Delicious Raw Cookie Dough

Raw Cookie Dough Recipe

I'm so excited summer is here - I love spending the days with all my babies in the pool, library and dollar theater. I don't love turning on the oven! In our new home, we don't have air conditioning (yet) and I try to keep the oven use to a minimum. But I'm a baker and we love cookies. 

What to do? I wanted to try my hand at edible raw cookie dough. I love cookie dough! Cookie dough ice cream, frosting, brownies - you name it. Something about the creamy sweetness with chunks of chocolate. There are so many fun things you can create with it.. or you can eat it out of the bowl with a spoon.

It's super easy to make with only a few ingredients. But is it safe? While this recipe is egg-free, believe it or not, but what you have to worry about is the raw flour. There can be bacteria in the flour that we don't typically encounter because we bake what it's in. So how can we use raw flour safely? It needs to reach a temperature of 160 to be used in raw foods. I microwaved mine for 75 seconds in 15 second intervals and it worked great!
