Delicious Edible Cookie Dough (Eggless, Gluten Free) Recipe (1)

Edible Cookie Dough Here. I am going to rock your world. I am eggless and totally OK to eat!

It is a good day because we have cookie dough! I mean, there are few things better than cookies, brownies and pies, but what is the very best thing about all of them?

That raw dough (and licking the bowl clean) is the highlight of my baking. Now, I know you aren’t supposed to consume raw eggs; I know this, but that dough is just too darn good!

TIPS for those Concerned with Consuming Raw Flour –Heat Treated Flour!

  • If you are concerned about the raw flour as many say is actually the real risk with eating raw cookie dough and NOT the eggs. Follow the following instructions.
  • Preheat your oven to about 325 degrees F.
  • Take your measured flour and lay it out on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  • Allow it to fully cool before using in recipe.
  • This should kill off any bacteria that is lingering in the raw flour that could supposedly make you sick.

Plus, let’s be honest here; it’s blasphemy to let cookie dough go to waste on that spoon! // If I see you wash off a spoon chock full of leftover cookie dough, we cannot be friends.

I’m kidding . . . Sort of.

As you place the cookies on the baking sheet, want to erase the fear of getting sick after realizing you ate a total of 3 cookies of dough? // There is a possibility that this happened.

How to Store Our Cookie Dough and How Long It Will Last

  • How to Store our Eggless Cookie Dough: It’s best if it’s stored in an airtight container and stored in the refrigerator.
  • How Long It’ll Last? Well, thats entirely up to you. If you can get it to last 5-7 days it will keep great when stored correctly. However, from my experience you’ve got about 24 hours before the entire batch of cookie dough just disappearsfrom your house. Everyone will be sneaking spoonfuls of this edible cookie dough when you are not looking!

How did this edible cookie dough come to existence?

I’ll break it down for you. One night, after a very long day, R was out of town and the house was super quiet. There was a glass of wine consumed along with 4 consecutive episodes of Grey’s Anatomy.

I began dreaming of the countless chocolate chip cookie batches made earlier that week.

What I really wanted though, was that dang dough. I didn’t want to bake it (psh, we don’t need that); I just want to eat that amazing cookie dough!

Voila! That is how this edible chocolate chip cookie dough was born.

What followed after that? Another 3-4 episodes of Grey’s.????????

That is how I roll when the house is all to myself.

Productive? No.

Relaxing? Heckssssss yes.

I’ve come to the conclusion that is how most ‘eating-raw-cookie-dough-out-of-the-tube’ scenarios begin.

You have a couple options in shoveling this delicious eggless and edible cookie dough into your mouth:

  • Option A: Sit there with with the entire bowl and eat with a spoon.
  • Option B: Roll into tiny little delicious cookie dough balls. Then devour.
  • Both are effective methods.

FAQs

What do you substitute for eggs in edible cookie dough? ›

Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature. Then, using a hand mixer or a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars together for 30-60 seconds. The milk replaces the eggs in this edible cookie dough recipe. I recommend starting by using 3 tablespoons of milk.

Can you eat raw cookie dough without eggs and flour? ›

This cookie dough is made without eggs and with no raw flour – so it's completely safe to eat. First – you need to heat the flour so that it's safe to eat. You can either do this in the oven or in the microwave. Mix together the butter and sugars.

Why can't you bake edible cookie dough? ›

We do not recommend baking our Bite-Sized Edible Cookie Dough [flavor/products]. It does not contain eggs or leavening agents, which are key ingredients in developing texture and lift in baked cookies. (If needed) Exposure to high oven temperatures will cause the product to liquefy and possibly burn.

What holds gluten-free cookies together? ›

Binding agents (such as xanthan gum, guar gum, or flax) help give gluten-free baked goods the elasticity needed to create structure — so if your favorite gluten-free flour mix doesn't contain one, you'll probably want to add one.

What can I use to replace an egg in a cookie recipe? ›

You can whisk 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons of water and 2 teaspoons of baking powder together to replace each egg in baked goods like cookies, brownies or quick breads. This substitution won't impact a recipes' flavor profile the way egg substitutions like mashed banana or flaxseed might.

What makes edible cookie dough safe? ›

The key is to use an edible cookie dough recipe that does not have eggs and does heat-treat the flour before making the dough. Both of these steps will eliminate the majority of the risk for foodborne illness.

What is the purpose of eggs in cookie dough? ›

Eggs promote puffiness and spreading in cookies, while also holding the cookie together during baking. The height and texture of the final product is determined by how much egg is incorporated into the batter. Substituting ingredients can make or break a recipe.

Can you get sick from eating too much edible cookie dough? ›

It's not easy to resist the temptation to taste that raw cookie dough. But that's not a safe thing to do. Raw cookie dough contains uncooked flour and eggs. These have the potential to cause food poisoning and bacterial infections like salmonella.

Is edible cookie dough healthier than cookies? ›

Some may say that raw cookie dough is better than the baked cookie itself. However, raw cookie dough eaters are taking a risk with foodborne illness. Most know that eating cookie dough with raw eggs runs the risk of contracting Salmonella. But this isn't the only ingredient that deems it risky behavior.

What happens if you don t heat treat flour for edible cookie dough? ›

What many people don't know, however, is that raw eggs are not the only threat in raw cookie dough. Raw flour can contain bacteria like E.coli, which is not something to mess around with! Heat treating the flour beforehand kills off any bacteria without hurting any of the flavor, and it only takes a few minutes to do.

Which gluten free flour works best in cookies? ›

Almond flour is a grain-free, protein-rich flour that lends well to cookies, cakes, and more! Almond flour is made from blanched almonds, meaning without skins (as opposed to almond meal, which is made from raw almonds with skins). This is why it has a fluffy, light texture and pale golden color.

What happens when you use gluten free flour in cookies? ›

Gluten-free flours often contain fine starches, so they absorb more liquid than conventional flour. To address this, gluten-free recipes usually call for more liquid and produce looser batters. They may also call for a larger quantity of leavening, like baking powder, to help add volume and lighten the texture.

Should I add xanthan gum to gluten-free cookies? ›

Using xanthan gum helps provide some of the stickiness that gluten free goods lack, replacing some elasticity. Xanthan gum mimics some of gluten's most essential properties by sticking to flour and its moisture. This helps create moist goods that hold their shape after being baked.

Can you use milk instead of eggs in cookie dough? ›

It turns out that a perfect substitute for eggs is milk. Yep, milk! Since you don't plan to bake the cookies, you just need the milk to add moisture and you won't miss the binding element of the eggs. A lesser known culprit in raw cookie dough is the flour.

Does edible raw cookie dough have eggs? ›

It's such a treat to nibble on raw cookie dough! This version is 100% safe to eat. It's made with no eggs and no raw flour, so go ahead and indulge!
