Hello, Cookie Dough: 110 Doughlicious Confections to Eat, Bake & Share

This book is full of delicious and tempting edible cookie dough recipes that will have you sneaking spoonfuls of doughy goodness from the container in the fridge at 2am. Everything to make (salmonella safe!) raw cookie dough is in these pages, and it will be torture trying to pick the first recipe you want to try. I started with the old standby chocolate chip cookie dough because if the recipe for a classic turns out terrible, then I held out no hope for any of the other recipes in this book. Before you make a single recipe, be prepared to do some prep work - pasteurizing the flour and eggs are critically important if you don't want to risk salmonella or other food poisoning/illness. All the instructions are in the first section of the book, so do not skip reading this part! Another reason you need to read this section? It contains the instructions on how to turn the raw edible dough into fresh from the oven, warm, gooey cookies. So while a lot of cookbooks fill the first chapter or two with fluff about how the author organizes their silverware drawer according to whether or not Mars was in retrograde on the Tuesday they ate the best eggplant of their life because the shape of the croutons on the side salad they ate first spoke to them and told them how to rearrange their kitchen, this cookbook helpfully tells you how to make copious amounts of safely edible raw cookie dough that you can also turn into baked goods. Once I did the prep work, it was on to making the chocolate chip cookie dough. Everything went smoothly, and the prep work was the longest bit of the process. Make sure to follow the instructions provided and not take shortcuts like trying to melt butter in the microwave as this will impact how your dough turns out. That batch was edible, but the second batch made following the instructions exactly was a lot better. Smooth, melt-in-your-mouth, buttery, brown sugary, I-love-this-cookbook cookie dough..... and even the baked cookies were pretty good. It's suggested that when you pasteurize your flour that you just go ahead and do the whole five pound bag at once since you will make multiple batches of dough. Do this. They are not kidding. I've made more batches of the chocolate chip dough to give to friends and family (as well as gifting a copy of this book to a friend), and I need to get another bag of flour to heat-treat. Same with the eggs. These edible doughs freeze wonderfully, so with the holidays coming up, stock up on ingredients and containers and spend a weekend making a gift that people will love and thank you for over and over, and then ask to borrow the cookbook.

I pre-ordered this MONTHS ago after trying the author's signature edible cookie dough at DO in NYC. I'd had edible cookie dough from other places before but thought hers was the best I'd ever tried and hit all the right notes - it nailed the experience of real cookie dough in flavor and texture. I also liked her variety of classic and creative flavors. When I pre-ordered there was little info out about the book so I kept my fingers crossed that this book would have the same beloved flavors I've tried in store. And it does! Sometimes books from professional bakers and chefs can disappoint because they leave out their most famous or signature recipes. This isn't the case here. Not only do you get the recipes to make her classic base doughs and the flavor combos she sells in store but she also gives you lots of tips to help ensure your batches come out as close to hers as possible. She even includes a recipe for her gluten free flour blend for those who cannot do gluten. I also liked that while there are some fun recipes in here you can bake or make with dough most of the focus is on edible cookie dough, because that's why you're picking this up after all. The execution of this book is also very, very good. The directions are simple and easy to follow, unlike some books from professional bakers where you get all the recipes and tricks but they're also so complicated you won't often use them. It's full of drool-worth pictures. And packed with recipes and tips rather than a lot of backstory about the author or her business. WOULD RECOMMEND! It's a great buy if you've been to her shop and want to make her cookie dough at home or as a present for an avid home baker.

Love this book!!!! Bought a copy for myself and my granddaughter. She lives in another state, so we FaceTime and work on one recipe each week from this book!!! The recipes are great, weather you eat the safe dough, or bake them into goodies, they are really good! They received the seal of approval from my husband, and he is a tough audience! The book is full of colorful pictures, and the author is very detailed in each step of the process. Many cookbooks will say “now blend in this ingredient”, this author will say, blend on medium speed for 2 minutes, which is really helpful when trying out new recipes. We have liked trying out all of the unique combinations of flavors, and if you are cookie dough eaters, this book gives you the steps for making the dough very safe to eat!!!! This book is just great fun, especially if you have kids or grandkids, or you’re a kid at heart! This is one of the most fun cookbooks I’ve ever bought!

This was not just a gorgeous cookbook! This was a fun read-I loved all the introductions to the chapters and the back story behind the recipes. This also has some of THE BEST COOKIE recipes ever! I’ve already started going through the recipes. Gimme S’more was a great place to start! The recipes are easy to follow and absolutely fun to make! And my finished, baked product?! Picture. Perfect. Cookie! This is a cookbook that has it all: gorgeous pictures, engaging stories, and doable recipes.

LOVE- except for the swearing and college stories - definitely a book for a college aged girl or woman and above! I don't think I have ever saw such a FUN BOOK though!!! I could just read this book for hours and munch on cookie dough!

My favorite parts of the book are 1) the flow chart (about half way through the book) that helps you decide which recipe to make based on time constraints, taste, etc. 2) the conversational tone throughout the book delivers equal parts sass and passion with some pretty hilarious and inspiring anecdotes making you feel like Kristen is right there in your kitchen :-), and 3) the creativity and variety among the recipes - in keeping with the tone of the Dō business there are recipes for everything from vegan health dough and booze-inspired treats to edible play dō for the kids and all the classics. Seriously, with such a small niche like cookie dough who knew there could be so much to explore?! The book is a very user-friendly and really just so pretty - the pictures are stunning and make you want to take a bite out of every page. This book will be a go-to for entertaining my family and friends, and will most likely be my go-to to for gift giving this season. It’s so, so good!

My wife got this cook book when it first came out and it has not disappointed. If you are a lover of soft gooey cookies, than this cookbook is for you! My wife bakes the signature chocolate chip cookies and brings them to almost every family function. If she doesn’t, people are always disappointed. That’s how good the recipe is. It’s also great to be able to make cookie dough that you can eat raw! What’s better than raw cookie dough? This book even has more than just cookie dough recipes. It’s endless! You won’t regret this purchase!

Todas as receitas bem explicadas, muito bom! Imagens lindas!

In 2018 we travelled to NYC from Australia and high on my son's 'must see' list was a trip to DO. Unfortunately I had planned it so we'd go on the Monday and the shop was closed, I felt like the worst Mum in the world! This Christmas, however, I redeemed myself with the purchase of this book. We made the signature choc chip dough and it was amazing. Seriously. If you want to make edible cookie dough at home, buy this book! If you want to get it from the source, check the opening hours first!

I really want to go to New York and try the Cookie dough at the Dō shop, but unfortunately I'm stuck at the UK for the time being. So I bought this book to have a try at home instead and let me just say, this👏 tastes👏 amazing👏. Totally worth the purchase!! 😋😋
