Eggless Cookie Dough ingredients

This is an overview of the ingredients needed to make edible chocolate chip cookie dough. Find the full recipe with the ingredient amounts below in the recipe card.

  • UNSALTED butter(softened) – keeps the dough rich, held together and with that cookie dough flavor
  • brown sugar and granulated sugar – these sweeten the cookie dough
  • vanilla extract – adds a nice flavor
  • whole milk – this replaces any eggs in the cookie dough, to add extra liquid. You can use your favorite dairy free milk as well.
  • salt – adds a nice flavor to balance out the sweetness. If you are using salted butter SKIP the extra salt
  • all purpose flour – heat treat your flour by zapping it in the microwave in 30 second increments (1 minute total), or cooking it in the oven to reduce any risks
  • chocolate chips – I love using mini chocolate chips so they are more spread throughout the dough

How to make Edible Cookie Dough

  1. Cream together the butter and sugars. Add your butter, brown sugar, and sugar to a small bowl and mix them together for a couple minutes. Add in the vanilla extract and milk and stir until combined.
  2. Add in the dry ingredients. Add in the salt, and flour, and mix until you have a nice soft cookie dough. If the dough is too soft, or thin add a little more flour. If it’s too dry, add a dash more of milk.
  3. Add in the chocolate chips. Stir in the chocolate chips and enjoy the bowl right away, or stick it in the fridge for 10 minutes, then enjoy. You can also roll the dough into balls and eat those, or pop them in the fridge or freezer for whenever you need a bite of cookie dough.

Tips and Tricks:

  • Heat treat the flour. Microwave your flour in 30 second increments, stirring after each, until hot throughout (it only takes about 1 minute in my experience), or bake extra and store it until needed at 350 F on a rimmed cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, until the flour reaches an internal temperature of 160 F. Let the flour cool for about 10 minutes before using in the cookie dough
  • Extra Mix Ins – Make the cookie dough with whatever add ins you enjoy, try pretzels, white chocolate chips, sprinkles, Oreo cookie pieces, or whatever you might enjoy.
  • Cookie dough Truffles – Use this cookie dough, and roll it into balls. Refrigerate them until hardened slightly and chilled, then melt chocolate until creamy and dip the balls into the chocolate. Let the chocolate set and enjoy.

More Cookie Dough Flavors

If you want to make other flavors of cookie dough, there are simple changes and additions you can mix in to the dough to make more flavors. Here are some of my favorites:

  • Sugar Cookie Dough – Replace the brown sugar with granulated sugar. Only use granulated sugar in the recipe. Add white chocolate chips or sprinkles instead of chocolate chips.
  • Double Chocolate Cookie Dough – remove 2 TBS of flour, and add 2 TBS of cocoa powder instead.
  • Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Add 2 TBS of peanut butter when creaming the butter and sugars. Add 1 extra TBS of granulated sugar. Try adding Reeses Pieces, Peanut Butter Chips, or chopped Peanut Butter Cups if desired.

Edible Cookie Dough Recipe FAQs

Can I bake this cookie dough?

No, you cannot bake this cookie dough. It is missing eggs, and leavening agents which are key ingredients to allow the cookie to rise and lift when baked. You will end up with a hard cookie, not a soft and chewy cookie.

Can I add this to ice cream?

Yes, this is a great recipe to add to store bought or homemade ice cream to turn it into cookie dough ice cream. I like to flatten the dough out on parchment paper, and chill it in the freezer for a few hours. Then I cut it into small pieces and mix them into the ice cream as desired.

Can I use all white sugar?

Yes, you can use all granulated sugar if needed, but you’ll lose a bit of the classic chocolate chip cookie dough and your batter will taste more like sugar cookie dough. If you’re fine with that – then go for it!

Can I make this cookie dough without a mixer?

Yes, you can make the dough without an electric mixer. I usually mix it with a fork or spoon since its such a small batch recipe, it doesn’t take much arm strength to mix.

    I made this evening as a snack for my son and I. Proportions were a bit off when I first made it. Had to add more butter as it came out to crumbly/dry. Once I did that it was great. Delicious, indulgent, yum

    I love this so much!!!! I have made it so so many times! I usually double it because I love it so much! It’s good with the normal chocolate chips! I like to put pecans and old fashioned oats or just the oats, but the pecans add a really good flavor to it! It’s so good!!!!

    Last time I made this I didn’t have butter in my fridge so used oil. It was good, but a little greasy. Today I made it again, but this time I was low on oil and didn’t have any butter, so I used honey. I replaced the white sugar 1:1 with honey, did not use any butter and unsweetened almond milk. Perfection (I think I put a little more honey later on, but not a significant amount, just enough for sticking purposes). For those of you who may be wondering why I’m not following the recipe exactly or why I don’t have butter in my fridge, I am currently living on an island and some things are really hard to come by and/or are very very very expensive when I don’t eat or use them regularly. Almond milk is cheaper than regular milk, honey I got on sale. But I also realized that this might knock down some of the calories, so if you want a sweet treat with less (but still some) guilt, this is one way to do it.
