Edible Cookie Dough

I have a slight serious addiction to cookie dough. As a teenager my grandma would buy those giant tubs of chocolate chip cookie dough from Sam’s and instead of making cookies, I’d just grab a spoon and dig in.

It was my guilty pleasure (and still is) even with the possibility of salmonella. But why risk it when you can make edible cookie dough?!

How do you make cookie dough safe to eat?

Who knew it was so easy to even make edible cookie dough? Obviously, it’s the raw eggs that do you in with regular cookie dough, but by adding some extra butter you get the best edible cookie dough recipe.

Yup, you just need to use 2 sticks of butter and keep the eggs out. What you have left is a cookie dough recipe that is safe to eat.

Definitely not the healthiest thing in the world…but safe to eat anyways.

How to Make Cookie Dough Cups

Then to take things a step a further, you dip transform your edible cookie dough into chocolate chip cookie dough cups by using some melting chocolates. Super simple and no bake! Win-win!

Melting chocolates are perfect for this. They have a perfect consistency and harden up pretty quickly in the refrigerator.

Cookie Dough Cup Recipe Ideas

I personally adore edible chocolate chip cookie dough inside milk chocolate cups. To me, these are perfect. But it’s fun to try new things, so here are some fun recipe variations you can try.

White Chocolate Cups

Instead of using chocolate chips and milk chocolate for the cups, use almond bark to coat the cookie dough. If you really love sweet things, you’ll enjoy how sweet the white chocolate makes the cookie cups.

Salted Caramel Drizzle

Instead of drizzling chocolate on top of the cookie cups, use a caramel sauce and sprinkle with sea salt. The salt will enhance the flavor of the entire cookie cup.

Butterscotch Chips Cookie Dough

Instead of using milk chocolate chips in the cookie dough, use butterscotch chips. This tiny change will create an entirely different flavor profile.
