Edible Cookie Dough

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350F.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread flour in an even layer over the parchment paper.

Step 2

Bake on 350F (175C) oven for 5-7 minutes²

Step 3

Allow flour to cool, then run it through a sifter to break up any clumps that may have formed while baking.  Set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl (preferably a stand mixer), combine softened butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Use an electric mixer to cream together until very creamy and very well-combined, 1-3 minutes.

Step 5

Gradually add cooled, sifted flour, stirring until completely combined. If dough is too stiff after thoroughly stirring, add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

Step 6

Stir in chocolate chips (and any additional add-ins you might like!)

Step 7

Best enjoyed immediately after preparing, but you may store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Cookie dough will firm up some in the refrigerator, so for best enjoyment let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before enjoying leftovers.
