This edible pumpkin cookie dough makes just a small bowlful of pumpkin chocolate chip cookie dough. It’s the perfect amount for one person, maybe two if you feel like sharing.

Tips and Tricks:

• The pumpkin cookie dough can be enjoyed straight at room temperature from the bowl with a spoon, or rolled up into balls, and you can just pop them in your mouth. 
• I prefer putting them in the fridge for a couple minutes to eat the dough slightly chilled, and it helps it to thicken.
• Also if you roll the cookie dough into balls, you can just eat a couple of them at once if you want, then save the rest in a sealed container for later; when you’re craving something sweet.

How to make edible pumpkin cookie dough?

Pumpkin cookie dough can literally be made in minutes, with just one bowl. You’ll just mix all your ingredients in, adding a couple at a time and voila.

Start by mixing together your butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Then add in the pumpkin purée and vanilla extract, and stir it all together.

Then add in all your dry ingredients, flour, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir it all together till you have a nice dough. (Start with 5 TBS of flour, then add a bit more as needed if your dough is too soft or wet). Taste a teeny bit of the dough and see if it needs more cinnamon. Stir in your chocolate chips and enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions:

How to heat treat flour?

You can heat treat raw flour in the oven. Spread out your all purpose flour on to a baking sheet, and baking it at 350 F for about 5 minutes. You want the flour to reach a temperature of 160 F. 

You can also spread the flour on a microwave safe dish and microwave it for about 30 seconds, but because it’s such a small batch of flour for this recipe, I recommend heating extra flour to prevent it from burning, or causing a microwave fire.

You should be able to store any extra flour in an airtight container for a few months.

How long is pumpkin cookie dough good for? 

Homemade cookie dough should stay good in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months. 

How to make cookie dough truffles?

I also dipped a couple of my cookie dough balls into melted chocolate, to make tasty little pumpkin cookie dough truffles. Which was the perfect treat to just pop a couple into my mouth after a long day. I was able to make about 8 balls of cookie dough, each about 1 Tablespoon in size.

I stuck them in the freezer for a bit to get them hard, and easier to dip. Then it was about 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips melted in the microwave with about 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Dunk them into the chocolate, and carefully remove the balls with a fork. Then place them on parchment paper until the chocolate is set and hardened. 

What happens if you bake edible cookie dough?

We do not recommend baking this raw cookie dough because it does not contain eggs or leavening ingredients found in regular cookie dough, which would be key in helping the cookies rise and lift to make baked pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.

This edible pumpkin cookie dough is a perfect fall treat, it’s got such a delicious pumpkin flavor in each bite. It can be made in just a few minutes, and has the perfect flavors of pumpkin spice and fall spices, and is filled with chocolate chips.
