Why You'll Love Edible Sugar Cookie Dough

It tastes amazing when you eat it by the spoonful. Or, you can serve it to guests like a thick pudding or ice cream. 

This recipe is one of my favorites because it takes just 20 minutes to make! I baked the flour to kill any bacteria that might be lurking on it, but other than that, there is no baking involved.

How to Make this Patriotic Edible Sugar Cookie Dough

Please note: ¼ cup of sprinkles means it's VERY full of sprinkles! Looks great but is less doughy than normal cookie dough. So If you don't like it that way, I'd use two tablespoons of sprinkles.

If you like to follow recipe pictures, I have all of the steps below. If not, scroll down to the printable recipe card. 

Start out by preheating your oven to 350 and spread flour onto a baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes to kill any bacteria. Let cool completely. 

Add butter, sugar, and vanilla to a mixing bowl and beat well. Scrape down the sides of the bowl halfway through and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Add milk, flour and salt and beat until combined.

Fold in ¼ cup sprinkles. 

Serve immediately topped with remaining sprinkles or refrigerate covered until ready to serve. Remove from the refrigerator and let stand for 20-30 minutes to soften before serving.
