If you're a cookie dough lover like me, you've probably found yourself sneaking spoonfuls of the raw dough while baking cookies. That moment of bliss is quickly ruined by the worry of consuming raw eggs and the potential for salmonella poisoning. Well, worry no more! This edible cookie dough recipe lets you indulge in your cookie dough cravings without any of the risks. It's egg-free, perfectly safe to eat, and so addictively delicious that you won't be able to stop at just one bite. Let's get started!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Step 1: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
Step 2: Add in the brown sugar and granulated sugar, and beat until well combined and creamy.
Step 3: Beat in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and sweetened condensed milk until a thick, dough-like consistency forms.
Step 5: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, beating on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6: Using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop. This step is crucial as it allows the flour to fully hydrate and develop that perfect cookie dough texture.
Step 8: Once chilled, scoop out portions of the dough using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, and enjoy! The dough can be eaten as-is or used as a dip for graham crackers, pretzels, or fruit.
And that's it! You now have a batch of creamy, egg-free cookie dough that's safe to devour. This dough keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, so you can indulge in scoops of it whenever that cookie dough craving strikes.
A few pro tips: For an extra decadent treat, try mixing in some crushed Oreos, peanut butter chips, or your favorite candy pieces. You can also drizzle the dough with melted chocolate or caramel for an added touch of sweetness.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your mixing bowls and get ready to experience cookie dough nirvana! Just be warned – this edible dough is so deliciously addictive that you may have trouble stopping at just one bite.
