With 10 minutes and minimal ingredients this Cookie Monster Edible Cookie Dough is so easy, fun and delicious. A delish treat you can eat anytime!
One of my fondest memories as a kid was my dad and I always sneaking my moms cookie dough. That isn’t one of my mom’s fondest as she absolutely hated it when we did it.
When she realized that half her cookie dough was missing she would get so upset, then we would get caught sometimes and her swatting our hands away with her spatula.
Oh those memories, its so fun when recipes can bring up memories from your past that are funny and ones that just stick around with you, cookie dough does that for me.
Now that I’m grown, eating cookie dough just as is is completely acceptable to me, I mean they have special store that sell cookie dough alone! So I’m not the only one who agrees.
This Cookie Monster Edible Cookie Dough is super easy, highly addicting and includes minimal work. I love all the monster cookie themed desserts out there so I had to make this one into that.

This Edible Cookie Dough Recipe really can’t get any easier, unless you buy it from the store but those are usually used to bake, and I mean what is the fun in that!
I have seen that some stores are coming out with safe edible cookie dough that you can purchase, now I’m all about that but why pay money when you can make it at home!

We just love cookies, some of our favorite cookies some of our favorites include:

HOW TO HEAT TREAT FLOUR:
This Edible Cookie Dough you will need to heat treat your flour, this ensures that any bacteria in raw flour is cooked out.
You can easily heat treat flour by pre-heating your oven to 350 degrees F. Spread your flour on large cookie sheet and bake in oven for about 7-10 minutes until the flour reaches 160 degrees F.
This temperature is enough to kill off any bacteria that has built in the flour. You can also microwave the flour, checking the temperature every so often. We use an instant read thermometer for checking the temp.
HOW TO STORE:
Cookie Monster Edible Cookie Dough can be stored in an airtight container or zip top bag the refrigerator for about one week.
When refrigerated the cookie dough gets harder so I would let sit at room temperature to soften up before consuming.
This can also be frozen! We separate ours into smaller sized freezer bags this helps give us equal portions and it should stay safe in the freezer for at least a month.
Again, you can defrost this in the refrigerator then move to room temperature or just room temperature to thaw out quicker to consume.
We make this edible cookie dough so often, well we make all kinds of edible cookie dough so often. It is a fun treat that the whole family loves and munches on.
When you have a midnight hankering for something that is so nostalgic what can you do? You go to the refrigerator and grab some cookie dough and go to town!
Cookie dough equals comfort to me, and it’s such an easy recipe to whip up so we like to have some on hand all the time either in the refrigerator or freezer!
