Ingredient Notes
This Edible Sugar Cookie Dough Recipe starts by heat-treating the flour. While that cools unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar are creamed together.
Once that mixture is light and fluffy flavoring will be added in! For this step, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract are needed.
Afterward, the baked flour and salt are added to finish off the dough mixture. From there you can add in sprinkles and any other mix-ins you may like!
Some tasty mix-ins could include white chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, crushed cookies, nuts, or even candy!

Do we have to add the almond extract or is it optional.
You can just do vanilla if you want. The almond gives it more of that traditional sugar cookie flavor but it will still be delicious without it!
If there is an almond allergy, do you just use more vanilla? So excited to make this tomorrow for my birthday!
Yes, additional vanilla is fine!
It was amazing! we ate it in the first two days it was incredible!
Just curious, mine came out gritty from the sugar, is that normal? The recipe is awesome even tho I had to tweak mine just a little as I had only half the vanilla and no almond extracts or heavy cream. So instead I used what I had of vanilla and substituted the rest for my “Natural Bliss Sweet Cream” coffee cream which is (as the title says)…sweetened and is a milk and heavy cream blend. We all loved it! I’m just curious about that grittyness and wondering if there is anything I can do about it. Maybe as it sits the sugars will “melt” in so to say. Thank you for sharing! From our sweet tooth to yours! ?
It should have a consistency like raw cookie dough so the sugar will be a little gritty but it shouldn’t be unpleasant to eat. I don’t think your substitution would have impacted anything, but maybe try mixing longer?
Delicious! Kids looooooved it!
The colours in this are just beautiful!!!!
I can’t wait to give this a go as I am a definite raw cookie eater!!!
