Recipe FAQs
What is the difference between cookie dough and edible cookie dough?
The two recipes are incredibly similar, and the process for creaming the ingredients together and then adding in the flour and chocolate chips is the same. However, the significant difference is that edible cookie dough has no eggs and uses heat-treated flour to avoid any bacteria in the recipe, making it safe to eat without first cooking the dough as you would for a standard cookie dough recipe.
Why do you have to bake flour for edible cookie dough?
Straight from the bag, flour can contain bacteria unsafe for consumption if not baked. The bacteria are typically killed when flour is baked in the oven within any given recipe. Because edible cookie dough is a no-bake recipe, it is necessary to first cook the flour for ten minutes at 350 degrees F to ensure the bacteria is killed before adding the flour to the dough for consumption.
Can edible cookie dough be cooked?
While you can shape the dough into balls and then bake to make cookies, they will not turn out as nice as regular cookies. This is because this recipe has no leavening agent or eggs, so they will not bake as well. If you want a great-tasting cookie, I recommend my Bread Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies.
