LauraB says
Oh my goodness! Did you say ( for two)? …… I think it is just the perfect amount for one cookie lover like me!!!! ……….Besides, my hubby doesn’t eat sweets. Yay!!! 🙂
Corey says
YES! If I’m having “one of those days”, this is totally a one serving batch. Hahaha!
Sasha says
Bahahahaha 2 servings, everyday is one of those days
Elena says
PREACH
Hailey says
Omg so good
Joslyn says
Love this recipe! A little too brown surgery so I added more salt and flour which made it the best recipe I’ve tried!
Aimee Thomas says
Thank you so much! I love them! The recipe doesn’t make many but I think it makes enough! These are so good and I will definitely make them again! ?
Sam says
You can always double the batch.
Alison says
I’ve made this nearly 10 times now. It’s awesome! I do not fear raw egg but I like this recipe because it gives you just the right amount of dough to satisfy you without having to make cookies as well! I am out of brown sugar so tonight I tried it with pure cane sugar (not bleached). Plus a little extra, cause I wasn’t sure if brown sugar is denser in flavor or what. It is grainy this way and not as good but still good enough! Thanks for the adorable, easy, and small recipe.
Saffron Lawson says
it’s not so much the raw egg that makes you sick, it’s the flour. if you don’t heat-treat the flour like what it says to do, that’s what’s going to make you sick, not the egg. you can also treat the flower faster by putting it in the microwave for a minute and 30 stirring every 15 seconds
Danni says
Hey sorry for replying so late..I came across your amazing page ..I keep trying to make edible cookie dough and i use Tate and lyle soft brown sugar and it keeps tasting so grainy 🙁 i even tried putting the sugar in a blender and it still tastes grainy. Do you or anyone have any ideas how to stop the grainy texture. Thank you
Tayla says
Use unrefined brown sugar, or possibly use a spice grinder. The powdery or soft texture is the only one that will leave the dough smooth, because in this recipe the granules can not dissolve
Harvey Rhodes says
Use dark brown sugar I just made it with dark brown sugar and it tasted great no grainy texture smooth
Victoria says
Personally I love the grainy texture in edible cookie dough. It makes it taste like I really am eating it right out of the bowl!
Victoria says
Part of the reason I love raw cookie dough is BECAUSE of the grainy texture! Awesome recipe!
Faith Holcombe says
I used caster sugar and it tasted delicious so I would recommend this alternative
Kendell says
Ya. I would use C & H brown sugar that really works for me!
Robin says
I made this with Krusteaz Gluten Free Flour. Aaaahmazing! Thank you for the best treat I’ve had in a long time!
Jessica says
Normally when i search up cookie dough recipes they are hard to follow and so/so, but making this recipe was very easy and it was sooo good! The only thing that I wish was different was how many servings it makes, could you make a recipe where it makes as much as boxed cookie dough, that would be perfect!
Elena says
You could just multiply the amount by two. That would keep it the same recipe, just bigger.
Jake says
OMG This is amazing! Best egg free cookie dough ever!
Emily Rock says
i agree!!!!!!!
Lulu says
Family won’t be happy I doubled it still not enough I ate it all oops sorry not sorry #hatemykids
Eric says
My girl is pregnant so she misses out on cookie dough. Then I found this and she has been in taste bud heaven since. Although it’s hard for this recipe to be for 2 ?
Georgia says
Omg it taste sooo good thanks for the recipe
Taylor says
I totally agree it says for two but I ended up eating it by myself?????????
Madison Reed says
It was soooo goood thank you ❤️?
Olivia Forrest says
Amazing!! I did a vegan version and it tasted great! Thanks
Gracie Goff says
I used evaporated milk and white sugar worked just as good
Kayla says
What type of flour do we use? It is specified as ‘flour’. Any type of flour?? Orrr
Jeanne says
I couldn’t wait and had to try this last night. It was so good! Tasted just like cookie dough should taste. This is going to be a fun, easy treat that me and my daughter can enjoy. Thank you!
Jen says
Awesome idea, thanks for sharing. I do love me some cookie dough, as do my boys….this will be a great treat for all of us. Thanks you!
MEL says
Hello! I just want to comment: It’s not only the raw egg, but raw flour that was historically a source of microorganisms. Nowadays, 99% of the eggs we eat are pasteurized, so it’s actually the raw flour in cookie dough that would be the most likely to have something bad in it, because flour isn’t/can’t be pasteurized.
But you know what, that has never stopped me eating cookie dough!! The risk is the same one we take when eating at a restaurant where someone else is preparing the food. There’s a small chance you’ll get sick, but it’s most likely you won’t and many people never do. Also, store-bought cookie dough has bacteria-killing preservatives in it — not that I’m recommending it over homemade, but it does make it much less likely to have live germs in it!
Mark says
Yeah I was about to say, it’s not the egg that’s the problem with eating raw cookie dough, or at least not in recent years.
Abigail Goodyear says
This was delicious! But, since I have an extremely sensitive stomach……My stomach did not enjoy it…. But I love the recipe and will make it for my kiddos and hubbie.
Allison says
Microwave or put the flour in the oven at 375 for a few minutes before using – as long as the temperature reaches about 160 degrees it will kill any microorganisms that might be present in the flour, making it safe to eat.
Nick says
How long in a microwave for it to kill the microorganisms?
Via says
I- that’s why you bake the flour first-
Kelly K. says
This is a great recipe, so good. Another alternative is to add about a half cup of steel cut oats and switch the chocolate chips out for Butterscotch chips, oh my goodness, the sweetness is crazy 🙂
Corey says
YUM!
Barbara says
That is also what I did! I can’t have chocolate or nuts so I also put in some of my soy nut butter ( made with roasted soy nuts) along with caramel chips and regular oats. Oh my word, this stuff is awesome! ! Better than the edible sugar come recipe I tried early this week! ! This is definitely one recipe to pin! Again, totally awesome! !!
Danielle @ Blessedly Busy says
For the Gluten free people out there I used almond flour and it tasted pretty good. It was a little grainy though. Then you don’t have to worry about the raw flour. Yummy, thanks for sharing!
Gemma says
I know so yummy
I made this last night and they turned perfect
Just how a cookie dough should be ge
Olivia says
I was looking for something quick and sweet, this definitely hits the spot!
Renee Maxfield says
First off let me say this turned out delicious. I used almond milk and vegan chocolate and voila dairy free 🙂 I was having one of those days and this was a perfect little sweet for me and much better than a Twinkie or mountain dew or whatever.
Secondly, to add on to what Mel was saying: the reason eggs were ever dangerous in the first place was because of how dirty the factories were and how unhealthy the chickens were. Local, organic eggs unpasteurized (as long as the farmer takes good care of them) are not only safe raw but a super healthy probiotic food. Raw butter is even better.
If you used raw butter in this recipe and were a generally healthy person it would outway any bad bacteria in this recipe from the flour. The alcohol content in your vanilla extract helps there too.
jessica says
I’m not the best at baking but this was so easy and fast I was pretty proud of myself .. My family loved the cookie dough they asked me to make more tonight
sarah says
gross really did not like it, and I love cookie dough
Corey says
I am so sorry to hear you didn’t like it Sarah, because we sure to love it over here 🙂
Kyra says
I agree. I did not like it and I have found better edible cookie dough recipes before.
Regina Joplin says
I found that it was salty and I remade it to see if I did something wrong and it came out as the same result
Becca says
I love the single serve version of this! I slightly modified it though, and used peanut butter instead of butter as well as oatmeal instead of flour. So good!
aria says
I am sorry about this but, in all honesty I hated this recipe. And me hating something that involves cookie dough, that means its pretty bad. It tasted very sweet. Not enough cookie dough too. And the constancy was so off!
Corey says
I am so sorry this wasn’t to your liking Aria.
anonymous says
This recipe is great! I put drops of the dough on a tray and froze it for a nice little treat! I would recommend adding less milk but overall 5 stars!!
Natasha says
I was craving chocolate chip cookie dough and this totally hit the mark! Although I did add a little pinch of baking soda (and less salt)
megan says
Yummy!
I did use vanilla almond milk and white sugar plus molasses bc I’m out of brown sugar but it’s so good!!!
Food, Faith, and Other Fabulous Finds says
Ok, so I’m officially obsessed with this. And I may or may not be eating the whole thing myself. It’s just too good!
Cookie Dough Lover! :-) :-D ;-) says
More like cookie dough for ONE! I could eat this all the time… and I don’t have to worry about getting sick! Thanks, Corey!
Corey says
Haha! You are so welcome 🙂
Edel says
Hi this might sound really silly, but there’s no mention of baking them. I love raw cookie dough but I’m just wondering how does the mix fair when baked? I’m eager to try it out tonight that’s why I wanna ask before I do 😛
Alicia says
I put it in the microwave for 45 seconds ( high powered one) and it is sooo delicious. I did use almond milk and wheat flour instead, but don’t think that will matter!
T Redshirt says
I know I’m late to the party, but this is so good! I’m now making it for a second time. It’s a keeper. And the picture of your girls with the cookie dough is adorable.
Liana Hart says
This was absolutely amazing! I have been searching for a single serve recipe and now I have one! it made the perfect amount for a 15 year old girl with a cookie dough craving! made it exactly as written and loved it! Thank you!
Elizabeth says
It was very sweet and not very thick. I had to add almost 10tbs of flour to bring down the sweetness and give make it thicker. Once I did that it was a lot better. Not sure I did something wrong to make it so sweet or what.
Jen says
I had to add a bunch of flour, a little baking soda, and a little butter but it tastes great now!
Ethan says
I have a question do you absolutely need flour? and can I use vanilla extract or does it have to be vanilla
Bryan says
Yes you absoulutely have to use flour there is a reason that it’s called cookie (dough)
And yes you can use other extracts but i recommend using vanilla extract
ME says
LOVE IT. I HAD TOADD EXTRA FLOUR . LITTLE TO SWEET,
Sarah says
I wasn’t a fan. The consistency was wrong & very very sweet.
Corey says
Sorry you were not a fan Sarah.
Debs G says
This saved me this afternoon! Having a rough day and craving cookie dough. I didn’t have any milk so just added a little more butter. It is absolutely delicious! Really appreciate the small batch measurements too… I may of made double for myself anyway… 🙈
Corey says
I am so happy you loved it Debs. 🙂
Phyllis says
My third time making this in 2 weeks. So…so…delicious. I tried it with almond extract one time but its much better with vanilla. to those who complain about the consistency, I say make the dough and put it in the fridge. It’ll harden up and will probably be more like what they are expecting it to “feel like.” No reason to be adding a bunch of extra flour.
Monica says
BEST COOKIE DOUGH EVER! Thanks so much for sharing <3
Amy says
Loved the recipe. Only problem? I had to double it because I found that it wasn’t enough to cure me of my breakup blues. 10/10 would recommend.
Anonymous says
Yum! This is the perfect cookie dough to share, except I’m not sharing any!
Maxx Puterman says
This is the most delicious edible cookie dough recipe I have ever used! Thank you so much for this cookie dough!
Mk says
I loved it!! Great after school snack for the kids! Little sweet, but delicious!!!
Erin says
I’ve made this many times, but was in the mood for snickerdoodle tonight, so I used your recipe as a base, and came up with this: 5Tbl flour, 2 Tbl salted butter, 1/8 tsp cream of tartar, 1.5 Tbl milk, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Thank you for giving me such an awesome guilty pleasure on many occasions.
Courtney moore says
We loved making this super fun and easy! Loved the taste too! DELICIOUS?
Larissa says
I found it was a little too salty, I’d probably use half the salt next time
Marie says
Where do I store my sweet little leftovers XD
kristen says
this was an absolute amazing edible cookie dough! I have cravings and I went into my kitchen to try this and it was just so simple easy and perfect! Thanks so much for sharing I’m sure I wont be in a bad mood for the next 3 days!
Alivia walters says
Hello 😉 I’m a big baker and when it comes to any kind of cookies or cookie dough I’m in! It turned out pretty good. A tip I would use the second time around is adding less milk. I also switched out half of the butter for apple sauce and you couldn’t even tell the difference. I also used almond milk instead of milk which tastes great as well. I also made this to eat alone and could only eat half because I was starting to feel a bit sick? Recommend only if you have a great sweet tooth. Otherwise loved this recipe thank you!
Hailey says
I always use this it is sooooooooo good!!!!!!
Hailey says
Delightful
Inovav says
How will it taste like if i replace the brown sugar with regular white sugar.Is it okay?cause it’s quite hard to find any brown sugar here…
benny says
this is a few months late to help you but for future reference, white sugar and molasses can be combined for a brown sugar substitute
Rena says
Great recipe, thank you for this! This edible cookie dough is tempting, I ate the whole bowl!
Chels says
Tried it, tased great.
Had to add more flour, about 8tbsp total
To reach a better doughy, less flimsy consistency.
But good!
Ashley says
Amazing recipe! I cut everything in half to make it for one person and it worked great. Such a fast and easy recipe thank you!
Paula says
This tasted great, but it’s important to cream the sugar and butter together until it’s light and fluffy, to get rid of the grainy texture – that’s best done using an electric mixer 🙂 this mehes sure you get smooth cookie dough that isn’t gritty!
Felicia says
This is fantastic! I can’t believe was a close approximation this is to the real thing.
I used vegan butter and vanilla flavored almond milk instead of dairy milk, so this recipe definitely translates well for vegans or lactose-intolerants.
Hannah says
I added a 1/8 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and didn’t put chocolate chips in it. It turned out amazing. I love it, I’m gonna have to make more ❤
Corey says
Sound yummy!
Shannon says
You say this is for two? I wouldn’t agree, this doesn’t even feed one, but it tasted good.
SMARTER THAN WHO I REPLIED TO says
well i guess it depends on who youre feeding. whoever originally posted this to feed two children. it really depends on whose eating it and adjusting the recipe
Loading... says
Hi! I’m really late to this, but I just wanted to say: this is amazing, just would say it’s a bit too sweet, I have a really big sweet tooth but this was a little to much. I honestly used a whole carton of flour but it was still sweet!! Was great though thanks Cory!
Olivia says
it was great when we added a mushed banana, peanut butter, and marshmallow!
Corey says
Yummy!
ads says
Good recipe. Could you please provide a version in grams so I can know exactly how much of each I need to purchase every time I make it? Thanks!
Emylia says
The directions were confusing to me, I mixed the butter and sugar and vanilla, then I mixed the flour and milk in a separate bowl and when I combined them it was chunky and not a good texture, I tried putting them in the freezer but it was still chunky
Angelica says
Hey Emylia!
Sorry to hear it didn’t work out for you, but if you read it again, you’ll read that you’re supposed to add the milk then slowly add the flour one tablespoon at a time. When you add the flour all at once, it gets chunky and doesn’t mix well. I tried this recipe just now, and it turned out great following all the instructions. Give it another try, but read through the instructions more carefully this time.
Good luck and happy baking 🙂
