There’s nothing more fun than eating a spoonful of cookie dough. Now, with this edible sugar cookie dough, you can have as much as you want without any worries! 

Being able to eat raw cookie dough safely is pretty high on my list of needs when it comes to dessert. Sugar cookies are one of my favorite cookies. While the super soft ones with frosting are nice, my favorite ones are the chewier sugar cookies, which is what I use as the base for this particular recipe. 

It is the perfect base for adding in any of your favorite mix-ins, but just a few sprinkles are great, too! 

Sugar Cookie Dough Mix-ins

Here are some great mix-ins for your edible cookie dough. 

• white chocolate chips
• golden Oreos
• ground cinnamon
• chai spices
• crushed peppermint for the holidays
• caramel or toffee bits

You can also use brown butter for a deliciously nutty flavor. 

Is it Safe to Eat Raw Sugar Cookie Dough?

Normally, you cannot eat raw sugar cookie dough, but this edible version was made specifically to be eaten raw. We do two main things to make this sugar cookie dough edible. 

1. We eliminate the egg. Raw eggs are a huge factor as to why you shouldn’t be eating unbaked sugar cookie cookies. By taking them out and using something like cream to replace the egg, you get the same nice texture without the risk. 
2. We heat treat the flour. Believe it or not, but you can potentially get sick from eating raw flour. By heating the flour through, you eliminate the risk of getting sick from eating raw flour. 

If you do both things, you can rest assured that it is perfectly safe to eat this edible sugar cookie dough. 

So What Ingredients DO Go Into This Recipe?

We use all the primary ingredients (minus the egg, of course), that you would use to make a regular baked sugar cookie. We also take out any rising agents like baking powder simply because we don’t need them. The ingredients are as follows:

• Butter
• Sugar
• Flour
• Salt
• Vanilla
• Cream or milk

How to Store

Always keep your dough in an airtight container. I usually put mine in an airtight freezer bag, but any airtight container will work, 

• At room temperature, it will last up to 8 hours.
• In the refrigerator, it should last up to 1 week.
• In the freezer, it will last up to 1 month.
