Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugars together with an electric mixer, either a hand mixer or a stand mixer, until well-combined, and then mix in the vanilla.

Step 3: Add the flour and salt, and stir in. The dough will be a little crumbly. Mix in enough milk or cream to get the desired cookie dough consistency.

Recipe Tips!

Leavening agents: Since this recipe is just for cookie dough and not for baked cookies, there are no leavening agents in the recipe. If you find that you would prefer to add some for taste, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the cookie dough.
Mix-ins: The cookie dough could be made in a number of different flavors. Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins like chopped nuts, M&M’s, or sprinkles.

Recipe FAQs

What makes this cookie dough safe to eat?

There are two things that make regular cookie dough unsafe to eat. First, the raw eggs, and second, the raw flour. The uncooked flour and raw eggs could carry harmful bacteria like salmonella or e. coli. This recipe omits the eggs and uses cooked flour to make the recipe safe to eat.

Can I bake this cookie dough?

I don’t recommend baking this cookie dough because it is missing key ingredients like a leavening agent and lacks eggs.

Storage

Any leftover cookie dough should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I like to press a piece of plastic wrap to the surface of the cookie dough to help keep it fresh.

The cookie dough will keep covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. It sets up quite a bit once it has been chilled, so you may need to set it out to come up in temperature before scooping and serving.
