Edible Cookie Dough

February 11, 2018 By Molly 142 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Edible cookie dough is sweet and delicious! It's like eating the real cookie dough, minus the eggs so you can eat it by the spoon full or dip it with your favorite snacks. This edible cookie dough recipe is so easy to make because it only has a few ingredients and it takes minutes to come together.

Note: This recipe was updated on 2.11.18 with new photos!

JUST THINK about the endless ways to eat this edible cookie dough! In cupcakes, in brownies, as a frosting, as a crust layer to ice cream bars or cheesecake, in ice cream, or just plain by itself. There's really no reason there shouldn't be a giant bowl of this edible cookie dough in your fridge or freezer at all times.

By keeping it on the ready you're one step closer to an amazing dessert quickly and easily.

I know this isn't a crazy revolution or something you don't already know, but I'm obsessed with chocolate chip cookies cookies and cookie dough. But who isn't, really? Of all the ice cream flavors in the world my very first pick would be chocolate chip cookie dough.

How do you make cookie dough without eggs?

To make cookie dough without eggs you'll blend all of the traditional cookie dough ingredients together with a stand mixer or electric hand mixer and add milk to bring it all together instead of eggs.

You'll cream the butter and sugar together like you do with traditional cookies when you make edible cookie dough, then you'll add the flour, vanilla and salt. Because we aren't baking this edible cookie dough you don't need any baking soda or baking powder to help them rise.

Once it's mixed you'll add mini chocolate chips (or sprinkles!) to it and serve with graham crackers, teddy grahams or any of your favorite dipping snacks.

Is it safe to eat raw flour?

It isn't the safest to eat raw flour. In recent years people have found that faw flour can cause stomach issues so it's better to heat treat your flour before making edible cookie dough to be safe.

How to heat treat: place the flour in a bowl and then place on high in the microwave until the flour reaches an internal temp of 166°F. This takes generally 50-60 seconds. Once you do this you're good!

        Hey Ally! So so sorry to hear it didn't turn out.

        I really wish I could answer this question for you. Truthfully, any number of factors could have contributed to the recipe not turning out as intended: the temperature of the ingredients; if any ingredients had expired; measuring technique etc. I test my recipes multiple times and have used this as a tried and true component to many other desserts.

        Curious as to what it tasted like? Maybe that will help me pinpoint any revisions or recommendations!

          Hi Molly
          I just FaceTimed with my granddaughter and she made this recipe… I found it and read it to her… we usually bake together each week since COVID! Sometimes I bake too but tonight just her and the entire family tried it and it was a thumbs up👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 For all of the family! Thanks! I’m thinking if people are having a problem it might be the baking of the flour! We baked it in the microwave a cup at a time!!! If the flour burns then a completely different taste which I know you know! Anyway excellent!

        Hey Morgan! Very bummed to hear that. This recipe uses the base of my favorite cookie dough just minus the baking soda and milk instead of eggs (so you can eat it raw!). Because it doesn't have eggs you may notice a slight difference in taste, but the texture should be the same and should still taste like cookie dough.

        If you actually do it right it tastes AMAZING! Too bad you didnt do right you are missing out. Just because you did it multiple times does NOT mean you are going to do it right one of those times. Try reading the instrustions and the amount of each ingredient VERY carefully. Trust me, when i made this it was amazing. You could also go and buy edible cookie dough from vat19 or amazon.

      I’m sorry but my dough came out gross.. Heat treating the flour made the flour smell foul. I still went along with the recipe with exact Measurements and temperatures thinking maybe it would change once I added and mixed everything. But, mine came out mushy and it does not taste or look like cookie dough whatsoever. I made it because my cravings are all over the place and I thought this would be a good place to start, and it just made me really sad and upset that it did not come out as planned. I probably won’t be using this recipe again nor sharing it with friends and family sorry.

      I followed the recipe exactly, and my dough came out with a liquid consistency. It never received its dough shape. I have placed the dough in the freezer and will update you on the flavor. Hopefully, freezing the mixture will improve its shape.

      Hi I'm Noah and it really worked so well for me. One problem that might happen is too much milk or just too much flour which can really affect the taste. When you heat treated the flour you should mix it each 15 seconds for a better heat area and if you do it without mixing it's possible the top starts hating up too much while the bottom remains same! I hope this helps

      I agree it tastes nothing like cookie dough. I'm not sure if it is due to heating the flour or to much vanilla. It taste bad an the after taste in your mouth is bad. I followed the steps by step instructions an measured everything level

    I just made this cookie dough yesterday and it turned out VERY salty! I put in 1 tsp, but I think it was just to much. It ruined the taste of the dough, but I wasn't going to waist the ingredients and make it again, so I added it to the ice cream mixture and after it froze and I tasted it this morning, the dough wasn't bad. I think one of my problems was I used salted butter, it was just to much. The next time I make it, if I use salted butter, I won't use any salt, and if it's unsalted butter, I would only use 1/2 tsp. Just a suggestion. Overall the ice cream was real yummy and like I said the dough wasn't bad.

    It should be noted that eating raw flour is a risk as well because the flour could contain harmful bacteria. Since there is no actually baking of the cookie dough and no heat to kill the bacteria that could possibly be lurking, it isn't really safe to it. Commercially made products that contain cookie dough use heat treated flour in their products but unfortunately that isn't sold in stores.

      Hi Katie! Thanks so much for your feedback. And really appreciate your concern. When it comes to raw flour you definitely want to be careful. However, you have the same, or larger, chance of eating the same bacteria on fruits and veggies, like a spinach salad for example. I've made this recipe multiple times and haven't had any issues. Hope this helps!

        You can cook all purpose flour spread on a cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes to kill any bacteria in the flour, that’s what I always do when I make edible cookie dough 🙂 just make sure the flour is cool before you add it to the mix.

    Hi

    I modified the recipe slightly by adding a little less salt and also a tbsp more milk to make it softer. I've kept it in the fridge and it looses its softness, now it's so hard a crumbles. Do you have any ideas on keeping it soft? The flavor is delicious! Great recipe

    • Molly Leonard says

      February 03, 2017 at 1:02 pm

      Hey Sam!

      Have you tried leaving it out a while to soften? It's likely because the cream cheese and butter have hardened from the fridge. If you let it sit out for around 30-40 minutes it should soften again.

      Thanks!

    OMG!!!
    This is amazing! My daughter and I had a craving for some chocolate chip cookie dough. I'd never made it before and searched Ponterest. I came upon your recipe and it seemed easy enough. I wasn't turning out to buy ingredients, so I had to alter the recipe a bit. We only had Lactaid milk in the house ( only needed 2 Tbs anyway) and I had no butter in the house...only margarine. Yes...don't make fun of me, but we were desperate to cure our craving! I left the salt out because margarine has salt in it.
    It came out great! When I tasted it right after it was all mixed, I decided it still needed a couple of pinches of salt.
    So...margarine instead of butter, and Lactaid instead of milk. SEE??? It's totally HEALTHY!!! LOL!
    I did stick it in the freezer for about 30 minutes and then the fridge for storage. It's SO delicious! We divided it into 2 separate containers so we each have our own! It really makes a LOT!

    I made this and it tasted like actually cookie dough I didn't use any salt or was perfect.

    It’s more like whipped cookie flavoring? Not what I was looking for - but didn’t taste bad?

    Ahhh! Just made this and it definitely tastes like cookie dough! Maybe I should have put the dough in the fridge for longer because it was quite soft and didn't really have the consistency of dough (I even added more flour) but I didn't mind that too much, because it tasted good! Thanks for this recipe xx

    This is absolutely awful. Maybe it's because I used water and oil instead of milk and butter, but it was still shit. I don't recommend this recipe to anyone.

    Unsure what I did wrong. It tastes really good and my family liked it but we were trying for a dough we could shape. I followed directions mostly. I only added 1 tbsp of milk as my dough seemed loose. I hoped it would form up in the fridge but it never did get much firmer. Perhaps using margarine is the difference?

      Hi Patty! Did you use margarine rather than butter? That's probably the difference!

        I have not had an opportunity to make this again but I did use room temperature margarine to make this recipe and I highly suspect that was the reason for my issue. It was good though and I will make this again.

    Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or
    go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm completely overwhelmed ..

    Um you definitely shouldn’t eat flour raw. You might not always get sick, but grains are stored for a long time and mice and rats and bugs hang out in it and poop in it and everything gets ground up into flour, it’s not cooked until you cook it. Definitely heat treat your flour!!

    Quick question. If we use a portion for baking the cookies, should we add an egg and baking soda?

    I love this edible cookie dough! I prefer it after it's been in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. I had to modify the recipe a bit to my taste. I decreased the flour to 1 cup because I could really taste it otherwise. I burnt it once so now I'm careful. And I use unsalted butter and no salt added to the recipe. This is my go to when I want a little sweet snack! Thanks for sharing.

    Hi, Molly!
    2 years ago, I was in US and love cookie dough ice cream so much! But, after I went back to Japan, I can't find it, so I searched and tried many recipes. (And many of them were not good unfortunately.) I finally found good recipe from your site. I just finished making and am enjoying my loving taste. Thank you so much from Japan!
