It was inevitable. After stuffing ourselves full of my ever so popular edible gluten free cookie dough over the past few months, we needed a change. I almost feel like a rebel when I say that.

Our obsession began when my daughter created this simple edible cookie dough recipe. Then it grew into a version that could double as an edible cookie dough frosting!

Finally, we settled on this new gluten free chocolate cookie dough. We loaded it with chocolate chips to make it extra chocolaty!

Why this recipe is great:

  1. You no longer have to warn your family not to eat the cookie dough because of raw eggs in the batter!
  2. You won't have to chase your husband out of the kitchen when you are trying to make cookies.
  3. You can use it for lots of other purposes, like as a crust for a frozen ice cream pie recipe.
  4. This gluten free cookie dough recipe freezes really well so make a double batch! No need to buy cookie dough when you can make your own!
  5. If you freeze a bunch of this cookie dough, you can get to it anytime and have edible cookie dough for one!

Have I convinced you to give this easy creamy cookie dough recipe a try?

What you need to make this recipe:

edible chocolate cookie dough ingredients
  • Gluten free flour blend - You can use any blend in this recipe.
  • Butter - Use vegan butter if you want to make this recipe dairy-free.
  • Chocolate chips - You can use bittersweet, dark, or milk chocolate chips. For dairy-free use Enjoy Life brand.

Recipe step by step directions:

One of the things you will need to do before making this recipe is heat your gluten free flour to make sure it doesn't contain any bacteria. This can be done two ways, in the oven, or in the microwave.

Step 1: Bake your gluten free flour for 10 minutes at 165º F or microwave oven by cooking on high for 30 seconds.

Step 2: Add the dry ingredients to a bowl. Whisk to blend them together.

Step 3: Add the softened butter and vanilla and mix well.

Step 4: This is what your cookie dough will look like when it is mixed up. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Expert Tips and Recipe FAQ:

What cocoa is best in this recipe?

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!

Can you make this recipe dairy-free?

You can easily make this cookie dough dairy-free by using vegan butter.

Why do you have to bake your flour before using it in this recipe?

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.

How long will this keep fresh?

This cookie dough will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.

    Can you bake this recipe? I’m allergic to eggs as well.

      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. 🙂

      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!
