If you’re like me, you love to sneak nibbles of cookie dough before it goes in the oven. But regular cookie dough has raw eggs and flour in it, which aren’t healthy to eat. This egg-free edible cookie dough is a game-changer for that reason. Rich and buttery, and baked with heat-treated flour so you can relax.

This no-bake dessert will fulfill your sweet taste in no time, whether you take it by the spoonful, mix it with ice cream, or top it with more chocolate chips.

• ✔️ Safe to eat: no raw eggs and flour that has been heated.
• ✔️ Controlled portions—no leftover dough to tempt you!
• ✔️ Very quick—only five minutes to get ready.
• ✔️ Simple to change—mix it with ice cream, add peanut butter, or sprinkles!

The best edible cookie dough needs these things

You simply need a few common pantry items to make this cookie dough that doesn’t need to be baked:

• Unsalted butter gives the dish a rich taste and a creamy texture.
• Brown sugar and granulated sugar make things sweeter and chewier.
• Salt makes the taste better.
• Vanilla: Adds depth and warmth.
• Heavy whipping cream makes the right consistency (or you can use milk instead).
• Chocolate chips: For the greatest texture, use a mix of regular and micro chocolate chips.

Substitutions for ingredients

If you don’t have these things, here are other things you can use instead:

• Vanilla extract: Use almond extract instead. It will make your cookie dough rich and complex.
• Instead of heavy whipping cream, use milk. It will work just as well.

How to Make Cookie Dough Safe to Eat

It’s wonderful to eat raw cookie dough, but raw flour can have bacteria that can get you sick, including E. coli. To make it safe, do this:

• To heat-treat the flour, put it in the microwave for 15 seconds at a time for 90 seconds, or bake it at 350°F for 5 minutes.
• No eggs! This recipe doesn’t use any eggs at all, so it’s safe to eat.

Ingredients for the dough

• ◯ 1 and a half tablespoons of soft butter
• ◯ 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
• ◯ 1/2 tablespoon of granulated sugar
• ◯ 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• ◯ 1 tablespoon of thick whipping cream
• ◯ 1 pinch of salt
• ◯ 3 and a half tablespoons of flour heated in the microwave for 90 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds.
• ◯ 1 to 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips

How to do it

1. In a small bowl, start by creaming the butter, the brown sugar, and the granulated sugar together.
2. Add in the vanilla and the heavy whipping cream and mix again.
3. Add in the cooked and cooled flour and a bit of salt and stir thoroughly.
4. Mix in the chocolate chips one last time, and then enjoy your delicious edible cookie dough treat!

Tip: If you want your cookie dough to be even softer, add a little more cream.

Do I need to bake the flour to make my edible cookie dough?

Yes, baking the flour will make this cookie dough safe to eat. You shouldn’t eat raw flour (or eggs), but let’s be honest, we’ve all had some raw cake batter, brownie batter, and cookie dough.

But for safety’s sake and to be extra safe, bake or microwave your cake before you measure out the flour for this recipe.

You have to bake the flour at 350F for 5 minutes and then let it cool before using it in your edible cookie dough recipe. This method will get rid of any bad germs that might be in the flour.

Can I bake the flour in the microwave because I don’t have an oven?

Yes, you can 🙂 As a general rule, you should microwave your flour at the highest setting until it reaches 165F. I know that not everyone has a thermometer, so you can microwave your flour for 1 minute and 15 seconds at the highest setting, stirring it every 15 seconds (five times), letting it cool, and then using it in this recipe!

Is it possible to bake this cookie dough?

This recipe won’t bake right because it doesn’t use eggs or leavening agents. If you want actual cookies, make small batches of chocolate chip cookies. They are soft and chewy, and we make them at least once a month!

Can I put this cookie dough in ice cream?

Yes, for sure! You may create this cookie dough, shape it into small logs, wrap them in plastic wrap, and freeze them. Cut it into little circles with a sharp knife once it has hardened, and then mix it with any ice cream flavor you like!

You may also prepare small balls of cookie dough, freeze them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and then add them to your ice cream.

I adore putting this cookie dough in the Tillamook chocolate peanut butter ice cream! So tasty!

How long does cookie dough that you can eat last?

• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
• Freezer: You can freeze it for up to two months.

Can I use oat or almond flour instead?

Yes! You don’t have to cook almond and oat flour, and they work fine as gluten-free substitutes.
