, you'll want to eat it all.

How to Toast Flour

1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
2. Spread your flours onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake it for 5-8 minutes.
3. Allow it to cool for about 5 minutes before adding it to your cookie dough.

This will help to cook out any potential bacteria issues that may be present in the flours.

• Simply putting it in a bowl and eat it with a spoon is a totally acceptable answer too.

No matter what you do with it, it's totally delicious!

Storing Edible Cookie Dough

Edible cookie dough is best if it's stored in a container in the fridge. It will last about a week in the refrigerator. If you want it to last longer, I suggest making small balls and popping them into a container in the freezer. Of course, these never last long in our house and usually end up in ice cream in the summer, which gets eaten just as fast.
