Cookie dough, made safe for eating! With heat-treated flour and no eggs, this edible cookie dough for 1 recipe is perfect for snacking on.
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.
- It is completely safe to eat! There are ZERO eggs and no raw flour, so it’s essentially CDC approved.
- It is super easy to make. Like the ‘your kid can whip this up’ kind of easy.
- 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!
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the heat-treated flour and a pinch of salt to the mixture and fold until well combined.
- 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.

So good! Love this recipe. Just curious if its nutrition facts are for the full recipe or just half considering it serves two. Will definitely make again!
It should be per serving!

Sooooo good! Love the photos. (so cute!!) defo will look at more things to make on here!!!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you loved this recipe (it’s one of my faves).
Great recipe, I’ve made it lots of times with different add-ins and variations. One thing though, the slider option to double, triple, etc. the amount does not work. At 2 servings it says 1/4 cup flour but at 4 servings it says 2 cup, which is quadrupole the amount, not double.
Thank you for sharing! I will check the code on my recipe.
This is literally the best cookie dough I’ve ever had!!!! I made it last night for the first time and it was so nice I had to make it again today. It’s so quick and easy, and the texture and taste is like no other cookie dough. Thank you for this recipe!! 🙂
so I did most of the measurements and it tasted fine, the only thing I changed is instead of brown sugar I used light brown sugar and I eyes some of the ingredients!! yummy! c:
