We all have been in the situation when we are making cookie dough to bake some cookies and we just can’t resist taking a big bite! It’s likely fine, however, eating raw eggs isn’t the best idea on a regular basis. That’s why I’m so glad I made this einkorn edible cookie dough recipe! It’s all your favorite things you love about cookie dough without the risk of eating raw eggs. And its the perfect little afternoon pick me up.

I know what you are thinking, you shouldn’t eat raw flour either. And I have a little trick to this, too. You can bake the flour at 250 for 10 minutes and then its safe to eat. Easy peasy!

Swap Tips

I love using coconut sugar in this recipe but you can use white sugar if you prefer or if that’s just what you have on hand. Just decrease by 1/4 c or so.

All purpose flour would work well in this recipe but the type of flour I use is one of the oldest variety of wheat you can find. Einkorn flour is a low gluten option for anyone who struggles with modern wheat or has a gluten sensitivity. It has added health benefits and is a different type of gluten that many find easier to break down. If you don’t have an issue, regular flour works great, too. If you want to learn more about using this ancient grain, you can find more information here. You can find this flour on amazon or at your local health food stores!

This is a simple recipe that I love making and sticking in my kids lunches for a little treat. For the holidays, I love turning these edible dough balls into little white chocolate peanut butter cups. I’ll put the directions below if you are interested in turning these into something special for the holidays.

Ingredients

2 stick of butter; room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 c coconut sugar
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups of einkorn flour ( or 2 c all purpose flour)
1 c dark chocolate chips (could use milk chocolate or semi sweet chocolate)

Step By Step

To start, you will need to bake the flour on a baking sheet. Do this for 10 minutes at 250 degrees. This will ensure the raw flour is safe to eat. Once it’s baked, allow it to cook on the cookie sheet on a wire rack before adding to the dough.

In a mixing bowl with a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, add the two sticks of butter and coconut sugar. Beat on a high speed for a few minutes. You’ll want to make sure the butter begins to have an almost fluffy consistency and the sugar gets a chance to incorporate into the butter so it’s not gritty. Then add in the vanilla. Sift the dry ingredients in a small bowl and then add to wet ingredients. Mix on medium speed for a few minutes until all wet ingredients and flour mixture are incorporated well. Fold in the chocolate chips.

For the best results, store the cookie dough in the fridge for a few weeks in an airtight container, wrapped in parchment paper, or covered with plastic wrap. Or in the freezer for a few months in an airtight container or freezer bag. I love adding this into my kids lunch boxes for a little treat. These are one of the easiest yummy recipes when you want a quick and easy dessert without wanting to turn on your oven. You can make a double batch and use one for snacks and lunches and the other for making the little holiday treats below! Or make a single batch and use half of the dough for snacking and the other for the treats.

Holiday Treat Recipe

It’s such a fun thing to make homemade candies for the holidays. Anna’s son, Asher, had such a cool idea to turn this edible cookie dough into a delicious piece of candy. Once you have the einkorn edible cookie dough made, the steps are simple to turn these into something spectacular. Melt some white chocolate chips in a separate bowl in the microwave and add in a tablespoon or two of coconut oil to thin it out.

Line some mini muffin tins with liners and add a teaspoon of white chocolate to the bottom. Use the smallest biscuit cutter or roll a ball and press into a size that will fit over top the white chocolate. Add a teaspoon of natural peanut butter atop the cookie dough, and then top it all with another teaspoon or two with white chocolate chips. Freeze the cups for about 30 minutes, and you are done! You can pack these in with some buttery cookies or other homemade candies for little gift boxes. Add them to a holiday charcuterie board to impress your guests with a homemade treat.

This little holiday cookie treat is an awesome no bake option that has many uses! Eat right out of the fridge or package in a healthier peanut butter and cookie cup. Either way, its a fun way to eat an einkorn chocolate chip cookie recipe without needing to bake! And I think its the best part anyways. Hope you enjoy!
