A new way to enjoy cookie dough, no baking needed.
My Edible Cookie Dough Recipe has been a fan favorite for years. Because let’s admit it: for a lot of us, dipping into the dough is the best part of baking cookies. And since we all know eating raw eggs is a bad idea, an egg-free dough that you can eat straight out of the bowl is the perfect solution.
So, since so many of you are fans of the raw chocolate chip cookie dough, I got to thinking maybe you’d like to try this trick with other kinds of cookie dough as well.
So I made a few quick tweaks to the recipe and whipped up a batch of Edible Sugar Cookie Dough. And sure enough, this version is just as satisfying to eat raw as the original. The buttery-sweet dough feels wonderful rolling over your tongue and melts right down your throat.
And if you miss the sprinkles that are the best part of a sugar cookie, no problem: just sprinkle them right on the dough before you spoon it up from the bowl. Why not? We’re in uncharted cookie territory here – we can make up our own rules!

Can these be baked? If so, what degree and for how long?
Corey says
No Jennifer, this dough is meant to be eaten raw.
Lauren says
I used this recipe. I made it the first time based of yours. I made it a second time but with this recipe and tweeked it a bit. I used less flower, More vanilla and a 1/2 tablespoon of milk and it tastes so much better.
Peggy says
How long is the shelf life in the fridge?

Can gluten free flour be used for this recipe?

I don’t think so, it would probably throw off the cookie dough a little…

It’s my birthday, couldn’t decide what I wanted for breakfast, lunch dinner or what kind of cake. I came across this recipe and was like, THIS!! Birthday dough for me. Thanks for posting this recipe. I made it plain, no sprinkles or anything but I did add a sploosh of imitation butter flavor. (I don’t believe in measuring spoons smaller than a tablespoon, I guess maybe 1/4 or 1/2 two maybe? I’ve recently become obsessed with imitation butter flavoring) anywho, awesome. Perfect. Thank you for posting!

This is really good! I didn’t have vanilla so I used kahlua instead and added chocolate chips with the sprinkles! Delicious and perfect when you’re craving something sweet!

This recipe is soooo scrumdidliumptious and the flavors are well incorporated I will say it was a little barren so I added a splash of cow juice to moisten it up a tad!
