So, if you’re ever tempted to taste-test the cookie dough before you bake it, this easy recipe for edible cookie dough is for you.This recipe has no baking soda, no eggs and heat treated flour!

How to Pasteurize Flour

To make the flour safe to eat you can pasteurize it by baking it on a cookie sheet for 5 minutes at 350°F. Read my post about how to pasteurize flour here.

The process is just like making regular cookie dough that you bake. Cream the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
Mix in the salt, vanilla, and milk.
Once the mixture is smooth, add the flour and then mix in your add-ins.
To serve it, you can scoop it like ice cream and serve it in bowls. Or, serve it in one bowl as a dip.
