This edible brownie cookie dough is a safe-to-eat, no-bake treat combining rich cocoa flavor with the satisfying texture of cookie dough. Perfect for snacking or as a dessert topping, it features heat-treated flour to make it safe for raw consumption and a mix of sweet brown and granulated sugars for balanced sweetness.

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 it at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to kill any potential bacteria. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely to room temperature before using.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Then, add cocoa powder, milk, vanilla extract, salt, and the cooled heat-treated flour. Stir all ingredients together until you achieve a smooth, cohesive dough.
  3. Add Mix-Ins: Fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped walnuts gently to distribute them evenly throughout the dough. Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly, making it easier to handle and enhancing the flavors.
  4. Serve: Enjoy the edible brownie cookie dough immediately as a delicious snack or dessert. Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Heat-treating the flour is essential to make this dough safe to eat raw.
  • Chilling the dough helps it firm up but you can eat it right away if preferred.
  • Walnuts are optional; for a nut-free version, omit them or substitute with other mix-ins like more chocolate chips.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to one week.
  • This recipe is a fun alternative to traditional brownies and safe for those avoiding raw eggs.
