Heather's Safe to Eat Raw Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

We are huge cookie fans and possible even bigger cookie dough fans! Realizing it probably wasn't all that great to be allowing my family to devour chunks of cookie dough at a time - I created a SAFE TO EAT raw cookie dough recipe. We keep this in the fridge and grab a hunk whenever we feel the urge - and we also freeze scoops of this stuff to snack on later. Perfect for mixing into ice cream.

• Ready In: 8 mins
• Serves: 30

Ingredients

• 1  cup butter
• 1  cup all-purpose flour
• 1  cup whole wheat flour
• 1  teaspoon baking soda (optional)
• 3⁄4 cup brown sugar
• 1 (3 1/2ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
• 1⁄4 cup milk
• 1  teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2  cups chocolate chips

Directions

1. In large bowl cream butter and sugar until light in color.
2. Add pudding and combine well.
3. Stir in vanilla and milk.
4. Add baking soda, if you choose to & flour 1/2 cup at a time until combined.
5. Stir in chocolate chips.
6. Store in fridge or freeze small scoops in the freezer.
7. Enjoy, WITHOUT the worry of eating raw eggs.
8. You can choose to leave out the baking soda, but it adds a nice flavor to the dough, and I find we miss it when it is not there.
