The Best 5-Minute Edible Cookie Dough for One (Midnight Snack!)
We all know the best part of baking cookies is eating the raw dough, right? But when those 2 AM cravings hit, baking a whole batch of cookies is out of the question (and eating raw eggs is a bad idea).
Enter the ultimate midnight fix: 5-Minute Edible Cookie Dough for One! This ridiculously easy, single-serving recipe uses heat-treated flour and zero eggs, making it completely safe to eat straight from the bowl while you binge-watch your favorite shows.
🛒 What You Need (Ingredients)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour: (We will heat-treat this in the microwave!).
- 2 tablespoons softened butter: (Not melted, just soft).
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar & 1 tablespoon white sugar.
- 1 tablespoon milk: (Any kind).
- A splash of vanilla extract & a tiny pinch of salt.
- 2 generous tablespoons of chocolate chips.
👩🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Make the Flour Safe First, we need to kill any bacteria in the raw flour. Put the ¼ cup of flour in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat it on high for 30-45 seconds. Let it cool for a minute.
Step 2: The Sweet Base In your main eating bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mash it together with a spoon until it’s creamy.
Step 3: Combine and Stir Add the heat-treated flour and the tablespoon of milk into your butter mixture. Stir everything together until it forms a perfect, thick cookie dough texture.
Step 4: The Best Part Fold in your chocolate chips. Grab a spoon, head to the couch, and enjoy your ridiculously easy, perfectly safe midnight treat!
