Edible Eggless Cookie Dough for One Is the Late-Night Recipe That’s Really Calling Us
We’ve all been there. The house is finally quiet, we settle in to binge watch TV and we crave what every warm-blooded human does: cookie dough. Your options are usually limited to eating refrigerated, store-bought dough that really isn’t safe to eat raw, or making an entire batch that you vow to bake the next day (also not safe).
Edible cookie dough, however, is a big treat for foodies who love desserts! Smooth, creamy and delicious, cookie dough is also versatile: you can have it as is, make it into truffles, put it in barks, bake it into cookies or cakes and so much more. That’s why we love this easy recipe for edible eggless cookie dough for one.

Making a single-serving of eggless cookie dough
Cookie dough is a dreamy dessert for many—can’t live with it, can’t live without it! People typically fall into one of three categories when it comes to cookie dough:
- Love it
- Hate it
- Don’t understand how people eat it
For those who love it, you might wonder why you should make just a single serving for one? It’s all about the freshness—and the evidence. This recipe makes a single-serving bowl of eggless cookie dough. It’s just enough for one serving. If your partner is nearby, double the recipe. The beauty of a single-serving bowl is that after you are finished, all evidence of your indulgence will be gone and no one will question “why is there a bowl of cookie dough in the fridge?”
What can you add to edible cookie dough?
While I prefer good old-fashioned chocolate chips, you can use any add-ins you choose: candy bar bits, nuts, butterscotch chips or toffee. Since you’re making this eggless, your add-ins should also be edible raw.
So whip yourself up a bowl, sit back and indulge on Valentine’s Day or any other night of the year when the craving for cookie dough strikes.

Is it safe to eat edible cookie dough?
Because this recipe for one does not contain eggs, it’s safer to eat than store-bought cookie dough. That said, before you dive in with a spoon, you’ll want to toast the flour before mixing it with the other ingredients. This kills bacteria and reduces the risk of stomach problems. And if you’re not comfortable eating the raw dough, you can always shape it into cookies and bake!
Can you freeze edible cookie dough?
Yes! Although this eggless edible cookie dough is ready in just minutes, you could absolutely prep it ahead of time and freeze it. Just date the bag and seal it tight—you can freeze edible cookie dough for up to a month.
