ingredients in edible cookie dough laid out on a white counter.

Ingredients Needed

  • Butter: for this recipe I use softened unsalted butter, but you can use salted butter and omit the addes salt.
  • Sugar: just like my favorite cookies, we are using a combination of granulated and light brown sugar
  • Milk: this is used for binding in place of egg
  • All-purpose flour: if you don’t want to eat raw flour, did you know you can bake flour for putting in edible cookie dough? Heat treated flour is pasteurized and safe to eat raw.
  • Your favorite add-ins, like semi-sweet chocolate chips – see below for ideas.

How to Pasteurize Flour

Just like how raw eggs can be full of harmful bacteria like salmonella, flour can also harbor bacteria. To make it safe to eat raw, you just need to toast it in the oven. You can pasteurize it by baking it on a baking sheet for 5 minutes at 350°F. Read my post about how to pasteurize flour here.

  • The process is just like making regular cookie dough that you bake. Cream the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
  • Mix in the salt, vanilla, and milk.
  • Once the mixture is smooth, add the flour and then mix in your add-ins.
  • To serve it, you can scoop it like ice cream and serve it in bowls. Or, serve it in one bowl as a dip.

Cookie Dough Mix-Ins

  • White chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or butterscotch chips
  • Make chocolate chip cookies with basic chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips or even white chocolate.
  • Nuts – basically any chopped nuts that you like!
  • M&Ms – M&M cookies are great, so is cookie dough with them (or a mini m&m cookie dough)!
  • Chopped candy like chocolate bars, chocolate mints, or other candy you like
  • Chopped pretzels for a salty-sweet treat
  • Mini marshmallows or raisins
  • Sprinkles

For this recipe, you can add up to 1 ½ cups of add-ins that you like. Feel free to mix and match to create your own unique edible cookie dough.

FAQs

Can you bake edible cookie dough?

Technically you can, but it won’t be like a cookie if you do. Without eggs and baking soda, it won’t bake properly.

How do you leave eggs out of dough to eat it?

 Substitute milk for the eggs to make cookie dough safe to eat.

Is it safe to eat raw flour?

To be totally safe, I recommend baking flour first before adding it to your cookie dough. It only takes five minutes, and it will kill any bacteria that are in the raw flour.

Dive into a bowl of this creamy, dreamy edible vegan cookie dough! Made with dairy-free plant-based ingredients, it’s packed with rich chocolate chips and ready to satisfy your cravings in the tastiest way possible.

Vegan Cookie Dough

Sure, cookies are tasty. But give us cookie dough any day! That gooey, salty sweet texture mixed with the crunch of the chocolate chips is the ultimate treat. Turns out, there’s no dairy needed. Try this vegan cookie dough, absolutely dreamy using only plant-based ingredients! The flavor and texture are exactly what you (and we) crave. Mix a few ingredients together and cozy up to this bowl of vegan dessert heaven!

There’s no way to spin it: vegan cookie dough is not healthy or wholesome. However, it is a craveable vegan dessert that’s absolutely worth the splurge when you’re looking for a treat. You’ll use a few simple ingredients to whip up this dairy-free goodness. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • All-purpose flour: Heat treat the flour for best safety (see below). For gluten-free, use almond flour.
  • Brown sugar: Brown sugar is key to the flavor; do not substitute granulated sugar here.
  • Vegan butter or refined coconut oil: Vegan butter is our pick, but coconut oil works too. We recommend refined coconut oil, since it has a more neutral coconut flavor.
  • Vanilla extract: Vanilla is key to the cookie dough flavor!
  • Kosher salt: Add another pinch of salt to balance the flavor if you’re using coconut oil.
  • Dairy free dark chocolate chips: Our favorite brand is Guittard 63% dark chocolate chips, which are marked dairy-free on the package.
Vegan Cookie Dough

Vegan cookie dough is very easy to make. All you need is a bowl and a spoon: no special equipment at all! Here are the basic steps:

  • Step 1: If you’re using all purpose flour, heat treat it (see the section below).
  • Step 2: Soften the butter in a microwave, then mix it with brown sugar with a spoon. Brown sugar is key to the robust flavor, so don’t substitute another type of sweetener.
  • Step 3: Mix in the flour, vanilla, salt, milk and chocolate chips! Store refrigerated or frozen rolled into balls.

Why and how to heat treat flour

Most edible cookie dough recipes recommend heat treating the flour. We know, it’s not fun to add this extra step of turning on your oven when you’re not even baking! To be honest, we often skip this step. But here’s why it’s recommended for food safety:

  • Flour is sold as a raw ingredient intended to be cooked, so there’s not a regulated process to remove bacteria in flour manufacturing.
  • To heat treat flour, spread it on a baking sheet and bake at 300°F until the temperature reaches 165°F. This should take about 5 minutes.
  • Cool the flour completely before using. Do not attempt to use the hot flour in cookie dough, since this affects the texture of the dough.

Remember: don’t bake it!

Don’t try baking this vegan cookie dough: it’s optimized for snacking on, not baking! For vegan chocolate chip cookies, head to our Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe.

Small serving sizes are key

The one thing we’ll say about vegan cookie dough: the serving size is fairly small. One cookie typically satisfies us, but when it comes to cookie dough it’s hard to stop eating spoonfuls. Here’s what to know about serving size:

  • The serving size is 1 tablespoon. That’s right! All you need is a few bites.
  • This recipe makes 20 servings, so cut it in half if desired. This way you won’t be temped to eat more.
  • Freeze rolled into balls. Or, you can freeze half the batch so you can save for later.

Storage info

Vegan cookie dough lasts well in the refrigerator, and it also works frozen as noted above. Here’s what to know about storing this treat:

  • Refrigerator: You can keep it up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
  • Freezer: This is our preferred method! Roll it into balls and place them on a cookie sheet, then freeze until solid (about 30 minutes). Transfer to a container and they last about 2 to 3 months.

Want to make your own cookie dough ice cream with any flavor? Make this vegan cookie dough into small dollops and freeze them. Then stir them into any purchased vegan ice cream or this homemade vegan ice cream. (We love chocolate ice cream with cookie dough, so this is the best way to do it!) Follow the instructions in our homemade Cookie Dough Ice Cream.

Description

Dive into a bowl of this creamy, dreamy edible vegan cookie dough! Made with dairy-free plant-based ingredients, it’s packed with rich chocolate chips and ready to satisfy your cravings in the tastiest way possible.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white all-purpose flour (for gluten-free, use almond flour)
  • ½ cup brown sugar (do not substitute granulated)
  • ½ cup softened vegan butter, or melted refined coconut oil*
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ⅓ cup dairy free dark chocolate chips (we like Guittard 63%)

Instructions

  1. Heat treat the all-purpose flour to prevent bacteria growth (optional): Preheat the oven to 300°F. Place the flour on a baking sheet and bake for 4 to 6 minutes until the temperature reaches 165°F, checking every few minutes with a food thermometer. Cool completely before using (be patient: if the flour is warm the texture of the cookie dough will suffer).
  2. Mix the butter and sugar: Soften the butter in the microwave for about 10 seconds until just soft. Mash it with a fork with the brown sugar until fully incorporated. 
  3. Make the cookie dough: Mix in all the other ingredients, using as much milk as you’d like to bring it together into a thick or smoother texture. Eat immediately, or store refrigerated for 1 week or roll into balls and store frozen for 3 months. Don’t bake this cookie dough: for bake-able dough, go to our Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies. 

Notes

*If using coconut oil, add another pinch of salt.
