One of my favorite parts of baking chocolate chip cookies is the cookie dough. I realize that you’re really not supposed to eat it with the raw eggs and all, but I live on the edge. For me, it tastes almost better than the baked cookies!
A few years ago I found out that you can make cookie dough specifically to eat – there are no eggs, so no worries about bacteria. I don’t make it often because while it may be safe to eat, it’s not exactly good for my waistline. But recently I made a swap – a sweet swap, using SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend.
Edible Cookie Dough Recipe
This recipe tastes sinful, even though it’s lighter than a traditional edible cookie dough recipe. You only need half as much SPLENDA Brown Sugar Blend as you would regular brown sugar, so you’ll save on calories.
- ¼ cup + 2 T SPLENDA Brown Sugar Blend
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 2 T milk
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Cream together vanilla, SPLENDA Brown Sugar Blend and butter until well combined.
- Mix in flour and salt, blending well.
- Add milk and mix together until consistency of cookie dough. You might need a splash more milk.
- Gently stir in chocolate chips.
- Eat!
I really like that the SPLENDA Brown Sugar Blend provided the same sweetness with less product. I can’t wait to use it in even more recipes. And I’ll definitely be trying the SPLENDA Granulated Sugar in something sometime soon, too.
