Bite missing from cookie dough cookies.

I wanted to make a cookie better than Crumbl cookie dough cookies. I used my idea from my cookie dough brownies to make a double chocolate cookie with edible cookie dough on top. The cookie dough is made with heat treated flour and no eggs so it is safe to eat!

Tips for making the cookies

Here are my tips, so yours turns out like this recipe! See this post on edible cookie dough for tips on making cookie dough.

  • Tip 1: Make sure to scoop your flour into the measuring cup rather than pressing the measuring cup up against the side of your flour container. If you press the measuring up into the flour you can compact it and end up with too much flour and dry cookies.
  • Tip 2: After you make the cookie dough let it sit for 10 minutes. This will let the gluten from the flour absorb into the dough. This helps keep your cookie dough from spreading as much.
  • Tip 3: Once the cookies are done baking, immediately cook the flour. This will let the cookies and flour cool at the same time.
  • Tip 4: Spread the cookie dough on top of the cookie by using your hands. This will give you the best results.

FAQ’s

Can I make these cookies smaller?

You can make this with a small cookie scoop and bake for 8-9 minutes. You will want to use 1-2 teaspoons of cookie dough on top.

Can the cookie dough be frozen?

Both can be frozen. I recommend scooping the chocolate cookie dough into balls before freezing. Then, you can easily bake. They just might not spread as much.

How do I get perfectly round cookies?

While the cookies will bake very round, to get them picture perfect you can use a large biscuit cutter. Use a cutter an inch or two large than the cookie and scoot the cookie around inside the biscuit cutter to gently shape it. Do this immediately after pulling them out of the oven.
