Cooking Instructions
The beauty of edible cookie dough is that it’s incredibly straightforward to make. There’s no baking involved, just a bit of mixing and creating edible magic. We’ll start by creaming our butter and sugar, then move on to incorporating the color and flavor, followed by the dry ingredients, and finally, the delightful mix-ins.
Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugar
First things first, let’s get our base ready. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add your softened unsalted butter. You want the butter to be at room temperature so it creams easily and incorporates air, which will give our dough a lovely texture. If your butter is too cold, it will be difficult to mix and can result in a lumpy dough. Conversely, if it’s too warm and melty, it can make the dough greasy. Aim for that perfect pliable consistency. Now, add your granulated sugar to the bowl. Using an electric mixer (or a sturdy whisk and some elbow grease), beat the butter and sugar together for about 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture is light and fluffy. This process, called creaming, is crucial for developing a smooth and enjoyable texture for your edible cookie dough. Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally to ensure everything is well combined.
Step 2: Introduce the Color and Flavor
Once your butter and sugar mixture is perfectly creamed, it’s time to add the star of the show: the vibrant blue hue! Add the vanilla extract for that classic cookie dough aroma and taste. Then, carefully add the blue food coloring. I recommend starting with ⅛ teaspoon. The amount you need will depend on the type of food coloring you’re using (gel or liquid) and how intense you want your Cookie Monster blue. Add a little at a time, mixing well after each addition, until you achieve your desired shade of blue. Remember, you can always add more, but you can’t take it away! Mix until the color is evenly distributed throughout the creamy mixture.
Step 3: Incorporate the Heat-Treated Flour and Salt
Now, it’s time to add our dry ingredients. To make this cookie dough safe to eat, we need to heat-treat our flour. You can do this by spreading your flour on a baking sheet and baking it at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Alternatively, you can microwave it in short bursts, stirring frequently, until it’s hot and dry. Once your flour is heat-treated and cooled, measure out 1½ cups. Add the flour and ½ teaspoon of salt to the blue butter mixture. Gradually mix on low speed (or with a spatula) until just combined. Be careful not to overmix at this stage, as it can lead to a tough texture. The dough will start to look more like traditional cookie dough now, but with that fantastic blue color.
Step 4: Mix in the Cookies and Chocolate Chips
This is where the real fun begin extracts – adding all the goodies that make this edible cookie dough so irresistible! Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies and crushed Chips Ahoy cookies. You can crush them by hand in a ziploc bag with a rolling pin, or give them a quick pulse in a food processor. Aim for a mix of fine crum extractbs and larger chunks for great texture. Next, stir in the ¼ cup of white chocolate chips. These add a lovely sweetness and a creamy contrast to the other cookie flavors. Distribute them evenly throughout the dough. You should now have a beautifully textured, blue dough studded with cookie pieces and white chocolate.
Step 5: Achieve the Perfect Texture with Milk
The final step is to get our dough to that perfect, scoopable consistency. Add 3 tablespoons of milk to the mixture. Gently mix until it’s incorporated. If the dough seems too dry or crum extractbly, add another tablespoon of milk, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired texture. You want it to be moist enough to hold together when you press it, but not sticky or overly wet. Some people prefer a slightly thicker dough, while others like it a bit softer and more like frosting. Adjust the milk to your preference. Once you’re happy with the consistency, you’ve officially created your Cookie Monster Edible Cookie Dough! You can serve it immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes if you prefer it colder. Enjoy every delicious, cookie-filled bite!
