It's common knowledge that eating raw eggs can make you sick. But what many people don't realize is that raw cookie dough can cause food poisoning from the raw flour too.

The processing used to make flour will not kill any germs that may be present on the wheat. That's why the Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends heating regular wheat flour to 160°F before consuming.

Instructions

This eggless cookie dough recipe makes a delicious single serving cookie dough in about five minutes. All you do is measure the ingredients, microwave the flour, then stir everything together!

Before starting, you'll want to heat the flour in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds. It should reach a temperature of at least 160°F to kill off any bacteria that may be present.

Variations

You can customize the recipe to your liking with add-ins or changing up the chocolate chips. For a plain dough, the chips can be left out.

Here's our favorite ways to vary the flavor:

1. Nut Lovers - Add some chopped nuts. Walnuts or pecans taste great.
2. Oatmeal - Sub out a little bit of the flour with instant oatmeal. Chocolate chip cookie dough overnight oats are a great option!
3. Peanut Butter - Swap some of the butter for peanut butter and use peanut butter chips.
4. Butterscotch - Use butterscotch chips.
5. White Chocolate Macadamia - Add chopped macadamia and use white chocolate chips.
6. Lower the Sugar - Low sugar cookie dough is a great way to make it healthier.

Tips

• Chill the cookie dough before serving. This allows the butter to harden up so you have a stiffer cookie dough. You can either place it in the freezer for a few minutes or the refrigerator for a half hour to firm it up.
• Cook the flour before using because it may not be safe to eat it raw. Heating to 160°F will kill any germs that could cause food poisoning per the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Serving suggestions

The easiest way to eat this single serving cookie dough is with a spoon. But that isn't the only way!

Make a cookie sandwich by spreading the dough between two vanilla wafers. Or try making truffle candies by dipping small balls of the dough in chocolate.

You can also place cubes into vanilla ice cream or use it as a sweet dip.

Storage

Homemade edible cookie dough can be stored safely in the refrigerator for up to 14 days. However, it's best to consume it within a week.

For longer storage, the dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. Just thaw it first in the refrigerator before serving.
