Is cookie dough the same as a cookie? 

Edible Cookie Dough like this Edible Cookie Dough with Reese’s is made with ingredients that do not need to be baked in the oven.

It can be eaten raw and tastes just like cookie dough! 

These cookies take cookie dough to a new level that tastes just like cookie dough but baked!

A stack of three frosted cookies with chunks of cookie dough and chocolate chips. The top cookie has a bite taken out of it. Additional cookie dough pieces and chocolate chips are scattered around, making this an easy Cookie Dough Cookies recipe that's both delicious and visually appealing.

Why do people like cookie dough so much?

I don’t know if it’s the memories of eating cookie dough out of the batter before you bake the cookies or just the smooth and creamy texture of the dough before it’s baked. 

I know I have memories of my aunts telling us to save them the cookie dough and not to bake it all! 

I am the type of person who can’t eat raw cookie dough b/c i’m too afraid of getting sick – HA!

I will opt for the edible cookie dough or cookie dough cookies every time – but I love the vanilla and brown sugar flavor!

Do cookie dough cookies need to be refrigerated? 

The only part of this cookie that needs to be refrigerated are the cookie dough bites. 

The cookies and frosting can be kept at room temperature.

If you are needing to make these ahead of time just add the garnishing before serving or store the cookies in the refrigerator.
