Cookie Dough Bites
Is there anything in the world that’s better than cookie dough? It is definitely one of my favorite foods but words out that regular cookie dough is not safe to eat for a number of reasons.
We’ve all heard of the possibility of salmonella in raw eggs but more recently there have been e. coli scares in raw flour. Yikes. I remember getting recalls in some of the flour I purchased just last year because of that possibility.
I’m not going to lie though, I’m still dumb and live on the edge and eat (small amounts) of raw cookie dough (which obviously I don’t recommend) but when I want to eat a lot, and when I want to serve it at a party or to my kids then I’m all about this edible cookie dough!
Yes baking the flour first adds more time but it heats it to that temperature past 160 degrees where e. coli couldn’t survive. All this bacteria talk though is such a drag.
Ingredients Needed for This Recipe
- All-purpose flour
- Unsalted butter
- Light brown sugar and granulated sugr
- Salt
- Half and half
- Vanilla
- Chocolate chips
How to Make Cookie Dough Bites
- Heat treat flour in oven.
- Cream butte, sugars and salt.
- Stir in half and half and vanilla
- Mix in flour.
- Mix in chocolate chips.
- Roll into balls.
Let’s talk more about these delicacies! They taste just like cookie dough but instead of egg they have half and half (or cream).
So they are rich and oh so irresistible. And of course they have plenty of chocolate chips because that’s a main highlight of cookie dough. I like to add two kinds but use what you have.
You could even add in a pinch or two of baking soda if you like that added flavor.
Or Just Eat the Cookie Dough
And if you don’t have the patience, skip rolling them into balls and eat the dough straight from the bowl by the spoonful!
Once you try them you’ll be hooked. I’ve made these 3 times in the last month and I’m not stopping!
My kids even found my hidden stash in the freezer and have been eating them frozen. My one daughter said she thaws them under water (lol, gross). I told you though, no one can resist.
