Recipe for Edible Cookie Dough

Developing cookie recipes has been my full time job for 7 years and my passion for many more.  But would you believe that I don’t eat raw cookie dough? I know, I know, it’s shocking.

But all that really means is that I’ve spent many years working on the perfect recipe for edible cookie dough. And after many iterations, I’ve created an eggless, completely safe to eat cookie dough that tastes just as good as the real thing! This is that recipe, just paired down to be single-serving, so you can treat yourself whenever you’d like.

There are four main things you need to know about this recipe for edible cookie dough. 

  1. It is completely safe to eat! There are ZERO eggs and no raw flour, so it’s essentially CDC approved. 
  2. It is super easy to make. Like the ‘your kid can whip this up’ kind of easy. 
  3. This cookie dough recipe makes the perfect amount for one person. Enough to satisfy the craving without being too much. And bonus, if you’re feeling charitable and want to share, this recipe doubles so well!
  4. Most importantly, IT IS SO DELICIOUS.

Ingredients in Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

You’ll find the ingredients for this single-serving cookie dough to be very similar to your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe (just without the eggs + heat-treated flour!).

  • Softened Butter – You’ll want to make sure your butter is room temperature. This helps it mix well with the sugars.
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Brown Sugar – Brown sugar is what gives the cookie dough the perfect caramel-y cookie flavor.
  • Milk – Using a tiny bit of milk compensates for the liquid we lose by not including eggs in the dough. Dairy-free milk alternatives will work as well.
  • Vanilla – This really brings the cookie dough together (from a flavor & texture standpoint).
  • All-Purpose Flour – We will heat-treat this flour so it is safe to eat!
  • Salt
  • Mini Chocolate Chips- I like to use mini chocolate chips in this cookie dough recipe for 1. It helps you get a bit of chocolate in every bite! But feel free to sub your favorite chocolate chips, if desired.

How to Make Edible Cookie Dough for One

  1. Start by heat-treating the flour. You will do this by pouring the flour into a bowl and popping it into the microwave for 30 seconds.
  2. While the flour is being treated, add the softened butter and sugars to a separate bowl and mix with a fork until it is light and fluffy. Stir in the milk and vanilla and continue to mix.
  3. Add the heat-treated flour and a pinch of salt to the mixture and fold until well combined.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips and ENJOY YOUR COOKIE DOUGH!

How to Store Leftover Cookie Dough

Store any leftover cookie dough in the fridge for up to 5 days! Just pull it out of the fridge 5-10 minutes before eating to allow it to get soft again.

You can also freeze this dough – place in an airtight container or baggie and freeze for up to a month.

Can the eggless cookie dough be baked?

No, no, no. (I know some will still be tempted to try, but trust me.) This recipe has zero leavening agents which means it will not bake, it will just spread and be a mess.

    Sorry I commented just before but, I just realised I only did white sugar and no brown sugar (on accident) it still tasted amazing! And I only realised when I went back to make more.
    I’m not adding in brown sugar because my teeth will probs fall out from how many times I’m making this.
    It still sooo good… THANKS

    1. Yay! So glad you enjoyed it. You can definitely freeze it – I just recommend enjoying within a month or two!
