Love it! I’ve been trying to find a recipe For this… thank you! I have followed some of your other recipes and they are amazing! This is great and easy to make! Love it! Thank you
Thank you so much!!
I made this and it was so good! Dangerously good! I cannot get enough of this site, as well as the YouTube channel!
Love your tutorials. I am going to make your chocolate cake today. Just one question… where did you get the flour softer with handles? I have looked everywhere for it and I can’t find one with the handles. Really like that it sits on top of the bowls so nicely.
Think it’s on the shop page!
Would you ever use this in a layer cake?
I could totally do that! What a great idea!
This is the second recipe I made today – to say that it’s addictive, it’s an understatement! I used a very dark, aromatic sugar and this is so much better than ANY of the commercial sweets I have ever had.
The fact that it can be prepared in minutes, just with the use of an oven, a bowl and a spoon makes it a “rescue recipe” when you need something to make fast for an unexpected guests. Thank you, John!
This looks like the DEFINITION of delicious. Then again I am cookie dough’s biggest fan, so I may be biased.
Hahaha- I enjoy it as well!
Oh my this looks delicious! Thank you for this recipe it it absolutely amazing! And the flavour is to die for! I have a question though, in your YouTube video you said 240g of flour but here it says 270g? I was wandering which one was right as I’ve tried the recipe with 270g and it turned out okay but I’m just curious. Incredible recipe though that I would recommend and try again myself!
Thank you! I made this recipe a few times and used a slightly different amount of flour in the youtube video. 270g works fine but you can use less if you want more butter and sugar in each bite 🙂
Love this cookie dough so much!! It tastes amazing and was super easy to make. And I know this defies the purpose of the edible cookie dough, but if I were to bake these into cookies what temperature and how long should I bake them for? (I followed the recipe exactly btw)
Love the recipe but I don’t have a stand mixer. So, what can I use alternatively?
Hand mixer will work too:)
I made this recipe today. While sick with the stomach bug the week before last, I watched a couple days of cooking/baking/decorating shows and stumbled upon this recipe on your show. I made the edible chocolate chip cookie dough version today, right after making my friend’s traditional sugar cookie dough recipe, and it’s a close toss-up. I have yet to cook a few of yours (what time and temperature makes them chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside?), but have the rest sealed in the fridge. My family wouldn’t stop asking me to clean the bowl. Thank you for this option! I LOVE your kitchen!!!
I love this recipe! It was really simple and easy to make and it tasted great! I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for some safe and delicious cookie dough!
SOOOOOOOO good both my parents liked it and I gave my brother two testing spoons and he DEMOLISHED them this is such a good recipe for any level of bakers. (And I am still not in high school!)
thank you!
This recipe is amazing! I mixed it with buttercream and put it on cupcakes. Delish!
