This easy recipe for edible chocolate chip cookie dough is safe to snack on as a new favorite sweet treat. It contains no egg and the flour is heat-treated so you get to dig right in!
While I love a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie, snacking on the cookie dough has to be the best part, right? That’s why I had to share this edible cookie dough recipe on Laura’s Bakery.
It’s completely safe to eat with no eggs and heat-treated flour. Enjoy it as a quick and easy snack or use it to make other sweet recipes, such as a chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream or these holiday-inspired Cookie Dough Easter Eggs.
This choc chip cookie dough is no ordinary cookie dough. You’ll see that the ingredients don’t include raw eggs (making it totally safe to eat without the risk of salmonella) and I also show you how to heat-treat the flour to kill harmful bacteria. Check out the full details in the recipe card below.
Start by heat-treating the flour. We do this by spreading the untreated flour on a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper, and bake for 5 minutes at 350°F/180˚C (conventional oven). Allow it to cool slightly before moving on.
Cream the butter and sugar and continue to combine the rest of the ingredients, including the treated flour, as per the recipe card until a crumbly dough forms.
Lastly, mix in the chocolate chips well and knead the dough by hand for it to come together. At this stage, you can either shape the dough into small balls or store it in an airtight jar or container to store for later.
This edible cookie dough is easy to store in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container.
Absolutely! This cookie dough also stores well in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Whether you’re trying to avoid using the oven or just want a quick and easy snack, these no-bake recipes will satisfy those sweet cravings.
There are risks associated with eating raw flour, as bacteria can bind to it. Heating the flour first in the oven eliminates exposure to any existing bacteria, making this raw cookie dough totally safe to eat. Don’t skip this step!
This edible cookie dough is not intended for baking. While you technically could bake it, you won’t get cookies as tasty as you’re used to with chocolate chip cookies. I actually developed this recipe to be raw, not for baking. If you want to bake the most delicious chocolate chip cookies, I can recommend these recipes:
This cookie dough is delicious as a stand-alone sweet treat. That said, you could also use it as a cookie dough base for cheesecakes or dessert pies and tarts. Add it to ice cream or shape it and coat in melted chocolate for decadent truffles and festive no-bake recipes, such as these Easter cookie dough eggs.
Absolutely! This recipe contains no eggs and the flour is heat-treated first before being combined with the rest of the ingredients.
Definitely! Try chopped mini eggs, sprinkles, or peanut butter chips for variation.
