Valentine's Edible Cookie Dough...




Oh my gosh! Who doesn't love raw cookie dough?! 

I don't think we can be true friends if you say no! Ok... Maybe that was just a bit sassy and not true, but really who doesn't love raw cookie dough?!

Edible cookie dough is sooo sweet and delicious. It's like eating the real cookie dough, minus the raw eggs so you can eat this without the worry.




Also... Think about all the endless ways you could eat this edible cookie dough!

For instance... You could put in your cupcakes, brownies, use as a frosting, use as a layer in your ice cream cakes or bars.

What about using it in your cheesecakes, or making homemade cookie dough ice cream, or just simply eating it plain by itself on a pretty spoon?! That's what I'm doing right now, while writing this post.

Sometimes it's nice being an adult. You can eat cookie dough for breakfast, lunch or dinner and no one can tell you, that it's not a good idea! Lol




Ingredients

1 cup light brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups all purpose flour

2 tablespoons milk, more if needed (I used almond milk)

3/4 cup M&M's, more if you want


Instructions

In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, cream together your butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar.

Mix until fluffy and light in color, about 1 minute.

Mix in vanilla extract, salt, milk and flour. I mixed the flour in 1/2 cup at a time.

Stir in your M&M's with a wooden spoon or spatula.

Yields

Approximately 3 cups

Notes

Store the edible cookie dough in the refrigerator up to 4 weeks. Trust me... It won't last that long!

You can also keep in freezer to pull out when needed.

You can also, substitute the M&M's with other candies or sprinkles.



Hope you enjoy this edible cookie dough as much as we do!
