This Edible Brownie Cookie Dough recipe offers a safe-to-eat, decadent treat combining the rich flavors of brownie and cookie dough in one. Perfectly soft and chocolaty with bursts of mini chocolate chips and optional walnuts, this no-bake dough is easy to make and delicious to enjoy on its own or as a topping.

Ingredients

Dough:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • ¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat-Treat the Flour: Spread the all-purpose flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to kill any harmful bacteria. Remove and let the flour cool completely before using to ensure the dough is safe to eat.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light. Then add the cocoa powder, milk, vanilla extract, salt, and the heat-treated flour. Stir all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and uniform dough.
  3. Add Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using) into the dough until they are evenly distributed. Place the dough in the refrigerator and chill for 15 to 20 minutes to firm up slightly and blend the flavors.
  4. Serve: Enjoy the edible brownie cookie dough immediately as a safe, delicious treat or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. This dough can be eaten as is, used as a topping, or incorporated into desserts.

Notes

  • Heat-treating the flour is essential to make the dough safe for raw consumption by eliminating harmful bacteria.
  • Softened butter helps to cream the sugars properly, contributing to the dough’s texture.
  • Chilling the dough firms it up, making it easier to scoop and eat.
  • Walnuts are optional; feel free to omit or substitute with other nuts or add-ins like sprinkles or different types of chocolate chips.
  • Store leftover dough refrigerated and consume within a week for best freshness.
