Directions for Edible Cookie Dough for One

Let’s make this Edible Cookie Dough for One—a Quick Sweet Treat!

Heat-Treat Flour

To ensure safety, I spread ¼ cup all-purpose flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes, then cool completely. Alternatively, I microwave it in a bowl for 1 minute, stirring every 15 seconds, until it reaches 160°F.

Cream the Base

In a small bowl, I combine 2 tbsp softened unsalted butter, 2 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tbsp granulated sugar. I mix with a spoon until light and creamy, about 1 minute.

Add Wet Ingredients

I stir in ⅛ tsp vanilla extract and 1 tbsp milk until fully combined.

Form the Dough

I add the heat-treated flour and a pinch of salt, stirring until a smooth dough forms.

Mix in Chocolate Chips

I fold in 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips for that classic Quick Sweet Treat flavor.

Serve

I enjoy the Edible Cookie Dough for One immediately for a soft texture or chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes for a firmer consistency.
