Funfetti Edible Cookie Dough

Super delicious edible cookie dough filled with sprinkles and white chocolate chips. Made without eggs and using heat-treated flour means this cookie dough is safe to eat.

I’m a massive cookie fan! But if I’m totally honest, one of my favourite parts about making cookies is devouring the cookie dough. However, cookie dough before baking contains raw egg and the flour is not heat-treated. This means it’s not safe to consume, without risk.

July is my birthday month and this Funfetti Edible Cookie Dough is my birthday recipe to celebrate turning 30 years old this month! I cannot believe I’m celebrating this milestone birthday, and I am grateful for so much.

The cookie dough is sweet, jam-packed with crunchy colourful sprinkles and creamy white chocolate chips. I’ve also added some crushed Party Rings – these are a British biscuit and they are really yummy. I love the crunch they add!

I can’t think of a more delicious recipe to celebrate my birthday!

So, what do we need to prepare this cookie dough?

Ingredients To Make Funfetti Edible Cookie Dough

Heat Treated Flour – For edible cookie dough it’s advisable to use heat-treated flour. Bake the plain flour for 7 minutes, then leave to cool completely.

Softened Butter – I use salted butter that’s softened to room temperature. Soft butter will help you easily mix together the butter and sugar, creating a light and fluffy texture.

Sugar – We’re combining both brown and caster sugar in this cookie dough. The brown sugar especially brings gorgeous caramel flavour.

Milk – Adding milk to the cookie dough softens it slightly.

Vanilla Extract – Vanilla adds amazing flavour. You can swap it for any other flavoured extract you desire. For example, almond = birthday cake flavour cookie dough!

Sprinkles – I use colourful pastel sprinkles. They add crunch and sweetness to the cookie dough.

White Chocolate Chips – Love adding creamy white chocolate chips. You can substitute with dark or milk chocolate chips. The cookie dough is very easily customised!

We found this edible cookie dough addictive! I couldn’t stop at one bite, I kept going back for more and more…

Dig in and eat it straight from the bowl with a spoon, roll balls of cookie dough and top ice cream, sit them atop a cake/batch of cupcakes, or coat in melted chocolate to make homemade cookie dough truffles.

Ingredients

  • 190 g plain flour
  • 120 g butter (salted or unsalted) softened
  • 135 g light or dark brown sugar
  • 50 g caster sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk add more to adjust cookie dough consistency
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 50 g funfetti sprinkles
  • 50 g white chocolate chips
  • Party Rings Biscuits broken into small pieces - add as many as you desire, I used 3-4 mini sized packs

Instructions

  • Start by heat treating the flour. Preheat oven to 180ºC / 160ºC Fan / 350ºF / Gas Mark 4. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and spread the flour out over the tray in an even layer. Bake the flour for 7 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
  • Once the flour is cool, you can start making the cookie dough. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with both types of sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Now add the milk and vanilla extract and mix again until combined fully. Add the heat treated flour and stir until a cookie dough is formed. If the dough is too crumbly, add an extra drop of milk.
  • Finally, fold through the sprinkles, white chocolate chips and any other additional add-ins you desire. Cover the bowl of cookie dough and chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. You can eat the cookie dough straight away, but chilling makes the cookie dough a thicker, scoop-able consistency.
  • The cookie dough will keep for up to one week stored in the fridge. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.

Mummy Cookie Dough Truffles

Mummy Cookie Dough Truffles make a spook-tacular Halloween treat!

October has arrived, spooky season is here, and that means Halloween is very close now. I have a scarily good recipe ready for Halloween gatherings/parties, or just for celebrating Halloween.

I love creating/making Halloween recipes. For me, there’s nothing more fun than getting my food blogging props out and styling a Halloween-themed scene. I also have a few Halloween recipes already on my site and look forward to sharing at least one or two each year.

Some of my other Halloween bakes include Halloween Chocolate BarkGhost Cupcakes, and an autumn favourite: Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting.

This new truffle recipe is made using edible cookie dough. When making homemade cookies, I’m always tempted to eat raw cookie dough, but as cookie dough contains raw egg and flour, it’s not suitable to consume until baked. However, this cookie dough doesn’t have raw egg in it.

To make the edible cookie dough, you need to heat treat flour. Heat treating flour makes cookie dough safe to eat by killing off any harmful bacteria. Follow my easy instructions listed in the recipe below, and you’ll be well on your way to perfectly safe edible cookie dough, ready to eat in no time!

I saw the idea of these truffles and couldn’t resist making some of my own. I love just how effective the simple and easy decoration is. The cookie dough is coated in melted white chocolate, then excess melted chocolate is drizzled over the truffles to make ‘bandages’, and finally a a couple of edible eyes are placed on each truffle.

I’m based in the UK and used a pack of edible eyes from the brand Cake Décor. Easily found in any major supermarket or baking/craft shop.

With the October school holidays approaching too, these will be a great project idea for parents or grandparents to do to keep the kids busy.

Cute or scary – you decide!

Ingredients

Edible Cookie Dough

  • 100 g butter (salted or unsalted) softened
  • 50 g dark or light brown sugar
  • 30 g caster sugar
  • 175 g plain flour
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 100 g dark, milk or white chocolate chips

White Chocolate Coating/Decoration

  • 300 g white chocolate
  • 30 edible eyes I use the brand Cake Décor

Instructions

  • Start by heat treating the plain flour. Preheat the oven to 160°C (also use the same temperature for fan-assisted ovens) / 320°F / Gas Mark 2. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Spread the plain flour out over the tray in an even layer. Bake the flour for 5-10 minutes - I baked my flour for 7 minutes. Allow the flour to cool completely before continuing with the recipe. The flour should take about 30 minutes to cool. 
  • Now take a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream the butter and both types of sugar together until light and fluffy - this should take about a minute or two. Add the flour to the mix along with the milk and mix until a dough forms. Finally, fold through the chocolate chips.
  • Take roughly 30g portions of the cookie dough, roll into even balls and place on a lined baking tray. Pop the cookie dough balls in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  • Melt the white chocolate in either the microwave in a bowl/jug or in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water (bain-marie). Take each cookie dough ball and carefully, using a fork, roll around in the white chocolate until fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
  • Pop the truffles back in the freezer for 5 minutes, then drizzle the remaining white chocolate over the top of each truffle to create 'bandages'. Finish by placing two edible eyes on top of each truffle. Allow the truffles to finish setting in either the fridge or freezer before serving.
  • The truffles will keep stored in the fridge in an airtight container/covered plate for up to one week.
