Ok, here is the recipe! Enjoy!
No-Cook Sugar Cookie Play Dough Recipe
This recipe makes approximately 6 cups of dough, which was the perfect amount for my 3 kids.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter (melted completely)
5 cups flour
1 2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
optional: 1/2 cup water, added a spoonful at a time to obtain desired texture
optional: food coloring
Directions For The Perfect Edible Play Dough
Step 1: Melt the butter completely in the microwave. This is the most important step of this edible play dough recipe, don’t skip it!
Step 2: Mix in the flour and sugar until combined. The play dough will be a little crumbly at this point.
Step 3: Add oil and knead until all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 4: If needed, add water to gain desired texture. Continue kneading till smooth. You can also add a little bit more vegetable oil if the play dough is too sticky.
Step 5: Divide the play dough into as many pieces as you want to create different colors. Add food coloring, and play!
I totally made up this play dough recipe as I went along, but kept a mental note of the ingredients I used… So full disclosure, you may have to play around with the proportions just a little. Try adding a little extra flour if it is too runny, a little extra water if its too crumbly, or a little extra oil if it is too sticky.
The dough will be slightly crumbly when it is finished. The more you can knead it, the less it will crumble, but because it is egg free, and raw, a little crumbling is normal! I promise, the kids won’t mind. Especially when they taste it!
