If I could only eat one dessert for the rest of my life, it would be cookies. And even more specifically, just the DOUGH.
With this edible cookie dough, you can enjoy the taste safely – it has no eggs, and the flour is toasted so you can eat your dough in peace, with no one telling you NO. 😉
I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t snuck some dough here and there in my life, but being pregnant and craving cookie dough, I figured I should be a little bit safer.

Is edible cookie dough safe to eat?
This is one of the safest types of cookie dough you can eat for two reasons:
- The flour has been toasted, killing any potential bacteria that can be in raw flour.
- There are NO EGGS, so you don’t run the risk of getting a food borne illness that way, either.
Can I bake this cookie dough?
Unfortunately, no. There are no rising agents in most edible cookie doughs, so it won’t work to bake. If you’re looking for a good cookie recipe, we’d recommend this Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe or our White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies.
To store:
