What does edible cookie dough contain? ›

Edible Cookie Dough Ingredients

Flour: Raw all-purpose flour can cause foodborne illness, so you'll have to heat-treat it before adding it to the dough. Find heat-treating instructions in Step 1 of the recipe. Brown sugar: Brown sugar lends a sweet, warm flavor. Butter: Beat the brown sugar with a stick of butter.

We do not recommend baking our Bite-Sized Edible Cookie Dough [flavor/products]. It does not contain eggs or leavening agents, which are key ingredients in developing texture and lift in baked cookies. (If needed) Exposure to high oven temperatures will cause the product to liquefy and possibly burn.

Place the flour in a bowl and microwave on high for 25-30 seconds at a time, stirring well between each interval to make sure it doesn't burn. This should take 60-90 seconds in total. If possible, use an instant-read thermometer to make sure it has reached 165°F/74°C throughout. Let flour cool completely before using.

Too Much Liquid

If there is too much liquid in the dough for the flour to absorb, the result will be a soft and sticky dough. Fluids refer to water or milk used in the recipe, as well as liquid sweeteners, flavorings and eggs or egg substitutes.

As mentioned above, when using commercially processed heat-treated products, ready-to-eat ingredients and safely handling the product at home, ready-to-eat cookie dough bites can be made safely.

Another great thing about edible cookie dough is that there is so much room for creativity and fun as you get to create different flavors of edible cookie dough and combine it with ice cream and other sweet treats. It is truly the ultimate sweet treat and it is very safe to eat.

What many people don't know, however, is that raw eggs are not the only threat in raw cookie dough. Raw flour can contain bacteria like E.coli, which is not something to mess around with! Heat treating the flour beforehand kills off any bacteria without hurting any of the flavor, and it only takes a few minutes to do.

It's not easy to resist the temptation to taste that raw cookie dough. But that's not a safe thing to do. Raw cookie dough contains uncooked flour and eggs. These have the potential to cause food poisoning and bacterial infections like salmonella.

Store your uneaten edible cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or in the freezer for up to six months.

Cookie dough contains raw eggs

Eggs are commonly contaminated with Salmonella bacteria ( 1 ). Salmonella infection is characterized by fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramping beginning about 12 hours after consuming the contaminated food, and typically lasts up to 7 days ( 1 ).

Why is my edible cookie dough oily? ›

Is it normal to see some oil around the top of the dough? Sometimes our dough gets warm while on display at an outdoor market on a hot day, or while being shipped. When it gets warm, it's totally normal to have a small amout of oil separation inside the jar. The dough is still safe to enjoy!

Milk: In place of eggs, milk helps to make the cookie dough "chewy."

Cookie dough is an uncooked blend of cookie ingredients. While cookie dough is normally intended to be baked into individual cookies before eating, edible cookie dough is made to be eaten as is, and usually is made without eggs to make it safer for human consumption.
