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!

Ally says
I'm not sure what I did wrong. I followed the instructions and this tasted NOTHING like cookie dough. Very disappointed.
Morgen says
Me too!!
Molly says
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!

Kayden Cassar says
I put my butter and brown sugar and sugar and everything In my moms thermomix and it tasted awsome
Thank you molly
Molly Thompson says
You're welcome!
Kaitlyn says
Yes I just made mine while my family was watching a movies my sister stuck her fingers in mine to eat it too. Thanks molly!
katie says
trying it with my sister, really fun i chose not to put any salt in as this was not sweet last time, if you add a little more brown sugar is really nice 😊
John Bartholomew Steven Jr. says
Your welcome son
Patti says
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!
Christine says
I don’t know what I did wrong but it looks greasy I put it in balls and it looks so gross like I need to cook it do you know how I can fix it
Anonymous says
I don’t know much about cooking but my flower clomped up so I would sift it.
But also I found they tasted better once I put them in the fridge and cooled them
Sophia Faulstich says
You don’t put it in the oven Thea are edible cookie dough not cookies
Boy says
It should be a little greasy because of the butter but if it’s really bad try refrigeration. Refrigeration will firm the cookie dough and reduce greasiness.
Julie says
I made this recipe and it’s excellent!! Just need to know how to store it? In the fridge?
Molly Thompson says
Yes, store in the fridge for up to 3 days! Thanks!
Makayla says
I am very happy about how it turned out although the after taste was different but after I put it in the fridge for a while the after taste was a lot better. I really enjoyed this recipe.
Molly Thompson says
Thank you love to hear that!
lola smith says
tasted awesome!
Hayden Bolt says
i made it today and i got food poisoning. it also tasted like flower
Ava says
The flour must've made you sick because you didn't heat it properly.
ur mom says
then you obviously didn't follow the simple instructions correctly
inaaya says
hi molly i'm almost finished baking it but i don't know what temo to put the oven on or how long to leave it in there for?
Ellie says
You don't put it in the oven it's edible cookie dough, not cookies.
its me tour fav chef says
hey put it on maybe say 250 or 220
Lechia says
Hey Molly Can You Bake The Flour N The Oven Instead of Putting it N The Microwave Thank You
Molly Thompson says
Definitely! You can find some simple tutorials on google for how to do it in the oven. Thanks!
Roberto judus says
Salty and too much butter
gianelle says
I loved this recipe!! Edible cookie dough is my favorite sweet treat and I really liked this recipe for my craving! I followed all the instructions, and the key I found out to get it just right is patience. When it looked like it was a flop I just kept mixing and reading on, it turned out great after that. Also, my personal favorite way to eat it is to put it in Tupperware and freeze it. So yummy!!
Molly Thompson says
Thank you! So glad you loved it.
Holly Caldin says
Do we have to use mini chocolate chips for this recipe or can we just use Regular?😊 I didn't rate this recipe because I haven't tried it yet, I just have a Question
Molly Thompson says
You can use regular!
Molly says
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.
Gianna says
Same here
jess says
Mine was great !!
celeste Bouchard says
Mine turned out great, but I had to cut the measurements in half because I'm the only one in the house that likes o eat NY baking lmao
Molly Thompson says
Glad you liked it!!
Hannah Thib says
Haven’t tried it yet but I’d like to point out that there is 2 Ats in #3 sentence 2.
The cookie dough sounds great. ?
Nunya says
You SERIOUSLY had to point out a minor error in spelling?! I'm sure it was a typo, but while we're at it, YOUR post should say "there ARE", NOT "there is"! I hope you like to be called out on an error too. But at least hers was just a typo!! ?
Leesa says
I just made it and it is perfect...however I added 3tbs milk rather than 2
Matea says
Same here....
Hailee says
IT WAS SO BAD IM SO SORRY BUT I MADE THIS 10 TIMES AND IT ALL TURNED OUT THE SAME IT WAS JUST A PUFFY LOOKING NOTHING TASTING KIND OF COOKIE DOUGH but good job ? keep trying
Brendan says
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.
Molly Thompson says
Thank you so much for sharing this! Agree!
Jade says
Anyone who says it doesnt taste right is messing up the recipe because I just whipped it together and it's delicious. Super easy to make too. Thank you!
K8 says
same!!
nola says
yea this was disgusting. it barely tasted like anything, just kinda sweet? but not the good kind. wasn't good and a total waste of time. it also made WAY too much dough. horrible. don't do this.
Molly Thompson says
Hey there! Did you follow the recipe ingredients and instructions as written? I'd love to help troubleshoot. This recipe is great to take to a party, so I recommend halving this if it's just you or placing some in the freezer for later.
Tayla Fawkes says
Hi it was so good!
Molly Thompson says
Thanks, Tayla!
k9 says
it was very sweet. very rich, but pretty good.
Brendan says
no, people should do this it tastes amazing, and if you really
think it makes too much, then order it from vat19 or amazon.
Molly Thompson says
Thank you!!
N.w says
Cause u did it wrong. If u do it right it amazing. Also do some math and cut the recipe in half. No one wants to hear u complain.
din mammas kuk says
We completely agree! It sucks, we had to add sprinkles and cookies to make it edible. do not recommend. we ended up adding grenadine and ramen flavouring and even that tasted better than the original.
Taylar says
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.
Emily Mayo says
Awesome!! 🙂 About to make for the second time because it's already been too long without it!! I use this for baking cookies as well because my partner doesn't eat eggs..it's great. 🙂
Molly Thompson says
Thanks, Emily! Love to hear that!
Cade says
I just made it and it's gone!
Christine Vincent says
You can cook these??? Will they come out just like cookies because I made them and literally took a big mouthful and it’s just too sweet to eat raw plus it looks kinda greasy so maybe making it into cookies will help
Green Eggs & Ham says
Yup! I would cook them for like 10 min cuz that’s what I did. Also you have to let the. Cool other wise they still look like the raw version. Don’t be fooled!
Jenifer says
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.
Molly Thompson says
Let me know how it turned out! I've tested this recipe over and over and have never had this issue. What was the consistency of your butter?
Bugshine123 says
Maybe you did not add enough flour if you need to you can add more I am sorry it did not workout
Sheila says
If it is coming out like liquid, maybe your butter is melted instead of softened. You might have used too much milk as well.
Kylie says
One time I made edible cookie dough and we added too much salt. Is that your issue?
tay says
i need to try this on christmas
Noah says
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
Sophia says
Its delicious I definitely recommend
Sara says
It happened to me too
JONI says
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
Molly Thompson says
I'm sorry to hear that! It contains literally the exact same ingredients as cookies, minus the eggs. Heating the flour doesn't change the taste of it!
Addy says
Well I made it and I saw that it was super liquidy. I am putting it in the freezer to harden it.
Genevieve says
I have not made this yet, but I made homemade nutella chocolate chips. Is that OK to use instead of store bought chocolate chips?
Joe nuts says
You suck how dare you children are dying in Africa and your complaining about cookies you suck
Róisín says
Rhine turned out amazing tastes so good and delicious thanks.
Alice says
Amazing!
Kay says
Sameee ugh
Tay says
I love it!! But is it possible to use normal sugar instead of brown sugar?
Molly Thompson says
You could use normal sugar or coconut sugar!
barbara says
i agree it looks like chunky poop
chunky monkey i guess HAHAHAHAH
Bakers girl says
The first time I did it my flower got stuck together this time I did it for 20 seconds and it was really good and tasted like cookie dough.
Molly Thompson says
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Hi says
I had something similar it look different and didn't really taste good was ok
Hunter says
Me too!
M says
Me too. Also the recipe maybe has too much vanilla extract. Mine tastes so bitter now and I can’t mask it with sugar 🙁 I’m a bit disappointed i thought I followed this recipe before bc I already had all the ingredients. But it doesn’t taste the same, I only taste brown sugar and vanilla extract now. The last time it tasted like cookie dough it was delicious. I’m confused thnx for the recipe tho. It was nice trying 🙂
Human123 says
That is what is supposed to taste like
John Bartholomew Steven Jr. says
Ally thank you for this comment. I love you son. Ill do better next time. -John Bartholomew Steven Jr.
Niki says
Same!
Sarah says
I think I just did it wrong, but it was not a light brown, and it tasted not great, but not terrible. Again I think I did something wrong though.
Braydon says
Not good
Theodore Grand says
not true it was very good!
Hanna says
I know right!!
anon says
this recipe is awesome! im not very good at baking and i always seem to make it slightly wrong, yet it always tastes amazing! thank you molly 🙂
Molly Thompson says
Thank yoou!!
Aria says
Me to I did exactly but It came out like batter
amelia says
i came here to find a recipe not your life story. just put the recipe first no one cares about all that other sh1t.
Leila Mostaghimi says
I know I’m late to the party but I just wanted to say that I had the same problem and I added an extra 1/4 c of granulated sugar, which made it taste much better. It is just too salty otherwise.
Coreena says
This is so good! We made it on a hot summer day where we didn't want to turn the oven on. Ten out of ten will make again everyone loved it.
Molly says
LOVE to hear that, Coreena!! Thank you so much for sharing, I really appreciate it:)
Kim says
Yea, this turned out weird for me too. It didn't taste BAD, but just not like cookie dough.
Beth says
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.
Molly says
Hey Beth! Thanks so much for your feedback. Yes, definitely recommend using unsalted butter here it really makes a difference! I'm so glad you found a solution and thank you for taking the time to let me know:)
xo
Molly
Kat says
I used salted butter and didn't add any additional salt. It was amazing!!
Molly Leonard says
Hi Kat! So glad you thought so! Happy national cookie day?
Valin says
I did the same, and it was amazing, it didn't have the same texture as cookie dough,(I might have not put enough flour), but it still tasted really good. Is this cookie dough supposed to be refrigerated?
Molly Thompson says
Thanks for sharing! Yes, keep this in covered in the fridge!
Nay says
How long can this last in the fridge?
Molly Thompson says
Up to 5 days!
Sararose says
One of my favorite snacks is cookie dough. Being that I am pregnant, that has been off limits. I made this today for the first time and it is great! I still get my fix! It is really yummy!
Molly Leonard says
Hi Sararose! So glad you're still able to eat one of your favorites!
Kristie says
I made this with my 8 year old daughter today and it turned out great. I followed the instructions exactly and it wasn't too salty or sweet. Will use graham crackers to scoop and eat it. Just the recipe we were looking for! Thanks.
Molly Leonard says
Hi Kristie!! So so glad you like it! I've used graham crackers to scoop as well. And apples! Thank you so much for taking the time to share. Have a great holiday!
Hannah says
This always turns out awesome!!! Try making it with Heath bits and pecans!!!
Molly Leonard says
Hi Hannah:) Yummm, heath and pecans sounds perfect, especially for the holidays! I'll have to give that a try! Thanks for sharing❤️
Mdb7558 says
Yum!! Despite others who this didn't work out for, I thought this was delicious. A little smoother/softer texture than store bought, but the taste is there! Refrigerating before I began scarfing it down may have helped it harden a bit more...haha. I Will keep this recipe!
Molly Leonard says
Thanks for sharing! So glad you like it❤️
Katie says
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.
Molly Leonard says
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!
Megan says
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.
Molly Leonard says
Yep you can definitely heat treat the flour! Love it!
Sam says
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
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!
Sam says
The cream cheese? Thanks for the reply
Molly Leonard says
Oops! My brain was in Buckeye Dip mode! Which is also another delicious recipe:)
Mindy says
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!
Molly Leonard says
Hey Mindy!!
Best news ever! So glad my recipe could satisfy your craving, it's one of my faves. And thank you so much for sharing your subs/swaps I'll definitely keep those in mind.
❤️Molly
Mia Jensen says
Hi from Denmark!
I just made this, with my 13 year old daughter and it turned out perfect, soft creamy and perfect in texture. Did use salted butter and added salt, and it tastes too good 😛
Thank you for a very nice and easy recipe to follow <3
Molly Leonard says
Hey Mia!
Hello from Columbus, OH:) So glad it turned out great. Thanks for taking the time to let me know:)

Hi Molly!
We actually went to college together so when I found your blog I had to try a few things out! This cookie dough is AMAZING! Keep doing what you are doing!

Hey Molly, I can not wait to try this! It looks absolutely amazing!?
Molly Leonard says
I can't wait either, Amy! Let me know how it turns out.
Kilee says
I made this and it tasted like actually cookie dough I didn't use any salt or was perfect.
Molly Thompson says
Thanks, Kilee!! Glad you liked it!
Emily says
It’s more like whipped cookie flavoring? Not what I was looking for - but didn’t taste bad?
gordon ramsay says
bad clean your kitchen
Saige says
My cookie dough came out so good and its perfect for beginners
Every one at school loved it
Molly Thompson says
Thank you!!
Matea says
Very tasty, but it was extremely oily
JustAwesam1740 says
I followed the instructions and it turned out literally perfect, I plan to make this again soon 😀
Molly Thompson says
Love to hear that! Thanks!
Ki Li says
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
Molly Thompson says
Thanks for sharing!! So glad to hear you liked it!
Luke says
Delicious! 10/10 would make again...and again...and again! So easy and delicious!
Molly Thompson says
Thanks Luke!!
maddi garcia says
Amazing, all the reviews say it tasted nothing like cookie dough so I was worried, but it came out perfect! definitely going to recommend to friends and family!
Molly Thompson says
Thanks, Maddi! Appreciate you giving it a try and leaving a review:)
Kirsten says
I did everything I could, followed directions exactly, added more sugar, but it still tasted too much like flour.

Kayla says
Mine turned out great too! I did use a hand mixer, so needed to mix longer than the one minute time in step 2, to get the light and fluffy color. Yummy!
Molly Thompson says
Thanks, Kayla!
Lexi723 says
I had a bad day and decided it was a cookie dough and hallmark movie night.... this recipe was amazing, fast, and definately cheered me up! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Molly Thompson says
That makes me sooo happy!! Hope you're having a better day today!
Lucy says
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.
Kellie says
You've got to be kidding.
Patty says
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?
Molly Thompson says
Hi Patty! Did you use margarine rather than butter? That's probably the difference!
Patty says
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.
Madelyn says
I made it tonight with my niece and it is so good!!! I put heavy cream instead of milk and a little bit of water and it taste exactly like cookie dough!! Love it!!!
Molly Thompson says
Love that!
Isaac Kortz says
Tasted amazing!!! Best recipe I’ve ever used! Thank you!!

This recipe is AWESOME! My sister and I used it today for the very first time and it is amazing! We both agree that it tastes just like cookie dough (without all of the salmonella, lol)! So awesome being able to make this at home. Thank you so much for this recipe, we love it!!!
Molly Thompson says
You're so welcome, Miranda!!
Danielle says
Tasted awesome, thank you!
Molly Thompson says
You're welcome!
Reina says
Awesome blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
I'm planning to start my own website soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
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 ..
Any suggestions? Cheers!
Chelsea says
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!!
Sharla says
My son and I made this and it was excellent! Very sweet and rich so you don't want to eat too much at once lol. Will definitely make again. Just wondering how long it is good for when stored in the refrigerator...
Sophia says
My friend made this on facetime during our study break and it looked shocking, she's not a good cook but ew this was so bad she said it was really gross. She threw up minutes after eating it, sorry but don't recommend this recipe! She had to throw it away....but don't worry she's fine! All the other recipes on this blog are incredible though so definitely try those! <3
Maya says
really good. took like 10 minutes to make. family loved it.
Molly Thompson says
Thanks, Maya!
Serenity Luker says
Turned out AMAZING! I didn't use unsalted butter, I used salted but still came out very well! Baking it right now!
Serenity Luker says
Baked out fine, trying to get that soft-gooey type and still had the cookie dough in the middle but I kinda liked it hahah
Bidgette says
What kind of salt is needed? Since there are multiple kinds?
Aoife says
How long will this last? Do I store it in the fridge ?
Molly Thompson says
Store it covered in the fridge! It will last up to 5 days!
Aoife says
Amazing thank you one more question if thats ok, can it be frozen?
Molly Thompson says
I haven't tried it but I think it would work! Just thaw it overnight in the fridge before eating!
None of your business says
Taste amazing! Our flour turned clumpy though
San Diego Plumber try this website says
Thanks , I've recently been looking for info about this subject for a long time and yours is the best I've found out so far. But, what in regards to the bottom line? Are you certain concerning the source?
Weezy says
My daughter and I had a blast making this. She says it is "the best cookie dough in the world." (The drama)
Quick question. If we use a portion for baking the cookies, should we add an egg and baking soda?
GiGi says
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.
Nai says
This tasted great! It's also so easy to veganize it, just use dairy-free chocolate and any plant based milk!
Molly Thompson says
Great idea!!
Lisa says
I made this and it was delicious!
Is there anything I can add after the fact to bake them like cookies? I know that’s not the original purpose of the recipe. Just curious. 🙂
Molly Thompson says
People have baked the dough as is and they've turned out! I would try that!
Jaelyn says
My family loves this and we bake them at 350 for 25-27 and they taste chewy and crispy so good. How long can it last though?
Canadian says
Very good!! Ate the entire thing and can't wait to feel sick later lmao

Akari says
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!
Molly Thompson says
You're welcome! So glad you like it!!

I made this with vegan butter (im allergic to dairy and eggs) and the texture came out a little weird, so fellow vegan/allergy sensative people i would recommend not adding the milk. Lol our weird fake butter will add enough moisture to replace it.
10/10 delicious and easy! Tragically i ate the whole thing in one sitting so i feel terrible but i will be making more tomorrow!
Ps does anyone have tips on microwaving the flour? I tried to stir it a few times throughout to make sure it didnt clump but it still gets really stuck to the sides of the bowl
Bella says
Hi I'm 11 i made this for my sister and me without a problem it tastes amazing and doesn't take that long. Thanks

Hi, this was soooo good, but I’m just wondering how many calories there are in this cookie dough?
Molly Thompson says
Hey there! Glad to hear that:) There's about 225 calories in 1/4 cup.
Sophia says
Hello!
This looks absolutely delicious! Could I replace the butter with yogurt or unsweetened applesauce?
Thank you!
Molly Thompson says
Hi Sophia! I wouldn't sub it with applesauce or yogurt or you'll have a weird texture. Those sub only really work when you're baking the dough in things. I would sub vegan butter!
Catherine says
Hello! How much does every serving make? I'm making it for my class I need to feed 12. Which one would I choose? x1, x2, x3? Thank you!
Molly Thompson says
Hey Catherine! I would double the recipe and that should be plenty for 12!
Rose says
So good!!! I even tried putting some dough in a ramekin at 350 for 8 minutes and it was soft, had a slight crunch in the outside, and it was very yummy. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!
Molly Thompson says
That sounds amazing!!
Anna says
If you’re looking for an edible cookie dough recipe, look no further! This recipe definitely delivers. The only problem I have with it, is that now I need to figure out how to portion control it ??? SO yummy. Thank you!
Alivia says
I don’t usually leave reviews, but I LOVE this recipe. I’ve used it for months. Since the start of the pandemic and being at home, I have tried many different cookie dough recipes. But most of them just don’t taste right. This one is PERFECT. Now without doubt I always use this recipe. Probably too often, because I am addicted to this stuff. I even had a friend convince me to try her cookie dough recipe which she loves, but it was nothing compared to this. Next time she comes over we’re making this recipe!!
Kyle says
Awesome recipe! I think the only thing I messed up was adding the milk after the flour, maybe I should’ve waited ‘till the flour cooled, as the dough became very wet, but hey it tasted just like actual cookie dough! Also for those reading I had cooked my flour above the listed temp (which was fine) but I probably should’ve waited to add my chocolate chips too, until the flour cooled, as the chocolate melted a little. My mistakes, but 10/10 this tasted so good!
Melissa says
Really not sure what happened as I followed all the instructions. The mixture turned out okay however I spent the whole night throwing up and I am now extremely ill. Not sure if I ate too much of it or what Would definitely recommend cooking the mixture after and only eating a very small amount as it did taste good.
Rebecca says
I tried this and it didn't work to well the only problem for me was the milk amount, instead of what the recipe called for I used about 1/3 cup of milk or 1/2 a cup, hopefully that works!
Kourtney Parker says
Awesome!.
Angie says
its ok, the brown sugar is a little strong but thats ok! i suggest doing a bit less of it but its super good made this around 10 minutes ago. thank you!!!
Jacob says
Mine seemed to work out well!!
Farmers Wife says
Ive made this about a dozen times now with no issues. I don't heat treat the flour, because I like to live dangerously! Have also used almod flour in place of tegular flour (1:1) to make gluten free treats for a family member.
Anyone who says this makes too much....who ever heard of too much cookie!! We pre-scoop and hide them in the freezer!
Rebecca Iser says
Awesome Recipe! I needed a fast treat dor a party snack and this was perfect! The dough took a little bit to form..but the result was great! Super Tasty, Thanks Molly! 🙂
L says
My boyfriend and I tried making this on two separate occasions, we followed the instructions to the T and both times it came out disgusting. Essentially it just tasted like very sweet flour, and the consistency was all wrong. From the other comments I’ve seen a lot of people are having the same issues, even though everyone is following the recipe correctly. We won’t be trying this again, an we wish we hadn’t wasted our baking materials on this
Rebecca says

This was delicious! I am quite young and could make it easily! This recipe is 5 stars and does not call for much!

Love that, Jane!
R T says
"Heat treat your flour by placing it in a microwave safe bowl and heating on high for 50-60 seconds until the internal temperature reaches 166°F."
After reading the comments above, I think this is where people are having issues with the recipe. Depending on how touchy their microwave is, they might need to put it in for 20-30 seconds, stir the flour thoroughly, and repeat until 165/166 is hit.
It was confirmed in one of the posts that if you burn the flour, the flavor will not be what you are expecting.
It was also confirmed that if you do not microwave the flour, you also risk food poisoning.
Anonymous User says
Hello! So I was wondering if you needed to heat up the flour. I'm going to made a video while making this, so lemme know!

Thank you Molly so much! I am only a pre teen and making this was amazing! Now me and my friends can eat it and have a great time! Thank you Molly!
Molly Thompson says
You're welcome!!
Eric says
can I not heat treat the flour? i dont have any oven or microwave with me and i would like to ask what would happen if you eat flour as it is and also if you heat treat the flour will it taste the same as the one not heat treated? thanks a lot for the recipe will try it out soon
Molly Thompson says
Hey Eric! Heat treating the flour is a precaution to avoid salmonella. Sometimes flour that isn't heat treated is a risk for that. I've made this without heat treating it (doesn't change the taste). I would leave that up to your discretion if you feel comfortable doing it. Thanks!
Luc says
Best cookie dough I've ever made/had. Most cookie doughs get really crumbly but this one is great! If you want to make a great cookie dough here it is!
Molly Thompson says
Thank you!! Glad you love it.
Vlad Toia says
Idk what I did wrong , looks like bread crumbs
Molly Thompson says
Try adding more milk a tablespoon at a time. You might just need some more moisture!
Tisha Lee says
Taste and looks just like cookie dough. Followed instructions exactly turned out perfect.

This turned out awesome! I sieved my flour after microwaving and switched out the vanilla for Amaretto. Delicious 🙂
Isabel says
Five stars!
Molly Thompson says
Thank you!!
Molly Thompson says
Love amaretto!! Thank you Isabel!
Chocoluver9000 says
Why use the wee sizes of chocolate. Why not the dark, rich, smooth large chunks of brown delight and bliss. Why must I minimize the aural bliss of a small piece of delight when you could easily exchange it for something much more. Something unexplainable. Something, spectacular.
Idk I think it's kinda wack to use small pieces of chocolate? is there a real reason for that?
Gemma says
i loved it! so creamy! 10/10, i TOTALLY advise you to make!!!! Thank you so much for this delicious cookie dough!
Molly Thompson says
YAY thank you!!!!
Annette Coleman says
I make my icecream from scratch, will this work to use for chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream?
Annette Coleman says
This was supposed to be in the first email, but my phone wasn't cooperative...
You mentioned the recipe was good for up to three days in the fridge, i am making an ice cream cake and using the cookie dough for the cookie dough ice cream components, will it still be ok to eat as long as the cake is stored in the freezer until it is finished?
Annette Coleman says
This was supposed to be in the first email, but my phone wasn't cooperative...
You mentioned the recipe was good for up to three days in the fridge, i am making an ice cream cake and using the cookie dough for the cookie dough ice cream components,how long should it be in the refrigerator before shaping it into little bits for cookie dough ice cream?
Molly Thompson says
Hi Annette! You can leave it in the fridge for a few days or if it's going to be longer, you can throw it in the freezer to last longer then let it thaw overnight in the fridge so you can shape it. You could also make the edible cookie dough and shape it into balls right away then place it in the fridge or freezer until you're ready to make the cake. I actually have a homemade cookie dough ice cream recipe on my website using this edible cookie dough. Great minds think alike:) Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Edana says
Hey Molly! Do you cream the butter with both the brown sugar and sugar? Thanks!
Molly Thompson says
Yes you do! Thanks!
tess says
I bake this every single Thursday with my brother because I babysit him and we both love it so much
Molly Thompson says
Thanks, Tess! So glad you love it!
Madeleine says
it tasted like paste with no flavour, and had a flour aftertaste. I followed the instructions perfectly though. 🙁
Julian says
I LOVED it. It was a little salty though and my mom didn't really like it but for me it was a thumbs up\
Molly Thompson says
Thanks, Julian! Love that!
Yanel Silverio says
I kinda liked it maybe not maybe yes I don’t really know it was kinda greasy and had an flourish taste to it which I didn’t liked much but it was kinda good I guess.
Lydia says
why is it so greasy? i had a taste and now my stomach kills. I heat treated the flour too.
Judy Lamantia says
Lydia, I haven't made this, but I do bake a lot. My guess that yours was greasy was because the flour hadn't cooled to room temperature before adding it to the butter-sugar mixture, making the butter melt.
Jennifer says
How many calories is this cookie dough?

I was wondering the same thing.
Teagan Woon says
made this dough last night after craving cookie dough all day. It was perfect! I’ll definitely be keeping this recipe. Thanks so much☺️
Bella says
Loved it!
Penelope says
This stuff was great 10/10 would recommend
Molly Thompson says
Thanks Penelope!
andrea de loppinot says
very good recipe... love it !! can't stop make it !!!
Molly Thompson says
Thank you!!
Rebekah says
I enjoyed this recipe! Very tasty. I do think it tastes a bit floury. Overall very good. Thanks 🙂
Sad dad says
Honestly due to how much this recipe both makes and tastes like flour... I will probably just stick to making traditional cookie dough, eating a portion of it and cooking the rest like I have been for years....
Rachel says
It’s was so good u should make it sometime
Holly Caldin says
HI I looked at the reviews and noticed that some people were having problems with heat treating the flour. I recommend using oat or almond flour as it does not have to be heat treated and can be eaten raw. It shouldn't change the texture or consistency of the dough at all.
??? says
Very noice
CookyCook says
Absolutely delicious! But definitely had to add more milk. why bother making cookies when you can make this!
Scarlet Clark says
Don’t leave the flour to cool for too long as it goes rock solid
Kaylee says
Me and a friend made this we did everything right but it turned out horrible it was nothing like cookie dough DO NOT TRY THIS RECIPE
Saphina says
Me and a friend made this we did everything right but it turned out horrible it was nothing like cookie dough DO NOT TRY THIS RECIPE
Deli says
You probably didn’t put enough milk no I am 99.9999 percent sure you didn’t put enough milk, even though it say 2 tablespoons of milk it ALSO says more if needed and before I put in more milk mine was weird and crumbly and wasn’t really cookie dough
Maeve and Jade says
It was delicious, but it didn’t really come together into a dough. (Was not a big deal) I feel like I don’t have a say in this because I am 12 and my friend that helped is 11 and we had no adult help so yeah. But I would any day make this again and I suggest you make it! Have a nice day.
Carol says
Me and my besties made this cookie dough and we did EVERYTHING RIGHT but after we ate it we felt like BADUSSY. We are currently all stuck on the toilet with explosive diarrhea AND we are EXTREMELY bloated. I do NOT recommend this recipe AT ALL!
Pam says
There's nothing in it to cause diarrhea, did you put eggs?? I've eaten plenty of it with no issues, maybe some weight gain 🤣🤣
Kellie says
Or you didn’t heat the flower or you just ate a bunch idk how that happened
missy says
easy and delicioius! My 13 year old did it on his own!
Simone KJ says
Just made this for myself as a treat and it’s so good. Especially refrigerated for a little. Thanks for posting this recipe!!! 1000/10 do recommend.
I found it didn’t come to a dough but still perfect.
Chloe says
Definitely far too much flour — you can really taste it over the general “cookie flavor” even after I’d let the dough sit in the fridge a while to let the flavors meld and get all nice the way I would normal cookie dough before baking. Next time I do this I may use a different recipe or increase the amount of creamed butter and sugar, as well as increase the amount brown sugar to hopefully balance out just how much flour there is
Amy says
This turned out amazing!!!!
Ava says
it looked and tasted very greasy!
Pam says
Thanks for the recipe, it was great!!!! The only changes I made were , flour in the oven 350f for 5 minutes, no salt and I used regular chocolate chips. Was simple to make, just wish it lasted longer 🤣😂🤣😂
Heidi says
So delicious and easy to make! My whole family kept asking if we had more when it was all gone! 10/10 will be making this again
Molly Thompson says
Thanks, Heidi!!
Kobe allen says
It's really good and juice wrld came in and said he would take a few minutes
Jess says
Very yummy, I didn’t heat treat the flour but obviously proceed at your own risk if you aren’t going to. I did think it was way too much butter, so I’m going to try to find a different recipe next time.
JACK.A says
It is really quite nice and fat and sloppy times 3 makes a big batch. Worth it, TASTES AMAZIN!!

Jeremy Lawson says
I made it for my dog it was so good he started flopping on the ground
Thank you so much molly
Nellie says
I don’t think you should give cookie dough to dogs…
Niki says
I did everything the recipe said but it didn’t work out, it’s really sticky and doesn’t look anything like cookie dough, no matter how many times I’ve added more flower the consistency doesn’t change. What do I do?
lama says
this is so easy so good and fast
Frank says
Great cookie dough can be used for school fundraising moms and dads in the PTA. Very informative. Thanks.
Danielle says
Taste good but mine was super greasy
Sarah says
I think I just did it wrong, but it was not a light brown, and it tasted not great, but not terrible. Again I think I did something wrong though.
Molly Thompson says
Sorry to hear that, Sarah! Did you use light brown sugar or dark brown? I'd give it another try!
Michaella says
Very good taste and you can add it to ice cream 10/10
Michaella says
Very good taste and you can add it to ice cream 10/10 absolutely delicious
Molly Thompson says
Thank you!!!
Jasmine says
This recipe was so good! I heated my flour for 30 more seconds in the microwave. Next time, I would let the mixture cool in the fridge or feeezer before adding chocolate chips—they melted when I mixed them in.
Molly Thompson says
Thanks, Jasmine!!!
Liam says
Love it!!! I made it and it tastes perfect!! Keep at it!!!
Molly Thompson says
Thanks Liam!
Valerie says
Excellent! I have made this several times and it is delicious! My kids love it!!
Molly Thompson says
Thank you, Valerie!
Courtney says
So good!!!
I will be making this again
Molly Thompson says
Thanks, Courtney!!
May says
So so good! Though the flour got kind of hard when put in the microwave to heat treat it. Do you think less time will make it less hard?
Boyfriend and I can't stop ourselves from eating it, might become a problem! xD
Thank you so much for this recipe.
Myles says
tastes so good– when you get the measurements right. on my first try i put triple the amount of salt needed, measuring in tablespoons not teaspoons. but it tastes great on my second batch.
Myles says
my third batch-the chocolate chips melted in the boiling butter! It turned deep brown. :0
Sadie says
Why was the butter so hot?? It should be solid, but soft. Do NOT microwave or melt it...
Myles says
myles is a WEIRDO! LIKE ME!
Claire Pfeifer says
AWFUL IT ENDED UP CRUMBLY AND GROSS
Molly Thompson says
Hey Claire! Appreciate the feedback. Did you measure everything correctly or miss any ingredients? The end of the recipe notes to add more or less milk to reach the right consistency. This is helpful because people's measurements can vary so much. Thanks!
JJ says
so good! i recommend popping it into the freezer for a little beforehand so it gets cold
Angie D says
My teenager begs me to whip up a batch often! I start slow on the milk and only add as I want the consistency to change. Great recipe and grateful for the soul nourishing yumminess!
Molly Thompson says
Welcome!!
Christina Schneider says
It is sweet and savory a total time use up but in a good way.
Carly Ermitage says
I make this cookie dough all the time!! It’s great for eating at home or for bringing to a gathering as a crowd-pleaser!! It’s also super easy to make different flavors by mixing in different things. After years of use, I figured it’s time to rate this recipe with the credit it deserves!!
B says
Mine turned out spot on!
I used exactly 2 tablespoons of milk.
Bianca says
Made this as a movie snack yesterday and it was delicious! I made half the recipe and needed a tiny splash more milk but that is probably my preference for super soft cookie dough or me halving the recipe. If you love stealing some cookie dough out of the bowl then you will love this recipe. It is sweet as cookie dough but the salt helps cutting trough that sweetness so you can keep on snacking without it being to sweet
Sadie says
Great dough! I'm putting it in ice cream. I didn't add milk. My go-to (baked) choco chip cookie recipe does not have eggs or milk, so if the dough comes together without it, nix it.
I think the people saying it came out like a liquid may have either melted their butter(it should be solid, but soft/spreadable), didn't let the flour cool off, or both!
Maybe you should add that as a note -- let the flour cool off. Otherwise it may melt everything including the chocolate chips. Common sense here, people...
Lexi says
Me and my good friend made it today tasted like cum but swallowed it anyway

Just made it here on Father's Day and my wife caught me twice eating it before dinner Love it, it turned out awesome!

Alright but can feel the sugar and butter. Cant do without chocolate!

Scar says
Procrastinating on school work and looking for something to munch on I made this. Never in my life have I made something so delicious, so delectable. This is truely the best cookie dough ever. I really don’t know if it was just me but it was so airy and fluffy and I’m shoving it down my throat as I type this. I’ll never enjoy something more than this cookie dough.
Ellie says
I made this and my family said it was the best cookie dough they have ever had! And I agreed! I know that this comment is pretty short but that’s just how I feel about it!
Shelly says
I LOVE IT SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MICH IT IS THE BEST COOKIE DOUGH I HAVE EVER HAD!!!! And I am being completely serious!
Shelly says
I meant to out five stars, still love it!
Empress says
Meh, it's okay. From my research on edible cookie dough, nothing is going to taste quite as good as the real thing. But it's okay. A little too sweet.
Cricket winters says
I made this a 2 am very good will make agian
