How Do You Make Cookie Dough From Scratch Without Eggs?

First and foremost, I want you to understand that most edible cookie dough recipes won’t have eggs.

Shocked? Don’t be.

Though raw cookie dough recipes will certainly contain eggs, you won’t have to worry about that when it comes to edible cookie dough. The reason is that eating raw eggs can cause you to become very ill as they bring with them certain types of bacteria that can cause unwanted symptoms. Rather than take the risk, most edible cookie dough you find will be an eggless cookie dough recipe, and the recipes I’m about to give you are no different.

A second thing you’ll want to remember when attempting edible and delicious cookie dough is that you need to make the raw flour safe to eat.

That’s right. Raw flour has the propensity to make people sick the same way that raw eggs do. The reason? Believe it or not, raw flour also contains many of the same germs and bacteria that raw egg does when it isn’t cooked. It is the cooking process that works to kill bacteria in raw flour. It is for this reason that you must heat treat flour before using it in edible cookie dough.

Wondering what heat treating flour looks like? No worries. I’ll explain that in the segment coming up. Sit tight!

How to Make Edible No Egg Cookie Dough

Making edible egg free cookie dough is relatively easy.

Scratch that. It is very, very easy.

However, as previously mentioned, making edible cookie dough means you’ll need to heat treat any wheat flour you are using in order to make it safe to eat raw. If you want to get your flour heat treated before starting your recipe, follow these steps:

• Spread the all purpose flour to be used in your edible cookie dough recipe evenly across a lined baking sheet.
• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Once the oven is warm, pop the baking sheet in the oven and cook for about 7-10 minutes, taking care not to burn.
• Allow the flour to cool completely before using it in your eggless cookie dough recipe.

Eggless Cookie Dough

And now for the moment you’ve been waiting for! I’ve got several dynamite recipes lined up for you, all of which contain no egg in the recipe. Bear in mind that each recipe requires that you heat treat your flour using the method described above. Also, although these recipes aren’t necessarily vegan by design, you can absolutely make vegan edible cookie dough simply by substituting the butter for vegan butter and swapping applicable mix-ins and other ingredients with vegan-friendly options.

OK, and now, without further ado, let’s get into it!

Can You Freeze Eggless Cookie Dough?

Yes, you can freeze eggless cookie dough. But when you do, it may help to portion it out first.

To do so, scoop your cookie dough into balls before placing in an airtight container or freezer bag. This will make it much easier to thaw your edible cookie dough individually without having to thaw the entire cookie dough batch.

Can You Leave Eggs Out of Cookie Dough?

You can leave eggs out of edible cookie dough, but leaving it out of normal cookie dough may not work so well. If you want to leave eggs out of bakeable cookie dough, you’ll need to replace it with a binder of some sort. Some common replacements for eggs in cookie dough include:

• Applesauce (1/4 cup per egg)
• Flaxseed and water (otherwise known as a “flax egg”)
• Yogurt (1/4 cup per egg)
• Fizzy water (1/4 cup per egg)

How Long Can Cookie Dough Without Eggs Sit Out?

As a rule of thumb, you shouldn’t allow any food that is normally refrigerated sit out for longer than 2 hours. This is especially true if your edible cookie dough contains dairy (such as butter). Because of this, we recommend that you chill your cookie dough at least 2 hours after making.

How Long Does Cookie Dough Without Eggs Last?

Cookie dough made without eggs usually lasts about 1-2 days in the refrigerator and up to 2 months at best quality in the freezer. In either event, make sure that the eggless cookie dough is stored in an airtight container so that it stays fresh.

Otherwise, your eggless cookie dough may take on flavors and odors from other items in your fridge or freezer, and it also may dry out or become freezer burned.
