Expert Tips for Success

• You can use a hand mixer to blend up the butter and sugar. If not use a whisk and make sure to mix well. The electric mixer will help speed up the process and give your mixture that light color that is ultra fluffy.
• Pre-cooking the flour is a must, as flour contains dangerous bacteria that can make you sick if you eat it raw. So baking the flour first ensures this is an edible cookie dough recipe.
• This is not a regular cookie dough where you bake the dough for actual cookies. This is a sweet treat you eat uncooked.
• Add in some white chocolate chips to sweeten it up even more.
• Break up candies and stir in the dough instead of sprinkles.
• Try out any type of different mix-ins to create a twist to your usual cookies. Peanut butter, chocolate chips, and so much more can be added.
• Make small balls of sugar cookie dough and place on ice cream to elevate the dough even more.

Storing Leftovers

Refrigerate: Store this dough in an airtight container in the fridge. It will store for up to a week in the fridge. This is a fun treat that you can go take a scoop or two out of it when you get a craving for sweet.

Freezing: You can also freeze this dough. Place the cookie dough in a freezer-safe container or wrap in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag. Freeze for 2-3 months. When you are ready to eat thaw in the fridge overnight.

One thing we like to do when freezing and make cookie dough balls, that way if we don’t want to thaw it all out we can grab just what we want.
