Unlike regular sugar cookie dough, this recipe is made with butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and confectioners’ sugar. So it’s got a taste and texture all its own! It’s also easy to make and doesn’t take long.
Its taste isn’t overwhelming, and it’s nice and chewy. And that’s the best part because you can eat the entire batch in one sitting!
I use this cookie dough recipe for my festive edible cookie dough Christmas cookies like Snowmen, Christmas Trees, and Gingerbread Men. You only need a few minutes in the oven to form these cute little guys.
How To Make Edible Sugar Cookie Dough Recipe?

Necessary Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour.
- 8 tablespoons salted butter softened.
- ½ cup granulated sugar.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- 2 to 3 tablespoons whole milk to reach.
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles.
Equipment Needed
- Small bowl
- Mixing bowl
- 2 cookie sheets
- Spoon for mixing and
Preparation Instructions
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2.
Mix flour and baking powder; set aside.
Step 3.
In the mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugars until well blended, about 2 minutes. Add in the vanilla extract, salt, and flour mixture until just incorporated. Add 1 tablespoon of milk until dough is easy to handle but not sticky.
Step 4.
Place one of the cookie sheets in the oven. Roll dough out to a thickness of 1/8-inch and cut into shapes desired. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
Step 5.
Let cookies cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then transfer to a plate to cool completely (about 15 minutes).
Notes:
1. Make sure the butter is very soft and not at all cold. It should be at room temperature when the sugar is added. Otherwise, your sugar mixture will harden to a solid lump because of crystallization.
2. If you don’t have salted butter, reduce the amount of salt used in the recipe by half.
3. If your kitchen is very hot and it’s hard to keep your dough from sticking to the rolling pin, wrap some plastic around it so the dough won’t stick.
