-
½ cup (100g) light brown sugar
-
¼ cup (50g) caster sugar

2–3 tbsp milk (dairy or plant-based)

Pinch of salt

¾ cup (100g) Whitakers white chocolate, chopped

Optional add-ins:
Directions
Heat-treat the flour (for safe eating):
Spread the flour on a baking tray and heat in the oven at 150°C (300°F) for 5 minutes, or microwave for 1 minute, stirring halfway.
Allow to cool completely before using.
Cream the butter and sugars:
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and caster sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the liquids:
Mix in the vanilla extract and 2 tbsp milk.
Add a little more milk only if the dough seems too dry — it should be thick and scoopable.
Combine:
Add the cooled flour and pinch of salt.
Mix until a soft cookie-dough texture forms.
Add the chocolate:
Fold in the chopped Whitakers white chocolate, saving a few chunks for topping if desired.
Serve or chill:
Enjoy immediately, or chill for 20–30 minutes for a firmer, scoopable texture.

How to Store Your Homemade White Chocolate Cookie Dough
Keep this edible white chocolate cookie dough fresh with proper storage.
Put it in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 5-7 days. This helps maintain its soft texture and taste.
To store for longer, scoop portions onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Freeze them until solid, then move to a freezer bag or container. It will last up to 2 months in the freezer.
When ready to eat frozen dough, let it thaw at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften.
Avoid refreezing thawed dough to keep the quality high. Always check for any off smells before eating.
A Brief History of Cookie Dough in the UK
Cookie dough has roots in British baking from the early 1800s.
English cookbooks listed recipes for eatable cake-mixes, but these used raw eggs and did not catch on much due to safety issues.
Frozen cookie dough arrived in UK supermarkets by the 1970s and 1980s.
It came in logs or pucks for easy home baking, part of a bigger push for quick foods after World War II. 🍪
In 1994, Ben & Jerry's brought chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream to the UK, which helped spread the taste for raw dough treats.
American-style cookies grew popular in the 1990s with shops like Millie's Cookies and Ben's Cookies in malls.
Edible cookie dough as a standalone snack picked up in the late 1990s.
The modern trend kicked off around 2016 with places like Blondie's Kitchen, who started pop-ups and sold thousands of cookies fast.
By 2023, they added hot cookie dough bars for custom builds. 😋
