This Edible Brownie Cookie Dough is a safe-to-eat, no-bake treat that combines the rich flavors of cocoa and chocolate chips with a buttery, sweet dough base. Perfect for snacking straight from the bowl or as a fun dessert topping, this recipe features heat-treated flour to ensure safety and a delectable mix of textures from soft dough, mini chocolate chips, and optional walnuts.

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: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the all-purpose flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to kill any potential bacteria. Remove from the oven and allow the flour to cool completely before using it in the dough.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes fluffy and well combined. Then, add the cocoa powder, milk, vanilla extract, salt, and the cooled heat-treated flour. Stir thoroughly until the dough is smooth and evenly mixed.
  3. Add Mix-Ins: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using) into the dough to distribute them evenly throughout. Once combined, chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes to help it firm up before serving.
  4. Serve: Enjoy the edible brownie cookie dough immediately as a delightful snack or dessert. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep fresh.
