Frequently Aked Questions
How Is This Cookie Dough Safe To Eat?
It’s eggless cookie dough, so that eliminates the risk of potential salmonella. To further ensure it’s safe to consume the flour is heat-treated in the oven to a high temperature.
This simple process kills off any bacteria that the flour may have in it.
Can I Add More Irish Cream For A Stronger Flavor?
Yes! Feel free to add an additional ounce or two of Irish cream to obtain a stronger flavor. Just keep in mind that adding more will create a softer dough.
How Do I Store This Edible Cookie Dough?
Simply place it in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Then enjoy it for up to 3 days!
Is There Another Way To Heat Treat The Flour?
There is! Instead of baking it in the oven, you can simply microwave it in a bowl. To do so microwave it for five 15-second intervals, stirring between each one.
The flour is safe to use once it has reached a temperature of at least 160 degrees F. To check the temperature you can simply use a kitchen thermometer!
Can I Just Use One Kind Of Chocolate Chips?
Of course! I personally enjoy the dough most when it has a mix of white and semi-sweet chocolate chips. But you can totally follow your own taste buds and certainly just use one or the other.
How Can I Make A Non-Alcoholic Version Of This Recipe?
Easy, just swap out the liquor for Irish Cream coffee creamer!
