Ingredients You’ll Need for Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Recipe
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 grams)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark)

- ½ cup chocolate chips
As Tía always says, freshness matters. If you can, use fresh ingredients, especially the butter. It adds richness and balances the flavors beautifully.
Step-by-Step: How to Cook Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Recipe
- Start by preparing your flour. You can microwave it in 20-second intervals until it reaches 165℉ degrees. This step is crucial to ensure it’s safe to eat. It usually takes about 40 to 60 seconds. Alternatively, spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350 ℉ for 3 to 5 minutes. Sift or whisk the flour to remove lumps and let it cool.
- In a mixing bowl, using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium speed. You want this mixture to become light and fluffy, which should take about 2 minutes.
- Add the cooled flour, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired dough consistency. It should be thick but still scoopable.
- Finally, gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or a wooden spoon. It’s that simple! When the chocolate chips are evenly distributed, taste a little it’s one of those moments where you realize just how delicious homemade is.
- Enjoy your dough straight from the bowl or chill it in the fridge if you prefer a firmer texture!
When you smell that sweet fusion of butter and vanilla, you’re almost there happiness is just a scoop away.
How to Serve Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Recipe for Family and Friends
Gather your family around and present this dough in a decorative bowl or even on a colorful platter. Place it in the center of the table, alongside some pretzels or fresh fruits for a delightful contrast. Everyone loves dipping, and having a selection of items to pair with the cookie dough adds an element of fun.
Imagine Sunday lunch with all the familiar faces grandma telling stories while the kids giggle with chocolate-smeared faces. Each bite of this dough brings joyful memories flooding back. Make sure to have some cold milk or whipped cream to serve alongside. It elevates each scoop, creating a delicious moment of togetherness.
Keeping Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Recipe Fresh for Later
If you happen to have any leftover dough (though I doubt you will), you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. It tastes even better the next day, just like most family stories that improve with time!
For a longer-lasting option, scoop the dough into balls and freeze them, placing them on a baking sheet first to firm up. Once frozen, transfer them into a zip-lock bag for simple future snacking. When ready to enjoy, let them thaw slightly, and dig in.
Tía always says that a recipe is like a family memory. It gets sweeter with each passing moment.
Tía Maribel’s Flavor Secrets
- Use brown sugar: Brown sugar enhances the richness of the flavor. If you have light and dark options, mix them for a delightful depth.
- Softened butter: Make sure your butter is soft enough to cream nicely with the sugars. This creates air pockets, giving the dough a lighter texture.
- Adjust the milk: Add milk gradually until you get that perfect dough consistency. If you prefer a firmer texture, add less milk.
- Chill for flavor: Let the dough chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend beautifully.
- Extra chocolate: Feel free to add some peanut butter chips or white chocolate chips alongside the dark ones for extra oomph!
Make It Your Own: Fun Twists on Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Recipe

- Seasonal treats: For the holidays, swap the chocolate chips for festive sprinkles or peppermint pieces for a seasonal spin.
