Common Questions About Edible Funfetti Cookie Dough:
- Can I eat this cookie dough raw? Yes, this recipe is specifically designed to be safe to eat raw since it doesn’t contain eggs and the recipe uses heat treat flour.
- Can I bake this cookie dough into cookies? While this dough is technically edible raw, it won’t yield the same texture if baked into cookies. It’s best enjoyed straight from the bowl.
- Can I substitute almond extract with something else? If you’re not a fan of almond flavor, you can omit it altogether or substitute with additional vanilla extract or cake batter extract for a classic flavor.
- Can I freeze the cookie dough in individual portions? Absolutely! Portion the dough into individual servings before freezing for easy grab-and-go treats.
- Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour? While you can technically use whole wheat flour, it will result in a denser texture and slightly nuttier flavor. Adjustments may be needed to achieve the desired consistency.
