Just when we thought we couldn’t possibly love our social-justice-slinging,anti-racist, ice-cream-scooping fake boyfriends Ben and Jerry any more, they went ahead and published the recipe for Ben & Jerry’sedible cookie doughto seal the deal. (This even beats the time they launchededible cookie dough bites.)
You’re probably like, um,isn’t all cookie dough *technically* edible lol, and while that’s notuntrue, it’s also pretty risky to eat raw cookie dough willy-nilly, since it contains raw eggs andflour—a recipe for contracting salmonella and E. coli if we ever heard of one. Thankfully, the Ben & Jerry’s version has a workaround to make the dough safe to eat without baking, and it’s super easy. The recipe is eggless but itdoescontain flour, however, it gets heat-treated in the microwave to reach a bacteria-eliminating temperature of 165°F.
According to Ben and Jerry, you could technically bake this dough into actualchocolate-chip cookiesif you wanted to…but do you really want to? We didn’t think so. Without further ado, here’s how to make theBen & Jerry’s edible chocolate-chip cookie doughat home.
