Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter softened
  • ½ cup sugar more or less to taste
  • 1 cup flour 125 g
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt omit if using salted butter
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk any type
  • 2-3 tbsp sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • Microwave the flour in 20 second intervals until it reaches 165℉ degrees, about 40-60 seconds. Alternatively, you can spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake the flour in a 350 ℉ degree oven or 3-5 minutes. Wisk or sift to remove any lumps and let cool.
  • Using a standing mixer with a beater attachment, or a using a large bowl with a hand-held mixer, cream the butter and sugar for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add in the cooled flour, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon milk. Mix until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Check the consistency, mixing in milk a few teaspoon at a time until you get your desired consistency.
  • Gently fold in an optional add-ins and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure to let the flour cool before adding to the cookie dough or it can melt the butter.  You can also sift to get rid of any lumps. 
  • Regular cookie dough is a little gritty, and so is this edible cookie dough version. But, refrigerating the dough can help improve the texture by softening some of the grittiness. 
  • This recipe makes 4 generous servings, but if you're looking to make edible cookie dough for 1 or for 2, you can easily scale this down. 
  • The dough will last 3-4 in an airtight container in the refrigerator and can be frozen up to two months.
