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 must you bake your flour before using it in this recipe?

Flour can harbor bacteria. This typically 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 fresh for up to 4 days in an airtight container or up to 4 months in the freezer.

  1. 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. 🙂

    1. 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!

    2. 5 stars
      This recipe is amazing I made it for my mom who is gluten free dairy free and soy free and we used enjoy chocolate chips and it’s amazing.

  2. I like the ice cream pie idea, but do not like raw cookie dough (I know. I know. I know!!) 🙂 Is there a recipe you would recommend for a gluten free baked chocolate cookie crust?TA

  3. 5 stars
    Love the fact that this cookie dough does not have any eggs. I don’t know if it would last long enough in our household to actually makes cookies with it as it is just to decadent to pass up. Sharing of course!

  4. 5 stars
    I love cookie dough for dessert! With this being gluten free, I think I’ve found my new favorite recipe for it.

  5. This looks so delicious, and very adaptable as well. I do love sneaking a pinch of cookie dough when making cookies but never thought to make “edible” cookie dough to eat as it is!

  6. I’m not a raw cookie dough eater, but I do agree, if you’re going to eat it raw, it has to be homemade! That’s a no-brainer to me! Great recipe, and it would actually entice me to try it!

    Thank you for this recipe, now I can make my sons happy they don’t have to wait for the baking. I enjoyed the video.
