Easy Edible Cookie Dough Recipe- Like Mother Like Daughter (2024)

FAQs

Why can't you bake edible cookie dough? ›

We do not recommend baking our Bite-Sized Edible Cookie Dough [flavor/products]. It does not contain eggs or leavening agents, which are key ingredients in developing texture and lift in baked cookies. (If needed) Exposure to high oven temperatures will cause the product to liquefy and possibly burn.

Cookie dough is an uncooked blend of cookie ingredients. While cookie dough is normally intended to be baked into individual cookies before eating, edible cookie dough is made to be eaten as is, and usually is made without eggs to make it safer for human consumption.

Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature. Then, using a hand mixer or a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars together for 30-60 seconds. The milk replaces the eggs in this edible cookie dough recipe. I recommend starting by using 3 tablespoons of milk.

Not all cookie dough is safe to eat before baking it. Both the flour and the egg ingredients should be cooked for food safety reasons. What makes Pillsbury's refrigerated cookie and brownie doughs ready to eat raw? We use heat treated flour and pasteurized eggs so you can now safely enjoy our cookie dough baked or raw.

Although the risks are generally low, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises to resist the temptation of eating raw cookie dough to prevent illness. This year, 26 people fell ill due to a salmonella outbreak that left four hospitalized. Why do Americans love ice water so much?

When & Why Do You Need to Heat Treat Flour? Raw flour can contain bacteria like e. coli or salmonella so it's important to always heat your flour to a temperature of 160F before eating. (This is what makes eating edible cookie dough safe!)

Some may say that raw cookie dough is better than the baked cookie itself. However, raw cookie dough eaters are taking a risk with foodborne illness. Most know that eating cookie dough with raw eggs runs the risk of contracting Salmonella. But this isn't the only ingredient that deems it risky behavior.

Milk: In place of eggs, milk helps to make the cookie dough "chewy."

Using a 1/4 cup of milk or yogurt in place of eggs is perfect for baked goods where moisture is key, such as cakes or muffins. (Vegans can use plant-based milks or yogurt in its place.

Mayonnaise. If you have a jar of mayo in the fridge, you can use 3 tablespoons in place of one egg. "Mayonnaise has been used as an egg substitute because of its moistening properties and is best suited for cakes with strong flavors, like spice cakes and chocolate cakes," Tutunjian says.

Can you eat raw crescent roll dough? ›

Entire product must be baked once opened. Do not eat raw crescent roll dough. Keep dough refrigerated. Start: Peel in direction of arrow fully around the can.

We are in the process of transitioning all flavours (see below) of our refrigerated cookie dough to "safe to eat raw."

Ingredients. Enriched Flour Bleached (wheat flour, niacin, iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), Sugar, Chocolate Chips (sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, soy lecithin, natural flavor), Palm Oil, Water, Canola Oil.

It is best to steer clear of raw cookie dough due to the potential contamination of disease-causing bacteria in raw flour. If you love indulging in cookie dough, look for brands that state they are safe to eat raw. You can also make your own edible cookie dough at home with commercial heat-treated flour.

To avoid this, try using as little flour as possible while preparing to roll your dough. Dry – “Dry” or “Crumbly” dough is a product of over-mixing or using too much of any ingredient during the mixing process. This can be reversed by adding one to two tablespoons of liquid (water, milk or softened butter) to your mix.

I like that you can take a few chunks of dough and cook whatever size cookies you want, then put the rest back in the fridge for another time, although my daughter loves eating it straight from the fridge before it's even cooked!

The key is to use an edible cookie dough recipe that does not have eggs and does heat-treat the flour before making the dough. Both of these steps will eliminate the majority of the risk for foodborne illness.
