Eggless Cookie Dough for one is an edible chocolate chip cookie dough that you can whip up in minutes for a perfectly safe cookie dough treat!

This eggless cookie dough is SO EASY to throw together. It only takes like 2 minutes to gather the ingredients and mix them up and then you’re ready to eat delicious, irresistible cookie dough (that is totally egg free and edible!)
I’ll be honest I always eat a spoonful or two of cookie dough when I’m making a batch of cookies, and I lick the batter clean when I’m making brownies or cakes. I mean, who doesn’t love licking the bowl clean after making a batch of cookies, or eating a small grab of it along the way.
When I was pregnant I was always extra careful about what I ate, so I didn’t want to eat any raw eggs, just in case, and this cookie dough came to the rescue.
But even when I’m not pregnant I still crave cookie dough, and its always better to be safe. And honestly sometimes I want cookie dough even when I’m not making a big batch of cookies, so this is the solution.
I’ve made cookie dough truffles and about a half dozen cookies for two, so why hadn’t I thought of combining the two ideas and making some edible cookie dough that I could just eat by the spoonful.
(Now let me warn you, there are some things saying that raw flour is also bad for you – I haven’t had any problems with it, but be warned). You can heat the flour hot enough to remove any risk of bacteria by baking it in the oven at 350 for 5 minutes, or microwaving it for about 30 seconds. Or you can try using Heat Treated Flour, I talk about that in my Halloween Cookie Dough Pops post.
Making up a a bowlful of this edible cookie dough for two (or lets be honest, edible cookie dough for one) is the perfect late night treat after a long day of work, or a long day with kids, or just because you’re craving it.
This recipe makes the perfect small bowlful, so its just right for you – or you and a friend if you’re being generous. Just like my chocolate chip cookies for two, but in dough (eggless dough) form.
How to make edible cookie dough for one?
Add your butter, brown sugar, and sugar to a small bowl and cream them together for a couple minutes. Then add in the vanilla extract and milk and stir until combined.
Add in the salt, and flour, and mix until you have a nice soft cookie dough. Add more flour, if the cookie dough is too soft and wet. Fold in the chocolate chips, and enjoy right away.
You can either eat the cookie dough by the spoonful or you can roll it up into little cookie dough balls and eat those! The cookie dough balls are super good immediately, or you can pop the balls in the fridge or freezer for whenever you need a little bite of cookie dough! (Which is pretty much always, right?)
How long does eggless cookie dough last?
The cookie dough should stay good in the fridge for about 1 week in an airtight container. Or stored in the freezer for 3 to 6 months.

This is incredible!! I was craving a sweet snack and found this! I made it once and it was delicious, so I made it again! I plain on making it another time it’s amazing.
Lilly says
I had a really hard practice and I made this, and it was soooo good, definitely helped improve my mood
Jessica B.L. says
I am only 5 years old (and a half) and I longed for a salmonella-free cookie dough recipe. During my inquiries I found only a lack of quality, a turmoil-inducing variety inaccurate formulas, unfathomable to me as the concept of cookie dough itself should be fairly simple.
O joy, as I stumbled upon this fine article, brimming with joy as I noticed the option to show the recipe in metric. The concept of cups is lost on me as the mass and volume of ingredients greatly vary, but I digress.
I must thank you for your thorough research and lovely prose.
My only tip I could give, and excuse my short experience with this as I am only 5, but you do have a good amount of chromatic aberration in your photos, perhaps you could upgrade your photography tools, but that is meaningless in the scope of this brilliant recipe, take it more as advice for your future writings.
Take care and I wish you well, yours truly

Dristen says
I’m an 11-year-old, but I am used to baking big batches of treats. I bake two or three-layer cakes just for fun. Today I didn’t really feel like it. So I found this recipe and tried it. It turned out amazing, and the person who made this recipe should get an award.
Aimee says
Thank you so much. You just made my morning <3
charlie says
would it be fine without beaters and just using a spoon to mix ??
Aimee says
I usually just mix it with a fork actually, you don’t need a mixer for it!
Audrey Reich says
WEll i just need to know if it will stillbe gopd with out milk….
Aimee says
It needs some sort of liquid to give the cookie dough the right consistency, since there are no eggs. If you don’t want to use regular cows milk, you could use any other types of milk, like almond milk, or soy milk. You could try water, though I think it will lose a little richness
Dee Anne says
These are great! Thank you!

I am 12 years old and this recipe is really easy to use. I reccomend using this recipe for littler ones since it doesn’t need any dangerous cooking tools. And it is absolutely delicious!
Aimee says

example says
so tasty and tastes just like real raw cookie dough defiantly going to take some self control not to make it every day!
Alex Lang says
Delish and super easy. Really great with semi-sweet to give it that extra flavor!!
Stella says
I’ve used this recipe twice and both times it has been so tasty. 5 stars!
Aimee says
Yay! Thank you so much ☺️
Katie says
I have made this recipe more times than I care to admit! It’s delicious and such a guilty pleasure. I came to make one of the other cookie doughs (the peanut butter or sugar cookie one you have recipes for) tonight but couldn’t bring myself to skip an opportunity to make the tried and true classic again! I added some dry old fashioned oats to it and it is fabulous with that added too! Thanks for an awesome treat for after the kids are in bed. 🙌🏻
Aimee says
This makes me so happy Katie! How much oats did you add? That sounds so yummy! Also the peanut butter version is definitely worth trying sometime 😉
Katie says
Probably about 2-3 tablespoons, but I didn’t measure. More oats is always better for me when it comes to chocolate chip cookie dough 😅
rachel chance says
This recipe was good but 743 kcals is 743,000 calories. This doesn’t make any sense. Also, is the little bowl of cookie dough really 743 calories, that just seems like a lot.
Aimee says
If you google it, the Calorie we actually refer to is actually kilocalories. One (1) kilocalorie is the same as one (1) Calorie (upper case C). But otherwise the calorie amount is generally correct, the exact ingredients you use will change it slightly.
Jessica B.L. says
Rachel how can you say that 743kcals is 743000 calories? I mean it is very, very basic knowledge that we count in kcal, and the fact you assertively say this article is wrong is mind blowing to me. Make sure you’re certain of something before trying to prove someone erroneous, especially if you’re wrong yourself, it makes you look stupid. I’m 5 and even I know this. And yes butter is mostly fat, it should be no surprise that this is 743 kcals with the amount of sugar on top.

Tamsyn says
this is by far the best edible cookie dough I have ever made, even without chocolate chips!
Aimee says
Thank you, that makes me so happy to hear!
MPT says
I’ve seen several people comment that this recipe has no flavor???? I think you need to look at the quality of ingredients that you purchase for this recipe.
First time I made this I used some generic vanilla extract and butter and the result was good. Later I used Nielsen Massey Madagascar Vanilla (expensive but I found a sale at the Homegoods store!) and KerryGold Pure Irish Butter (Sam’s Club). The addition of these two brands was a game changer!!
Aimee says
Great suggestions! Thank you!
