How to Make Edible Cookie Dough Without Brown Sugar

If you’re about to make some cookie dough and realize you don’t have any brown sugar on hand, you’re in luck. Regular white granulated sugar can be used instead, and the cookie dough will taste just as great!

Just use an equal amount of white sugar if the recipe you’re using calls for brown sugar. 

• Spread the flour out in an even layer on a microwave-safe plate. 
• Microwave at full power in 30-second intervals until the temperature reaches 165°F. Set aside to cool. 
• Add the butter and sugar to a large mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon or a hand mixer, beat until the mixture is creamy and fluffy.
• Beat in the milk and the vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour until it is fully incorporated.
• Add the chocolate chips and mix well. 
• Place the dough in an airtight container or use plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Pro Tips: Heat Treat Flour For Edible Cookie Dough

Recipes for edible cookie dough don’t contain eggs because eating raw eggs can put you at risk for contracting salmonella. You may not realize it, but consuming raw flour is also a concern because it may contain bacteria like Escherichia coli (E. coli).

To eliminate the bacteria, you’ll need to cook the flour. You can do this by heating the flour in an oven preheated to 375°F for about 5-7 minutes, or in a  microwave for about 90 seconds (use full power in 30-second intervals).

The temperature of the flour should reach 165°F. Be sure to occasionally stir the flour while it’s heating. Note that if you’re using nut flour such as almond flour, reduce the cooking time to about 3 minutes.  

How To Tell If The Flour Is Cooked

The color of the flour will change from white to a light golden color. If the flour is a dark brown color, it has burned and you’ll need to start again.

You’ll also notice that the flour produces a nutty aroma or one that’s similar to popcorn. The best way to tell if the flour is cooked is to use an instant-read thermometer. When the temperature reaches 165°F, it is safe to eat.
