Has anyone else been sucked into the dark, twisted dystopian world of Handmaid’s Tale???

Funnily enough, I picked the book up off a friend’s shelf a year or so ago.  At the time, I hadn’t heard of it and had no idea that it was being made into a mini series.  It’s a very quick read–a glimpse into a world of what could-be with no conclusion, no ending, and no hope that change may be at hand.  When I heard they were making it into a mini-series, I wasn’t sure what to expect since there isn’t much to the book.  And how do you satisfy viewers when there LITERALLY is no ending… the book just trails off right after a cliffhanger.  As I watched the first few episodes, I realized Hulu is doing something even better…  the mini-series is INSPIRED by the book.  They’ve added characters, additional plot lines, back stories, and fingers-crossed… hoping there’s a true ending.

The scariest thing about Handmaid’s Tale is I honestly don’t think it’s that far off base.  The book’s description of how a radical theocratic government and archaic judicial regime displaced our modern world does not seem to be some huge stretch of the imagination.  Dystopian novels are usually not very frightening, because they mostly appear so impossible from our developed and modern vantage point.  They talk about a DIFFERENT world, rather than describe how our world became what exists in the book.  Handmaid’s Tale gives you ideas on exactly that in a series of flash-backs by the main character.  Yeesh.

Brownie batter cookie dough was my lifeline during episode 3, which made me want to cry in horror.  I could look down at any moment and remind myself that I could have edible brownie batter cookie dough any time I want.  And with colorful sprinkles.  Lots of sprinkles.  And sprinkles are happy, damn it.

Edible Brownie Batter Cookie Dough

I always thought that the best part of making brownies from scratch was the clean-up.  I may have even done a less-than-stellar job at scraping all the batter into the pan, because . . . oh darn! Guess there is some brownie batter left in the pan that I’ll just have to take care of . . .

Please tell me I’m not the only one that swept my finger across the bottom of the pan just so I could have every last bit of cocoa-y sugar-y goodness???  Thus . . . the need for edible brownie batter cookie dough was born! This cookie dough tastes just like you’re scraping some edible brownie batter out of the pan. But it’s thick enough to eat with a spoon and plop in a crunchy waffle cone! And don’t mind if I top it with some hot fudge and sprinkles…

I am so not over the cookie dough trend.  (David is so over the edible cookie dough trend, since it doesn’t result in cookies . . . but I’ll just buy him a box of lemon heads and call it good.)  I added mini chocolate chips and some chopped ghirardelli chocolate to my edible brownie batter cookie dough. But feel free to use whatever mix-ins you like best! Let me know if you come up with any crazy delightful combos!

Cheers!

IS IT SAFE TO EAT THIS BROWNIE BATTER COOKIE DOUGH?

Past health concerns with eating raw cookie dough stemmed from two ingredients: raw eggs and raw flour. This recipe omits eggs and uses heat-treated flour in order to avoid the risks associated with these ingredients.

WHERE DO I BUY HEAT-TREATED FLOUR?

I personally prefer to purchase my heat-treated flour from Page House, because (a) they have a well-tested process for killing 99.9% of the possible bacteria, and (b) it allows for last minute cookie dough cravings without having to heat treat the flour myself.

CAN I HEAT-TREAT FLOUR AT HOME?

Do so at your own risk. Honeyville has recommended heat-treating your raw flour by toasting it. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spread your flour out on the baking sheet. Bake the flour for five minutes, remove from the oven, and allow to cool completely before using in your recipe. (Using hot flour will change the texture of the cookie dough.)

CAN I BAKE THIS COOKIE DOUGH EVEN IF IT DOESN’T HAVE EGGS?

If you get halfway through the cookie dough and decide you’d rather have cookies, these can be baked up!  They will be crispier and chewier, instead of thick and soft, because of the missing eggs and smaller amount of flour.  But the resulting cookies are especially good when they are fresh out of the oven and warm! Instructions are below!

HOW DO I STORE LEFTOVER COOKIE DOUGH?

Store leftover brownie batter cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks in the refrigerator or in the freezer for up to three months.

My Recipes My Lists My Calendar

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose heat-treated flour, cooled
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Allow butter to soften to room temperature. (Do not melt the butter or you will have greasy cookie dough.)
  2. Cream together butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl. Mix in cocoa powder and beat well. Mix in milk and vanilla. Beat in flour, baking soda, and salt. (If you home heat-treat your flour, make sure your flour is 100% cooled, so that it doesn't change the texture.) Stir in chocolate chips.
  3. Serve on its own or top with sprinkles and hot fudge!
  4. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or in the freezer for up to three months.
  5. For Baking: If you're cookie dough was in the refrigerator or freezer, let it come to room temperature - about an hour. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake small 2-tablespoon sized scoops of dough at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 7-10 minutes. Let the cookies cool and set on the pan.

Notes

DISCLAIMER: The FDA has released information regarding the dangers of raw flour. Luckily, Page House sells a heat-treated flour that is safe to eat. Please make sure you are using heat-treated flour so that you can enjoy cookie dough worry-free!

PS - As always, I used my trusty cookie dough scoops. Seriously could not live without them.

    I've made these multiple times, they're a big hit with my family. They can be baked, too! I put them in at 350F for about 12-15 minutes, depending on how moist the dough is. They taste rather like Little Debbie Fudge Rounds..

    This dough does have a really nice taste, but I had some issues with it! Due to all the sugar it turned out rather grainy, there isn’t any sort of smoothness. (This is my fault for not sifting my flour), but it did also have small flour pockets! Still totally edible luckily.

    I made some just now and my butter was very soft, but now the actual cookie dough really isnt like dough at all and not very dense like the normal cookie dough which i have made before. Will it be better after it goes in the fridge?

      Hi Olivia - if you put the batter in the fridge, it should harden up. I usually use soft butter but not so soft that it too easily squishes!

    This looks INCREDIBLE!!! I can’t wait to try it tonight with Stevia as a natural sugar alternative! ..Does the unsweetened cocoa make it taste bitter in any way? Super excited for this!

      Hi Halee! I have not tried it with a sugar substitute but the cocoa powder is balanced by the sugar in the batter and does not taste bitter! I would say it's a rich chocolate--similar to semi-sweet--but definitely not bitter! Let me know how it goes with Stevia!

      Actually, Salmonella does come from eggs, but you can 100% get sick from raw flour, hence why the creator said to heat treat it. By the Way it is AMAZING!

    I want this soooo badly, but am wondering if you think gluten-free flour could be substituted as my daughter and I have both recently been diagnosed with Celiac disease. In addition, would any gf flour also have to be baked prior to use in the recipe? With thanks (and fingers crossed!).

      Hi, Felicity! Good questions! I've been wondering the same thing! You could easily substitute gluten-free flour or almond flour. I am currently experimenting with what flour will give the best taste. So feel free to try substituting on your own or stay tuned for an update! (Let me know what you think if you make the substitution!) A different flour may absorb liquid a little differently. So you'll have to eyeball whether the dough is the consistency you like or if you need to add a little more milk. I did a little googling and it looks like you may still want to use the heat-treating method according to this article: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/06/30/cookie-dough-that-is-safe-to-eat/86552904/. Hope that helps!

    If it isn't being baked what is the purpose of adding baking soda to the recipe? I'm confused about what it does to a recipe that is not baked.
    Reply
    • Mikaela says

      July 17, 2017 at 7:39 pm

      Hi Caryn! Baking soda has a slight effect on the acidity of the dough. I wanted the cookie dough to be as to the real deal as possible (without eggs, of course), so I added the baking soda, just as I would if I was baking cookies. I'm sure the taste contribution is so minimal that it could easily be left out! Especially since the cocoa in this brownie batter flavor pretty much wipes everything else off the map. :)
