Safe To Eat Edible Cookie Dough

This Edible Gingerbread Cookie Dough hits the spot without feeling guilty for eating actual raw cookie dough! The heat-treated flour allows this dessert to be completely safe to eat until your stomachs are totally satisfied!

I’m a firm believer in holiday dessert tables having a variety of flavors! Specifically, peanut butter (Peanut Butter Buckeye Balls), peppermint (Peppermint Brownie Mix Cookies), cranberry (Cranberry Cheesecake Bars), and course, gingerbread!

However, even with all those options, this Edible Gingerbread Cookie Dough WILL be the first to disappear! People can barely deny themselves real cookie dough, but tell them it’s safe and there will be ZERO leftovers!

Not to worry though! Since it’s made with pantry ingredients in only 5 minutes you can just whip up more when you get home!

Ingredients For Edible Gingerbread Cookie Dough

If you’re into holiday baking then chances are you’ll already have the majority of the ingredients needed for this Edible Gingerbread Cookie Dough Recipe! To start you’ll need all-purpose flour.

This ingredient alone will go through a simple heat-treating process in the oven. Heat-treating the flour means the flour gets heated to a high enough temperature to kill off all the bad bacteria.

This makes the flour safe to consume in no-bake recipes such as this one! Raw flour and eggs are the big reasons why eating raw cookie dough is a bit of a no-no!

While the flour cools completely you’ll cream together salted butter, light brown sugar, molasses, heavy cream, and vanilla. Then you’ll incorporate the flour and spices such as ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cloves.

Once the edible cookie dough is ready, you can add in some mix-ins! We like white chocolate chips and fun sprinkles in ours!

How To Make Edible Gingerbread Cookie Dough

1. Spread the flour onto a baking sheet and bake. Then allow the flour to cool before continuing.
2. Combine the butter, sugar, molasses, cream, and vanilla in a large bowl. Cream the ingredients until they become smooth.
3. Stir in the cooled flour and spices until completely combined.
4. Fold in any desired mix-ins and enjoy!
