I’ve never met a cookie dough I didn’t like. Raw eggs, raw flour and all. Don’t judge- you never licked a beater as a kid?
In fact, I might enjoy cookie dough more than actual baked cookies and I always judge a dessert on the deliciousness of the batter or dough long before the final version is complete.
Eggless Cookie Dough For One
It comes as no surprise that instead of craving a cookie or two after dinner, I want a scoop of edible cookie dough.
It is funny to me that some folks refer to it as “edible cookie dough”… isn’t it all raw dough?
This was the part of the baking process I most looked forward too. And total jackpot if my sister wasn’t around; I could sometimes talk her into letting me have both beaters!
I know this isn’t popular, but I guess I have a raw cookie dough inferiority complex thinking it will never happen to me and luckily, it hasn’t.
Heat Treated Flour
The first time I published this recipe it was just an eggless cookie dough recipe (years ago), nowadays we know how to treat the flour. All the flavor with less e. coli, if you will. Good times.
Uncooked flour has a small chance of containing some yucky things, so to prevent this, pasteurize it at home. Microwaving is the quickest way. Place raw flour into the microwave (flour alone, not the dough) and heat on high for 20- 45 seconds. Please be mindful that all microwaves are different. Watch the flour closely so it doesn’t burn.
The oven is another good option, simply place it in a thin layer on a baking sheet at 350°F for 5ish minutes. Just make sure it doesn’t burn. This should be plenty to kill off any harmful bacteria.
Ingredients
You don’t need much for this easy recipe, in fact most folks have all the ingredients in their pantry for edible chocolate chip cookie dough.
- White Sugar
- Brown Sugar
- Softened Unsalted Butter- some folks have swapped out coconut oil with good results.
- Chocolate Chips or Mix-Ins (Optional)
- Milk or water- Whole milk is best, any type will do.
- Vanilla Extract
- Fine salt- If you use salted butter omit the salt.
- All-Purpose Flour (you can use self rising flour, but it contains a leavening agent and since you aren’t baking, you really don’t need that. If you do use it, omit the additional salt.)
How to Make Edible Cookie Dough
- Soften your butter. This step is the most commonly messed up step and I can no stress enough that your butter must be soft, but not melted. Here are a few ways to soften butter fast. This is also the number one reason you won’t achieve the desired cookie dough texture. After you melt it, it is hard to get back.
- Cream together brown sugar, butter and white sugar. I do this by hand, there really isn’t enough actual batter to require a stand mixer or electric mixer and if the butter is soft enough, it should be easy.
- Add wet ingredients, so milk or water and vanilla extract. I like to use milk, but don’t always have it, so water will do. You can also use almond milk or oat milk. Vanilla flavored milk gives you an added bonus! Some folks have also substituted the vanilla for other flavors of extract like almond, lemon or even rum. It is a fun way to make cookie dough variations!
- Add the flour. If your butter was soft and not melted, this should be plenty of flour. If your butter was liquidy, you might need to add a little more, but still, this depends on a lot of things. The main one being that everything was measured correctly. With such small volumes, even a little extra splash of milk can throw off how much flour you require.
- Add chocolate chips. Chips are totally optional. I would be lying if I said I hadn’t made just the cookie dough without chips before. Some prefer to use mini chocolate chips for a better dough to chip ratio.
If you don’t have chocolate chips or want another variation, try using these:
- Crushed candy bar pieces like Twix or Snickers
- Whole Candy like Reeses Pieces or M&Ms
- Butterscotch or peanut butter chips
- Chopped nuts
- Crushed cookies like Oreos or chocolate chip cookies
- Dried fruit like cranberries or raisins
- Oatmeal
- Dark chocolate
- White chocolate chips
- Graham crackers
- Sit back and enjoy!
Common Substitutions
Flour– If you don’t have heat treated flour or have a flour or gluten sensitivity, feel free to use almond meal or almond flour, gluten free flour or some folks have even used pancake mix and buckwheat flour. Some folks have also substituted 1 tablespoon of flour with cocoa powder to make a chocolate cookie dough.
Butter– Butter is best since it is the base. Margarine is acceptable and vegan butter can also be used. All of these will impact the flavor. Ghee is also an option. I like to use unsalted butter so I can control the salt levels. If you use salted butter, you might want to omit additional salt.
Vanilla– Use any type of extract you’d like, but I do suggest using some extract. Omitting this ingredient will result in a near flavorless cookie dough. You can use homemade which will really blow your mind!
Brown Sugar– You can use all white sugar, but brown sugar has molasses in it which is why it is softer and has more flavor. You can add a dab of molasses or even dark agave nectar. If you use all white sugar, it is fine, but it will be more like sugar cookie dough.
Storage and Freezing
This easy edible cookie dough recipe is best consumed right after you make it, but can be made ahead or even stored for another bite later. I wouldn’t make it more than 24 hours in advance.
Refrigerate and store any leftovers in an airtight container or covered tightly with plastic wrap so it doesn’t dry out. It should stay good for about 2 days. Keep in mind that this version doesn’t have any preservatives or additives.
You can freeze this cookie dough for up to 6 months. If you want to make them into little balls or add it to ice cream as a tasty treat, add an additional tablespoon of flour so it holds its shape.
Soupy Cookie Dough
I’m going out on a limb to say you melted the butter. Melted butter is the number one cause of yucky cookie dough. It changes the texture and consistency and forces you to add more flour to avoid cookie dough soup, only this makes the texture gritty and well, flour-y.
Cookie Dough for Ice Cream
You can totally use this cookie dough recipe for ice cream. It is a good idea to add 1 tablespoon extra flour so it holds its shape better.
Simply freeze little nuggets of the prepared cookie dough on a cookie sheet and fold them into your ice cream after they are set.
Baked Cookie Dough
This recipe is meant to be a single serving edible cookie dough, not to be baked. Since it is eggless and contains no other leaveners, even if you tried to bake it, it wouldn’t amount to much. You can also try our Mug Brownie.
But if you want some freshly baked cookies you can use one of these cookie recipes!

Yay! We love to hear that and thank you for coming to let us know!
I love cookie dough and this hit the spot! Thanks 🙂
Thanks, Lexi! I happen to be eating a bowl myself. LOL.
Incredible! This is me new favorite late night snack. First time I melted the butter even though you said not to-, second time I let it soften on its own.
BEST EDIBLE COOKIE DOUGH RECIPE EVER!!!!! SERIOUSLY Y’ALL HAVE TO TRY THIS!
Thanks! It is one of my favorites too!
Was very good and smooth!Really good with toppings:)
Thanks for the feedback, Kyla!
definitely not one to leave reviews, but this cookie dough is amazing! i substituted the reg milk for oat milk and it came out amazing! also, it looks like a deceivingly small portion, but i can assure you, this stuff fills you up!
Love cookie doughs and this recipe is perfect! I ate it just like that.
This is such a fun recipe! I love that it is a single serving so i’m not tempted to each a whole batch. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this small-serving recipe! Can’t wait to try it out!
This recipe looks and sounds so good and unbelievable! Glad to learn about pasturing flour; never heard of it before. Thanks for sharing!
My daughter loves cookie dough (so do I) but at least with this recipe she eats it all so I don’t get tempted to have some too!
it’s very delicious and i’ll definitely make it again 😀
Thank you, Abby!
This dish looks so good!
I absolutely loved this! So yummy!
This cookie dough is sooooooo good. And I love that it’s only 252 calories! I can enjoy delicious dessert and not give in to my temptations of eating a whole batch. Bookmarked!
Thank you!
Delicious!! I added almonds slivers to it. This is so delicious, quick, and easy!
Great addition! I love it!
OMG!! I decided to add some oats like someone had suggested in the comments and DELICIOUS! will be my new go-to recipe 🙂 thank you!
Yay! Thank you for coming back to let us know, Janet!
It was very good! I would add 2 tablespoons of butter though if you want it to be a little creamier. Other than that, it was delicious!
Thanks for letting us know, Kayle, glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the tip!
SO GOOD!!!!!
I love this so much! I added about 1/4 – 1/3 cup rolled oats and it was amazing!!! Totally recommend!!!
Thanks for letting us know, Evie!
Of the three other recipes for edible cookie dough, this one is definitely the best. I will be using this FOREVER! it’s also the perfect amount, might I add.
WOOHOO! That is what we love to hear! Happy cookie dough eating 🙂
This is dangerously easy to make! I made a few adaptations to meet my dietary needs (King Arthur gluten free measure for measure flour, dairy free avocado oil butter, oat milk) and I also used powdered sugar in place of regular sugar to avoid grittiness. I also put it in the fridge for about 10 minutes before enjoying (it was challenging to do so) so that it firmed up a bit. Thanks for a great, easy recipe that satisfies all of my cookie dough cravings!
Glad you loved it!
Delicious!!!
Thank you!
I never leave reviews. But this is sooooo good, I just had to. I used Swerve for both sugars and Cup 4 Cup gluten free flour and added in Libby’s chocolate chips. Ate it with come vanilla ice cream. Thank you for this!!
Thank you for taking the time out to do so, Sara! Glad you enjoyed it.
This was GOOD. This is a five star rating. And it taste like REAL cookie dough.
Thanks so much, Carter! We really appriciate the time it takes to come leave us a comment <3
Turned out delicious! Definitely will use your recipes again!
Thank you, Siena! One of our favorites too!
I loved it SO MUCH! It’s was the perfect recipe! I’ve been looking for the perfect cookie Diego recipe and IVE FOUND IT! I added extra chocolate chips OF COUSE, and loved it.
Woohoo! That is what we LOVE to hear and thanks for coming back to let us know!
The only reason why I gave it four stars out of five is because it had hard chunks in it which wasn’t the recipes fault it was mine because I microwaved the dough to cook the flour. Besides that it was pretty good 😊
Glad you enjoyed it- sorry about the lumps!
While I’m a huge lover of real, freshly baked cookies, I don’t have an oven—nor a kitchen at all—in my miniscule studio apartment, so I’ve been trying various cookie dough recipes. Yours is the first one I can honestly say I really, really, REALLY like!!! Or, as a former coworker says, “I really LIKE-LIKE this!!”
It’s so easy to make, and I customize it a bit by adding in cinnamon and nutmeg, and occasionally a Tablespoon of roasted, salted sunflower seeds (I’ve unfortunately developed an allergy to most nuts).
I’m 67, have been cooking since I was eight, love trying new recipes—and find it hilarious that one of my absolute favorites is this simple, easy-to-make, delicious treat.
Thank you for posting this!!!
Thank you, Joyce! I’m glad it fulfills all your cookie dough dreams!
Loved this recipe!!!! I am a chocoholic🤣 so I added cocoa powder!!
Fabulous! Thanks for coming back to let us know!
This recipe is to die for!! I doubled it , and it turned out fantastic. Definitely a make-again-recipe that never fails!!:)
Thank you! And thanks for taking the time to come let us know !
Okay I see more than a few recipes I like here. Amazing recipe and it sounds yummy as heck. Those cookie dough cupcakes sound exceptional as well.
Thanks for sharing the recipe. I will definitely try this sometime.
This cookie dough looks delicious I need to try it, my kids love this chocolate cookie dough.
This is a fantastic cookie dough recipe! I love how easy it is to make! YUM!
Yum! Now I have a hankering for cookie dough! I’m pretty sure I have all the ingredients for this recipe. It might be my midnight snack!
This has always been one of my guilty pleasures. I would love to have a jar of this to snack on.
This looks like a delicious and relatively easy treat! Raw cookie dough is the best, and now I can enjoy it safely.
This is so good! Just like regular cookie dough except ok to eat 🙂 We love it!
I’m a major sweet tooth so this recipe is up my alley. Will bookmark for the next bake off!
Yay! Omg. My daughter LOVES all things cookie dough. She will love this edible version.
Oh my goodness. I think I lost consciousness a bit when I read this post. I am the worse when it comes to tasting bread, cake, cookie, etc dough before it baked. Now I must make this!!
This would be perfect to snack on right about now. Looking forward to trying this.
I’ll have to try this! I even think I can pass it along to my stepdaughter and have her make this Vegan. Thanks for sharing all the helpful tips about killing the E.Coli in the microwave or the oven!
Oh my goodness yes please, this sounds like it would be right up my street, I could just take a spoonful right now.
Oh yes, I shall be trying this. I love edible cookie dough. It’s such an amazing treat.
Okay, i really need something like this in my life today. I have a taste for something sweet!
Yummy! I didn’t have flour so I switched it up and used a combo of oat flour and kodiac jack pancake powder.
It was a little gritty but still delicious
That is super creative, but when you have a craving, YOU HAVE A CRAVING!
This recipe is indescribable. Extremely delicious! A must have! Best cookie dough on earth!
My 13 year old son just made it ( had to make a second batch because it was so good and everybody was fighting for it!)…… the whole family loved it!!!
Thank you! It’s our fav quick dessert fix now!
Yay! We love to hear that!
So so good. Thank you. It really fixed my craving of cookie dough when I didn’t have time to make a batch. Best I have tried!
Awesome! Thank you!
Hey,
I don’t have a microwave at home would it be possible if I could pasteurize the flour in the oven? If yes, for how long? Thanks
Sure! Bake at 350 in a shallow layer for about 3-5 minutes. Watch closely to make sure it doesn’t burn or turn brown, then your cookie dough will taste browned too.
So I calculated the actual calories for this chocolat chip cookie dough recipe and it’s more around 360 calories with 1 tbsp of chocolate chips and 430 calories with 2 tbsp of chocolat chip! The recipe says it’s only 252 calories which I feel is a serious misrepresentation. Apart from that, its delicious!
Hi Samantha! I use a tool that calculates it for me and of course, the nutrition will vary depending on the ingredients you use. There is a disclaimer that the nutrition is an estimate, but I figure if you are making and eating cookie dough, it is probably a cheat day! LOL.
Yummy. I was needing a serious chocolate fix so I made this recipe. I about doubled the chocolate chips and added a few walnuts. It was very quick, so easy and hit the spot! Delicious! Best of all there’s no leftovers calling my name! Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you for stopping by to let us know. Walnuts are a fabulous addition!
I prefer cookie dough made with egg beaters, as they are pasteurized, but didn’t want a whole batch or have the egg beaters on hand. This hit the spot. The salt and water are key imo to making it the right flavor and consistency—thanks!
I gave in! I had the urge for this after seeing it in my Facebook feed and so I switched Netflix on and made up a bowl! I love how easy it was to make and unashamedly, I ate it all before my film had even started! I’ll be trying out the other ones you listed too. Love it!
I was totally craving cookie dough – you know it’s so much better than cookies! I found this recipe and it’s perfect. Satisfied my sweet tooth and was just the right amount! Thanks for the recipe.
Amzaing flavor! A little runnier then i like it but fridge time helps with that
Thanks, Kirstin! Did you melt the butter? Just curious.
This recipe is yummy ! In your recipe you say to put flour in microwave for 20-45 seconds . I put mine in for 25 seconds is that long enough to kill the bacteria? Thank you
Yep!
Alternative to butter – I’ve used coconut oil instead, and it was delicious. Just a slight coconutty flavor.
Great idea! Thanks!
Perfect recipe to satisfy my late night cookie dough cravings!
Yay! This is what we love to hear!
I love the recipe. A lighter version. I tried some other cookie dough recipes that almost put me in hyperglycemic overload. I’m not diabetic. Thank you. I made the dough without the chocolate chips and it was tasty.
Thanks for letting us know- this is what we like to hear!!
I used this recipe for a “guideline” and even with the minor tweaks, it was amazing! Here is what I did instead:
Melted 1 tbsp of butter
Added 1/2 tbsp of granulated Swerve (sugar substitute)
Added 1 tbsp of crunchy peanut butter
Added 4 tbsp of almond flour
Added 1/8 tsp of pure vanilla extract
Added 10 70% bittersweet chocolate chip morsels
It does come out a little more oily due to the PB so if you don’t like/want that, just add less PB but oh my goodness does it add that extra YUM!
I’ve tried countless recipes over the years and this is by far the best! Thank you for satisfying my cravings
WOW ???? delicious !!!
Thanks for letting us know!
Trying to get back towards keto diet after getting sick and having to go on the BRAT diet. I don’t eat many sweets anyway, but was craving something. This was perfect, no chocolate chips because I like it plain. I always love half baked cookies so I microwaved for 15-20 seconds. Yum!
Glad you loved it and “hit the spot”! I am also glad you are feeling better.
Highly recommend, “half baking” it. Pop it in for 15 sec and it’s MUCH better!
Good call!
How to get the most out of this recipe:
Cream Butter and Sugar First
Use Milk instead of Water (It has a richer taste and is a bit thicker)
Add chocolate chips last and then add a dash of flour
Refrigerate 10 minutes before eating
Really good recipe, highly recommend, the balance is perfect for a one person recipe.
Thanks for the feedback!
Fantastic recipe, I use this all the time when I need a little pick-me-up!
I couldn’t agree more… thanks for letting us know, Abby!
This is so good !!
Thanks! We love it too!
I was so disappointed when made this! 🙁 I didn’t even know it was possible to dislike cookie dough, but this cookie dough… I actually had to throw out the last few bites because I couldn’t eat it.
Hi Emily, I am so sorry to hear that! I’m not sure what went wrong, generally people love it.
Had to add about another tablespoon of flour, PROBABLY because our butter is super soft.
That does happen- especially if you melt it in the microwave 🙂
a’not have chocolate chips on hand”??? not in my universe! ;0
Good recipe, but I added the chocolate chips after I melted the butter so it ended up like chocolate cookie dough instead of chocolate chip cookie dough:-)
Chocolate cookie dough isn’t a bad thing. LOL.
I had the same problem, and mine also turned out very soupy (not at all doUghy texture). Any tips/ suggestions?
Hi Megan! Sorry to hear that! The number one issue people have is that they melt the butter instead of using softened butter or accidentally added a little too much water by not measuring. If you need to soften butter fast, check out some of these easy techniques, but whatever you do, don’t put it in the microwave! 🙂 https://www.savoryexperiments.com/how-to-soften-butter-quickly/
And if it is a little soupy, add just a pinch more flour to compensate.
This was so great! TotAlly hit the spot for leriod cravings and the perfect size To avoid binging which is so easy when you buy Cookie dough from the store and sooo easy took two minutes!! Thank you so much
And thank YOU For stopping by to let us know!!!!
my daughter has egg allergy and i want her to taste cookies without egg .how long do i have to bake these.never done cookies before so want to try small batch.
Hi Subhasri, this recipe is meant to be eaten raw. In fact, they probably wouldn’t bake since they don’t have a leavening agent in them. I found this recipe from Genius Kitchen, which is a reputable site. I hope it works for your daughter. Everyone needs a cookie sometimes 🙂 http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/eggless-chocolate-chip-cookies-58919
I have tried many other edible cookie dough recipes and they were either to much or not good. But this recipe is AMAZING. It was so yummy and the texture and size was just right! thank you so much for this recipe! I will make sure to tell all of my friends about this recipe! thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay!! That is what I love to hear! We make it a lot… more often than I wish to admit. LOL.
I love this recipe, I normally eat raw cookie dough no matter what. I made a batch of this then I bought store made cookie dough and this on tastes so much more fresh
I’m so glad to hear that and happy you stopped by to let me know!
This recipe was awful. But thank you for it.
Sorry to hear you didn’t care for it. What was it that you didn’t like?
As a health inspector, I always encourage people not to consume raw cookie dough due to the possibility of salmonella and other bacterial contamination that could be present.
I loved your recipe- it was delicious, not too sweet, had a fantastic texture, and best of all was egg free! The one recommendation that I make (beg!) is to add a step to pasteurize the flour for those who may not think to do it otherwise. It is now known that certain strains of E. coli bacteria are ubiquitous in commercially prepared flours. E. Coli can lead to devastating infectious, and leave behind life long complications. Pasteurization of flour can occur through microwaving, using a frying pan, and baking on a tray in the oven (of the flour alone, not the dough).
Thanks again!!!
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll add that to the recipe.
I microwaved the flour like it says in the recipe. There were a couple lumps in my flour and they actually started burning and smoking in just a minute in the microwave. I scooped out the burned bit and everything turned out great. I just wanted to let you know so people are aware that’s a possibility.
Thanks Jeanette! I’m glad you still enjoyed the cookie dough. I’ve never had this happen, but I would gather that a high wattage microwave could certianly make some sparks. Love the feedback!
This happened to me too which surprised me as my microwave is low (700w).After a full minute on high my flour came out burnt and sent smoke out of the microwave, creating a disgusting smell which spread throughout the house.
So sorry Jeanette! I’m guessing all microwaves are a little different.
I am a Registered Dietitian and viewed this recipe while preparing for a “cooking for one’ class. It’s a great idea and sounds like it would be delicious but the nutritional analysis is just plain not accurate. The butter and sugar alone would have more calories than 218 and 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter would have around 20 grams of fat. Of course there is also fat in the chocolate chips and small amounts in flour. I wish it did only have 218 calories but sadly it’s just not true. I may have to check it out though… I love cookie dough and always feel guilty when I eat it since I know the potential consequences 🙂
Hi ELlen, I use an app that calculates the nutritional info based on common ingredients, I don’t calculate it individually, so you may be 100% right. As in every recipe, the nutritional info can vary greatly based on the exact ingredients you use.
This recipe was amazing! I love to bake, but don’t have the patience to make large batches, and because I’m twelve, I just love experimenting. My dad is very hesitant of these experiments and hates most cakes/cookies that have anything to do with mugs, but the (and all the rest of my family) just loved this recipe. I also found that if you add the baking soda and microwave for about 45-60 seconds, it gives it this heavenly gooey and almost caking/fudgy texture that I know I love. Thanks a million for sharing this recipe! It was truly the best recipe I have ever tried for edible and raw cookie dough.
I’m glad you loved it, Abby!
This recipe is amazing! Just be sure to add the step to brown the flour otherwise it can lead to salmonella. It’s dangerous to eat raw flour so either browning it over the pan or toasting it for 5 mins on 350 in the oven is imperative to make it edible~
This made my day.
I’m glad 🙂
I’ve tried out a bunch of edible cookie dough recipes but this one was by far my favorite! It’s delicious and so easy to make. Thank you!
Yay~ I love when I can spread my cookie dough love with others.
OMG I love this soo much i cant be more thankful that you made this thanks soo much
I’m a 10 year old girl who loves to bake. This was one of the easiest recipes I have made in a long time thanks you so much for sharing it.❤
I’m glad you enjoyed it Paige!
I’ve been wanting to try an edible cookie dough recipe but hesitant to make so much. . .felt I’d either love it and devour all of it in one day or hate it and have wasted the ingredients, neither of which is acceptable to me.
So when I came across your single serving option I was thrilled and had to try it immediately!
It was very easy to make and had good flavor. Thank you for sharing.
I’m glad you love it!
I’ve probably made this 15 times in the last two weeks. Thank you so much for this recipe.
Rachel, that is what I love to hear and thank you for taking the time to stop by and leave a note. It really made my day.
Please put a warning on this!! Raw cookie dough isn’t dangerous because of the egg, it’s dangerous because of the raw *flour*. Flour doesn’t undergo any processing, cleaning, or sterilization before you unpack it, and because unlike an egg it’s not made to fend off bacteria growth, it’s actually the perfect medium for the nasty infections that people like pregnant women should definitely not be eating, egg or no egg.
Yes uncooked flour is dangerous. To go around this problem, I used oat flour instead and it was awesome!
Great substitute!
Any flour not treated is dangerous. Just because it is a different type of flour doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be browned or toasted before using! Otherwise it was a great recipe.
Hi Elizabeth!
Yes raw flour can be dangerous but that is why they invented the sieve.
You see it’s original purpose was not just to avoid lumps in flour or refine it, it was designed to prevent bugs in flour therefore taking the danger out of it.
Thanks, Hanna
P.S Almond flour will work if you are still uncomfortable using normal flour
If I use almond flour do I still have to cook it like all purpose flour?
That is a great question! You do not need to cook almond flour, however it is made from nothing but ground almonds, so I am not sure how good it will taste in this recipe. If you try it, come back to let us know!
I saw this recipe and have made it twice today!
So delicious for a quick late night snack and perfect portion size. 🙂
Thanks for the great recipe!
I’m glad you love it and thank you for taking the time out of your day to leave me a note. It means the world!
Hi! I have now made this twice. Since I am watching my calories, any idea what the nutrition facts of this recipe is?
Hi Angela,
I recently added the nutritional info.
Hi there what should I do if it is too sweet??! Because I doubled it
I would omit just a little bit of the sugar.
Hmm… it is a little hard to reduce the sweet factor after you’ve already made it, but maybe add another pinch of salt or start over.
I’m on a diet but I would like to know how many calories this cookie dough has.
Hi Emily, I honestly don’t know. I don’t have a reliable nutrition calculator either. What I can say is that it is an indulgence and everything is okay in moderation 🙂
I saw this recipe and made it immediately. I had all ingredients on hand in cabinets. I love eating raw cookie dough and this recipe was amazingly delicious. I’m of average size but I have major sweet tooth and usually eat more than 1 serving so I was skeptical but tried recipe as exact and it made plenty for one! Cookie dough is pretty rich to me so I can’t eat it all day long. If you are reading this recipe it’s a must try. I already memorized it and will be making a lot when I want a smack but don’t want to make my recipe for chocolate chip cookies that makes huge batch. This is so cute and perfect and I’m raving amount it to everyone. My kids also loved.. I let them have a bite! Haha. Thanks so much. Only downside I have is I wished I had this recipe when I was pregnant and craving cookie dough and hubs did not want me eating raw eggs 🙁
Again thank you!’ Recipe is life changing
Sarah, Thank you SO much for taking the time to stop and write such a sweet comment. When I posted this recipe, it was on a whim and yet I’ve received such positive feedback. I’m so glad you enjoyed it and I hope to have more recipes you enjoy just as much. XOXO- Jessica
Soon as I seen this, I made it. Well, it is gone! It was delicious and I don’t have to have a whole tube of cookie dough calling my name.
Thankyou very much.
I just ate it plain…. nothing else added.
I’m glad you enjoyed!
I’m an 11 year old girl that loves to bake an cook on my free time! I also have sweet tooth a quite often and love cookie dough this was amazing and perfect for an after school snack(middle school gets hard?) or after volleyball! I recommend this to everyone it makes a perfect serving and I am definitely going to make this along with some of your other recipes because this was amazing!
I’m glad you loved it Faith!
LOVE this recipe, tastes delicious. I suggest adding a little more water or less flour if you dont melt te butter, because it came out a little floury for me.
Made these last night and it was so yummy! Hit the spot! Thank you for this perfect single-serving cookie dough recipe!
If you had to use this cookie dough as self defense: Some day’s it is like play dough and you can ball it up and chuck it at someone! Other day’s all you can do is let it ooze out of the dish on their head! But each day that person would open their mouth and let it drop in. They would then simply shout: “DELICIOUS!” And everyone who has had this recipe [including me] would know exactly why! thank you so much for sharing! It is the best cookie dough I ever had!
Kristelle – thank you so much for stopping by to leave these kind words. It warms my heart to have such positive feedback!
Perfect serving size! This is the best idea ever! Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome!
Just tried it and it is perfect! Very delicious and perfect when you need that cookie dough fix! Thanks Jessica!
My daughter has an egg allergy so she has never known the deliciousness of raw cookie dough. This is perfect!
Stole my heart and soul on this one Jessica! Have always loved licking the bowl from cake and cookie dough and never had a problem with raw eggs. Thanks again for this one……….Regina
Oh yes!! So glad to read your post today! I’ve always wanted to cut a recipe to make less. Yay!
Yummy! Can someone make this for me right now? Perfect for a late night snack!
I would love single servings idea. Chocolate chip cookies are my fav!
Oh I totally miss cookie dough since I have been eating healthier. My son would love that
There’s nothing I love more than a good cookie dough recipe and this looks simply amazing. Thanks for sharing.
My husband loves cookie dough. This would be perfect for him!
Wow, where has this recipe been my whole life! I am such a Cookie Dough freak!
Perfect treat for one – I will be making this!
This is a great recipe for when you just want one good size cookie. I will have to try this for sure.
I made this once for my 5 year old. Now he constantly begs for ‘that cookie we can eat before it goes in the oven’ LOL It’s SO good.
Now this is my kind of snack recipe. I pinned this. I have a feeling it will be in my future very soon.
This is a great idea! I definitely crave a single serve!
I’m so happy I found this, because I love sneaking raw cookie dough, but this is okay for me to eat. It’s great. Thanks for sharing.
This recipe looks lovely and easy to make. Perfect for a snack!
What a fun treat! I’ll have to try this!
Wow. I didn’t know you could make your won single serve cookie dough. Or without eggs. But so tempting right now.
This is absolutely perfect! I love that is doesn’t contain any egg! Thanks for sharing this tasty recipe.
Yummy! This sounds like something I could eat in secret, away from the eyes of children! ha!
I like that it’s single serve. This would be great for my daughter, she’d be over the moon.
Pin for The Win! I pinned this and I am definitely recreating this!!!
Yum I have all this on hand! I should try this tonight. I’m so in the mood for it!
My boyfriend would love me to pieces if I made this for him. He’s nuts about cookie dough!
Never tried egg free cookie dough before, I have got to try it! I guess since I am leaving out the eggs I can double up on the chips right? LOL 😉
Im to affraid to eat anything with raw eggs.Great for dough lovers.
Yyyeeesss. Thank you for this. There have been SO many times I wished there was a recipe for just a little bit of cookie dough. Yum!
This is SO awesome. I always love eating cookie dough but I hate having to make a full batch of cookies to have some.
Oh yum! that does look good.
What a great idea! Unfortunately, you have a higher chance of bad things like e. coli from the uncooked flour than you would if it did have egg in it. That has never stopped me, though. 🙂
I use to love to eat the cookie dough when my mom would make cookies. Thanks for the recipe I can’t wait to make some.
I love the idea of single-serving cookie dough. My cousin and I used to eat so much of this growing up. Now, I can indulge without having too much of the good stuff!
What a great idea! I’ll have to show this one to my daughter so she won’t have to buy tubes of cookie dough from the store to eat 🙂 Thank you!
We love single serving ideas! This looks delicious.
That looks so good (minus the chocolate chips). Yep, I’m one of those people that doesn’t like chocolate, but I love plain cookie dough.
Bwahahaha – you’re single servings are so little and cute. Quadruple that and that is what I consider to be a single serving 😉
