Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup M&M's candies
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients on a clean countertop. Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Using a hand mixer or a sturdy wooden spoon, cream the mixture together until it is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until evenly combined. This step helps to ensure that the salt is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing on low speed or stirring with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the cookie dough.
- Pour in the milk and mix until the dough is smooth and creamy. The milk will help achieve the desired consistency for the cookie dough.
- Gently fold in the M&M's candies using a spatula. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Once everything is well mixed, your edible M&M's cookie dough is ready to enjoy! You can serve it immediately or refrigerate it for a firmer texture.
- For serving, scoop the cookie dough into small bowls or onto a plate. You can also enjoy it straight from the mixing bowl with a spoon!
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy your delicious, safe-to-eat cookie dough!
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is truly at room temperature for the smoothest, creamiest texture.
- Flour Safety: If you're extra cautious, briefly toast your flour in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes to eliminate any potential bacteria.
- Mix Gently: Overmixing can make your dough tough, so fold ingredients with a light hand.
- Chill for Intensity: While delicious immediately, refrigerating for 30 minutes can enhance the flavor and give a firmer texture.
- Get Creative: Experiment with different candy mix-ins or add a sprinkle of sea salt for a gourmet twist.
- Storage Tip: Always keep your edible cookie dough refrigerated and consume within a week for the best taste and quality.
