    Who here thinks licking the bowl/spoon/beaters is the best part about baking? 🙋‍♀️

    I have licked cake batter off the spatula at snacked on bites of cookie dough for as long as I can remember, without giving much of a thought to food safety. And while the chances are getting sick from eating raw batter or dough that contains eggs and flour is probably slim, the reality is that the chance is there.

    Since I've started taking a medication that increases my chances of getting an infection (including a food borne illness), and I've gotten lab confirmed food poisoning twice over the past few years (though never from food that's come out of my own kitchen.

    I've become much more careful about food safety, including eating raw dough and batter when I'm baking, even though it makes me cry a little bit inside. That's why I had to come up with a recipe for Edible Cookie Dough that tastes like everyone's favorite raw treat, but is completely safe to eat.

    What makes raw cookie dough unsafe?

    Simply eliminating eggs from your favorite cookie dough recipe isn't quite enough to make it safe. Most people know that it's possible to get sick from eating raw eggs (they can carry salmonella bacteria), but did you know that you can get sick from eating raw flour too?

    It's possible that flour can be contaminated with e. Coli from the soil, so flour always needs to be cooked before eating it. And it is possible to make it safe by toasting it in a pan or heating it in the microwave, then using the heat treated flour to make "raw" cookie dough, but I decided to use oat flour to increase the fiber content and make them gluten free.

    This recipe makes a very small batch - just enough for two servings. If you need more, simply double the recipe.

    Edible Cookie Dough Nutrition Notes:

    No matter what healthier ingredients go into making it, cookie dough isn't exactly a healthy choice. While this does have more fiber than cookie dough made with white flour, because of the oats, it's still high in calories, fat, and sugar. Consider it a delicious treat and eat it in moderation.

      I didn’t have enough butter so I added a table spoon of coconut oil. I also melted the chocolate chips in the microwave. Good recipe, I just wish it was a little bit less sugary. Will change for next time.

      Made this today. WAY TOO SWEET! Would be better with maybe half the sugar as we couldn't eat it.
