Expert Tips and Recipe FAQ:
I used Anthony's Organic Cocoa Powder for this recipe. This is an unsolicited plug for a product (and company) that I really love. Their cocoa has a deep, rich chocolaty flavor that really works well. You also can't beat the price!
You can easily make this cookie dough dairy-free by using vegan butter.
Flour can harbor bacteria. This normally bakes off when you bake your dessert, but when you are eating the flour raw, you need to make sure to bake or microwave the flour to kill the bacteria.

Can you bake this recipe? I’m allergic to eggs as well.
Sandi Gaertner
As it is, no. This recipe is not intended to be baked. It has no baking powder as a leavener. If you are looking for an egg-free cookie, you can sub Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer in my chocolate chip cookie recipe. https://www.fearlessdining.com/gluten-free-chocolate-chip-walnut-cookies/

Hi there! New to this site. Would you be able to make this recipe with vegan butter? I am dairy free as well so I have dairy free chocolate chips. This looks so good! I am a huge fan of anything chocolate. 🙂
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Karin, I would think it would work, but I haven't tested it to know what the flavor profile would be. If you do try it, please come back and let us know so other readers will know too. Thank you!
