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.
