I love sugar cookies, and I'm not sure why edible sugar cookie dough isn't as popular as chocolate chip cookie dough. If you're a cookie dough lover, this is the perfect simple treat!
It's super easy to make these festive for any holiday or occasion, just pick up some colored sugar sprinkles! I made a red and green batch for Christmas, which is the batch pictured in this article. I can imagine these in baby blue and pink for a baby shower or mixed pastel colors for Easter. They're also great just rolled in white sugar as well!

Edible Sugar Cookie Dough Bites
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups flour

- Cream together the softened butter, vanilla, salt, and both sugars in a stand mixer or by hand until fully combined.
- Slowly add in the flour, while mixing, until the dough is completely mixed.
- Portion the cookie dough into balls. I use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop for this step. Roll them into smooth balls between the palms of your hands. (You can make larger or smaller sized cookie dough bites if you want!)
- Pour some white sugar or colored sugar sprinkles out onto a plate. Roll the cookie double balls around on the plate until they're completely coated!
