On a trip to Natchez, Mississippi in December, I had the pleasure of trying edible Funfetti cookie dough at a shop called Rolling in The Dough. It. Was. Amazing. Since I live almost 500 miles from Natchez, I couldn’t get my edible cookie dough fix whenever I had a craving. The path was clear; I had to recreate their version at home. I began to experiment and came up with an edible Funfetti Cookie Dough recipe that tastes similar to theirs. Because they placed their dough between cookies, I decided to do the same.
Edible Funfetti Cookie Dough Recipe:
Once I posted a picture of my creation on Facebook, several people asked for the recipe. Between traveling, writing, and viruses, I delayed and procrastinated. Nevertheless, I’ve finally gotten around to writing it down and simplifying it. Why bother to make cookies from scratch when you can purchase a package of cookie dough and make them quickly in the air fryer? As soon as they cool, I spread the filling inside the cookie. These cookies have been a hit with everyone who has tried them. One warning- raw flour can contain e-coli. You’ll want to heat treat your flour before using it in the dough. Thankfully, it is easy to do and only takes a few minutes.
Also, I realize these cookies have A LOT of extract in them. I was trying to duplicate the flavor of the version from Rolling in the Dough. You can adapt the amount of extract to your taste. Begin with 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and 1 teaspoon of almond. Add more until you get the flavor you prefer.
How to Heat Treat Flour:
Preheat the oven to 350. Spread two cups of flour onto a cookie sheet. Toast the flour for five minutes. Allow the flour to cool before using it.
Printable Recipe
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour–see note for heat treating the flour
- 3 Tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-2 tsp almond extract
- 3 Tbsp sprinkles of your choice
- 1 package refrigerated sugar cookie dough, optional
- In a large mixing bowl, add the butter, sugar, and salt. Mix until butter is creamy.
- Add flour. Stir until blended.
- Add the cream, vanilla, and almond extract. Begin with 1 teaspoon of almond extract and adjust to your personal tastes.
- Stir in the sprinkles.
- Slice cookie dough into 16 rounds. Cook as directed on package or cook in the air fryer. (See directions below.)
- Allow cookies to cool. Place a heaping tablespoon of filling onto 8 of the cookies. Top with remaining 8 cookies. Store in the fridge.
How to Bake Cookies in the Air Fryer:
Preheat the air fryer to 350.
Slice the cookies into 16 even slices. Place 8 slices of cookie dough onto a piece of parchment paper sprayed with oil. Add the paper to the tray. Cook for 8 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the parchment paper before removing them. Repeat the process with the last 8 slices of cookie dough.
Edible Funfetti Cookie Dough Tips:
*Do NOT bake this cookie dough. Because it doesn’t have eggs or other essential ingredients in it, the cookie will not bake correctly.
*Make it gluten-free by substituting an equal amount of gluten-free one-to-one baking flour for the regular all-purpose flour.
*Store the cookies in the fridge in an airtight container.
*Make M&M dough by omitting sprinkles and almond extract and adding 1 cup plain M&Ms.
