Edible Monster Cookie Dough

Edible cookie dough is popping up all over the internet.

And I don’t hate it.

I am a big cookie dough lover and am constantly looking for ways to make it at home!

While you can easily omit eggs from the dough recipe, I learned that eating raw flour is not good – it can contain E. coli, which can make you super sick. So with flour out, I was totally perplexed about how to make a safe edible cookie dough.

But then I remembered about ROLLED OATS.

You can totally eat oats raw (AKA overnight oats), which makes them the perfect dry component for the dough. And because I love you more than anything (and want you to be safe), I confirmed with the USDA’s Ask Karen hotline (oats are A-OKAY!).

Since oats have a more prominent flavor than regular all-purpose flour, I decided to choose mixin’s that complement their stronger flavor profile.

So I made Edible Monster Cookie Dough.

I loaded up my dough with mini M&Ms, pecans, and chocolate chips – it is all the flavor of Monster Cookies without having to bake them!

This edible cookie dough starts with the wet ingredient base.

Granulated sugar + brown sugar.

And some melted butter. I also added in some skim milk to thin everything out.

Then I added in some homemade oat flour + salt. To make the oat flour, I added a cup and a half of rolled oats that are buzzed up in a food processor/blender until completely fine.

Stir the oat flour into the wet ingredients until just combined.

Then add in all the delicious extras!

Mini M&Ms, chopped pecans, and mini chocolate chips. Stir to complete combine.

And then dig in!

I popped my cookie dough into a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid. The dough lasts for about a week in the fridge (but we all know it won’t last that long!).

Definitely a way to indulge in edible cookie dough without the risk!
