Edible cookie dough is a safe, ready-to-eat version of classic chocolate chip cookie dough—no baking needed!
Since raw flour and eggs can carry bacteria, I use almond flour and skip the eggs. It’s totally safe and super tasty. Almond flour is delicious in cookies, like our peanut butter almond flour chocolate chip cookies or the single-serve chocolate chip cookie.

Ingredients you'll need
Scroll down to the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and amounts.
- Almond Flour - As in all my almond flour dessert recipes, use super fine variety.
- Almond butter - Almond flour does not create a smoother cookie dough compared to using all-purpose flour, such as when making chocolate pinwheel cookies. Adding a dash of almond butter helps it combine seamlessly and also enhance the nutritive value.
- Coconut oil - Coconut oil is not only a healthier option than butter, but also tastes amazing when combined with almond flour.
- Brown sugar - I like to use dark brown sugar like in air fryer chocolate chip cookies for a deep caramel flavor.
- Milk - It adds richness and moisture and helps bring the dough together.
- Salt - A pinch of salt is a must-have for all homemade cookie recipes. It elevates the sweetness and makes your healthy cookie dough taste irresistable.
- Chocolate - Use mini chocolate chips, finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate, or even roughly chopped regular chips—whatever you have on hand works!
Variations
- Make it vegan - Use almond or oat milk and vegan chocolate chips, as in vegan vanilla mug cake.
- Healthier - You can swap the brown sugar for 1 to 2 tablespoons of maple syrup if you like, though I personally prefer the flavor of brown sugar.
- Peanut butter - Use peanut butter instead of almond butter or swirl in more peanut butter at the end.
- Snickerdoodle - Mix cinnamon into the healthy cookie dough with almond flour and also sprinkle cinnamon sugar.
- Birthday cake - Skip chocolate chips and use colorful sprinkles for a festive touch.
- M&M - Stir in chopped M&M candies instead.
- Red velvet: Add a dash of cocoa powder and red food coloring.

How to enjoy this cookie dough?
Just mix up the cookie dough and dig in! That said, I like to chill it for at least 2 hours—it firms up a bit and the flavors come together for an even better taste.
You can scoop it into a container to chill and enjoy by the spoonful, or roll it into an 8-inch log, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. Then slice it into thick rounds and store them in the fridge for a quick, guilt-free treat anytime.
In a rush? Pop the dough in the freezer for a couple of hours—it firms up fast and slices easily.
Recipe tips
- Use dark brown sugar for a rich molasses flavor and extra caramel notes.
- Not into coconut oil? Melted butter works just as well.
- For the best texture, use mini semi-sweet chocolate chips or finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate—Ghirardelli is a great choice.
