Eggless Cookie Dough

Stacey – April 19, 2016 – 42 Comments

This Eggless Cookie Dough is perfect for those folks who can't wait for the cookies to come out of the oven!

Heather absolutely adores cookie dough.  Heck, I think she makes cookies sometimes just to be able to snatch some of the raw dough.  And even though raw eggs don’t scare us too badly (e.g. Lemon Icebox Pie, Lemon Icebox Delight), we certainly don’t make a habit out of eating them.  So, I set out to create an egg-less version that would be safe and just as tasty.  I think I hit the nail on the head.  Like seriously.

Doing a little research, I found that there’s also some concern about eating raw flour – that it might contain pathogens.  So eating it is at your own risk.  That said, there’s some evidence that suggests heat treating the flour will eliminate the bacteria.  Various methods include microwaving it, toasting it in a large skillet, or even baking it.  I’ll let you make a decision about what’s best for your family.

I know what’s coming next…  “Can you bake this?”  Yes, but I’d recommend adding an egg and about an additional 1/2 cup of flour.  But it’s cookie dough.  And that’s the point.  Just eat it.  Y’all enjoy!  🙂

    I was wondering if I can use salted butter? (maybe remove the salt from the mixture?)

    I would take oats and grind into oat flour using blender or food processor in substitution to the white flour; has a better taste, too.

    Hi, sorry but I didn’t like this. The texture was strange but I’m afraid I didn’t like the taste either. I’m often outside the popular opinion though. It’s still sad that I had to throw away cookie dough.

    this is pretty good. just a caution to other bakers: be very careful with the vanilla! a little goes a long way. i added a few drops too much on accident and it made the cookie dough not very good. i do love the recipie though!

    Thank you!! I’m SO excited to try this! I used to eat raw cookie down all the time, raw eggs or not, but I didn’t like giving them to my young kids. Now I don’t have to worry!!!!

    Why add baking soda if your not baking them? Just wondering.

      The baking soda adds a flavor and saltiness that makes it taste like authentic cookie dough. You’re welcome to leave it out though.

    If white flour causes illness (maybe), what about using organic almond flour? Do you think that would be better against bacterial contamination?

      That’s probably a safer option, though I don’t know a whole lot about the way it is processed.
