Eggless Cookie Dough FAQs

Microwave the flour at 30-second intervals, stopping after each to stir and check the temperature of the flour using a kitchen thermometer. Once the flour reaches a temperature of 160 degrees F, it has been microwaved long enough to kill any bacteria that may be in the flour.

Some of us have fond childhood memories of baking cookies with our parents or grandparents, scraping the mixing bowl to sneak a taste of that pre-baked goodness.

I’ve tried many edible cookie dough recipes and this is a fav! Perfect texture and taste! Thank you!
So easy, quick and so much like eating raw cookie dough but better! P
So glad you enjoyed it!
Why does the dough not want to stick together? This wasn’t a hard recipe but the texture is really weird. Kids won’t eat it.
The texture should be soft and slightly sticky like cookie dough. You can add additional cream or softened butter if it’s crumbly.
Just came across this recipe and I am in LOVE! It could be because I’m 30 weeks pregnant but, nonetheless, it is delicious! I have tried many recipes that are too “gritty” from the sugars and this one is still creamy and so good! Also my chocolate chips started to melt a little, thankfully not too much, however that was my own impatience to not wait the 5 minutes for it to cool haha. Thank you for giving me a great bedtime snack! 😁
The extra salt isn’t really necessary when you are using salted butter. This same rule applies to all of my baked goods. If I used SALTED butter, I skip extra salt. If I use UNSALTED butter, I add it. Many people find that salted butter PLUS the extra salt overtakes the sweetness. It’s a rule I learned from my aunt who was a professional cake/cupcake artist. It’s especially poignant for folks who are watching their salt intake. 🙂
Hi Lori, that’s why this recipe calls for unsalted butter and salt, not both, so I’m not sure what your comment is referring to.
Sorry, Just because so many people don’t realize the difference between salted and unsalted butter. At a cooking class we took, there were NUMEROUS people who didn’t even realize there WAS such a thing as unsalted butter. People whiz through recipes and just see “butter” and go with what they have. Then later they say, “It was too salty.” 🙂 Hence the “unsalted butter” ingredient.
Our family helper always bakes fun recipes with us – she shared this with us and we never looked back! This recipe is quick and easy – make sure you have all ingredients on hand in bulk you will make this many times and in different varieties. We made small single servings in square plastic sauce containers about 1inx1in to ensure we did not eat all of the batter in one sitting. Enjoy today – bake together and share the recipe with someone. It’s worth it! Thanks sugar and soul!
My chocolate chips melted.
Did you heat treat your flour and not allow it to cool before mixing?
It was tasty but had a weird texture that kind of ruined it for me
I had to add extra whipping cream.
How much is a serving for this recipe
I want to try this recipe, but you left one thing out. How does one go about baking the flour? Spread it out on a cookie pan? Or can you pile it up in a bread tin? For how long? All you said in the article was to do it ‘briefly at 160F’, but the recipe doesn’t say anywhere on how to actually DO it…
Hi Tina, I have just added it to the post, hopefully, you will find this helpful!
It says it before it gets into the recipe.
This recipe is dangerous to know about! It looks so delicious!
Try having a huge batch in the fridge all week – definitely dangerous!
You (and your cookie dough) are my spirit animal. <3
Yassss!
