This quick and easy Edible Cookie Dough is made with no egg and heat-treated flour so it is completely safe to eat raw (no risk of food-born illnesses here), but just as delicious as your homemade cookie dough batter. Made with simple pantry ingredients, this recipe will cure your chocolate chip cookie craving in under 15 minutes.
No-Egg Edible Cookie Dough
This Edible Cookie Dough recipe is the simple solution when you are craving cookie dough! It lets you safely sneak a spoonful of every batch, even without baking!
How can this be? Because we make our cookie dough edible by eliminating the raw eggs (we use milk in its place to give our dough the added moisture it needs) AND the raw flour – by heat-treating the flour (Eggs and untreated flour have a high likelihood of containing contaminants like Salmonella and E. coli.).
If you love cookie dough but worry about the risk of food-borne illness, you can eat this recipe straight from the bowl without worry.
It’s the best raw dough that’s eggless and made with heat treated flour, with a rich buttery flavor that I like even better than the original cookie dough batter.

How to Make Edible Cookie Dough Recipe
This quick and easy Edible Cookie Dough is a sweet and tasty treat that skips the egg and baking step but is completely safe to eat! Made with simple pantry ingredients, this recipe will cure your cookie craving in under 15 minutes!
- Bake your flour by spreading it on a parchment lined baking pan and baking it at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes. Cool.
PRO-TIP: In order to safely consume flour, it must be heat-treated to properly kill any chance of bacteria. Please do not skip this step.
- Using an electric mixer (hand mixer or stand mixer), mix butter, sugars, vanilla, and milk together in a large bowl.
Pro Tip: You may need to mash the butter with a fork or a spoon so it will blend.
- Add dry ingredients to the bowl and mix well.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Serve and enjoy your edible cookie dough!
Pro Tip: If the batter is sticky, place in the refrigerator for a few minutes before eating.
Tips
- Since this cookie dough does not contain any leavening ingredients, it is not recommended to bake into cookies.
- You can add a bit more flour if the dough is too soft or sticky, or add more milk if the dough is too stiff.
- To make this even faster, you can bake the flour ahead of time. Then when you are ready to enjoy your edible cookie dough, just combine the ingredients.
Storage
- To Store: Serve your cookie dough right away or store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one week.
- To Freeze: You can freeze your cookie dough in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
This edible cookie dough tastes great in ice cream! I recommend shaping the dough into a couple of small logs, freezing them for a few hours in parchment paper, and then cutting them into small rounds to easily add it to your ice cream.
Traditional raw cookie dough is not safe to eat. The raw egg and uncooked flour have a high likelihood of containing contaminants like Salmonella and E. coli. Our eggless Cookie Dough recipe does not contain any egg and we pre-treat the flour by baking it prior to mixing it into the dough, which makes it completely safe to consume.
Please don’t try to bake this cookie dough! With its lack of egg and leavening (baking soda/baking powder) the cookies will spread and be flat, and you won’t end with a soft and chewy cookie.
Edible cookie dough is made the same way as regular cookie dough. The only difference is that the flour is heat-treated to get rid of dangerous bacteria, and no egg is used in the edible cookie dough version. That’s what makes it safe to eat without baking first.

Try a little splash of milk!!
love these recipes will make these for spring break
thanks
MAY I ask why the baking soda. I have made a similar recipe but it uses no egg and no baking soda. Great tasting.
So basically, your edible cookie dough recipe is a knock-off of the Original Toll House recipe and in place of the standard 2 eggs, you use 1/3 cup of milk. I also see you decreased the baking soda to 1/4 tsp. Quick question, since this is edible dough and if you don’t plan on baking any cookies, couldn’t you eliminate the baking soda altogether? I honestly never thought of using the Toll House recipe and making milk the substitution for eggs. Great idea!

I was wondering why you posted your grandma’s banana split cake & said it was ok to use raw eggs as long as they are pasteurized, that they would be safe, then with the raw cookie dough don’t use raw eggs? I never heard of baking flour to be safe for cookie dough, could you explain about this?
The FLOUR is not safe to eat raw! It is not safe to eat raw flour. Food Poisoning Bulletin warns that raw flour can contain pathogenic bacteria, and eating it can cause illness.
What’s wrong with eating uncooked flour? Raw flour can be dangerous to consume due to its high levels of bacteria. Flour does not generally go through a heat treated process to kill off pathogens. These pathogens, when eaten raw in products such as raw cookie dough, can make consumers sick. In 2009 an E. coli outbreak occurred due to Nestle Toll House cookie dough, as noted by the WebMD news archive.
