Edible Cookie Dough

Hi Everyone, this is what we all need right now, Edible Cookie Dough.

I made this recipe with my daughter and the whole family loves it.

There is nothing like having a batch of this edible cookie dough in your fridge and being able to reach into grab a dough ball - what a sweet treat!

This recipe comes together easily and can be done all in one bowl!

I use an OXO Cookie scoop to make bite-size dough balls which make this edible cookie dough easier to snack on.

These would be great dipped in chocolate.

Trying this Edible Cookie Dough out as a cookie dough truffle is on my list of recipes to make.

Notes

• Recipe Attribution: This recipe is inspired by Preppy Kitchen's, "Edible Cookie Dough" recipe. The original recipe, suggests substituting half the flour for a toasted almond meal for more protein.
• Storage: This edible cookie dough will store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
• Our Tutorial on our blog to make Vanilla Extract: How to Make Homemade Vanilla Extract
• To Make This Edible Sugar Cookie Dough: You can make this into edible sugar cookie dough by substituting 1 cup of granulated white sugar instead of the dark brown sugar and omitting the chocolate chips.
