Sweet chunks of edible cookie dough fill each scoop of this rich and creamy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream
Is there anything more irresistible than a spoonful of cookie dough? I know that I can never resist it.
The Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough that I shared yesterday was the inspiration for this ice cream. Every single cookie dough filled bite is creamy ice cream heaven.
The most popular question I get is whether it’s possible to make ice cream without a machine. The answer is YES. You can make ice cream without a machine. Find the full directions here!
Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
While making the edible cookie dough is the most time-intensive part of this recipe, it’s well worth the effort!
You can stir the cookie dough together while the ice cream churns and the cookie dough chunks will be ready to stir into the ice cream when it’s finished churning.
As much as we love cookies, sometimes you just want the cookie dough, right?
(Not that I’ve ever turned down a Dark Chocolate Toffee Cookie or one of Grandma’s Monster Cookies.)
Wondering how those cute chunks are made? It’s easier than you might think! Just press the cookie dough out across a parchment-lined tray and chill in the refrigerator or freezer until firm.
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the cold cookie dough into 1/2-inch chunks. The cookie dough chunks can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Can You Eat Raw Flour?
Turns out that you aren’t supposed to eat raw flour. However, if you’re like me, you’ve probably been tasting cookie dough and cake batters your entire life without any issues at all, right?
That said, when making a full batch of cookie dough with plans to consume it raw, it’s not a bad idea to follow the safety recommendation and toast the flour for 5 minutes in the oven first.
To heat treat your flour, just spread the flour across a parchment-lined baking sheet. (The parchment isn’t required, but it will make it easy to transfer the flour to the mixing bowl when it’s cool.)
Bake the flour for 5 minutes at 350°F. Remove from the oven and cool. Use the treated flour as instructed in the recipe.

Edible Cookie Dough Instructions
- Combine the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl and beat to combine. Add the flour and beat again to mix throughout. Stir in the chocolate chips. The dough should be thick and sticky.

These are my favorite inexpensive containers for storing ice cream. They’re perfect for gifting (who doesn’t love homemade ice cream?) storage, re-using, etc. I write the flavors on the lids with a sharpie and it washes off with dish soap.
I have more ice cream scoops than I can keep track of at this point and I definitely play favorites. This ice cream scoop does the best job ever of cutting through firm ice cream and still delivers a pretty scoop. It gets bonus points for being one of the least expensive scoops I own as well.
