This Edible Cookie Dough doesn’t have any eggs in it, so you may eat it directly from the bowl without feeling too guilty.
Let’s be honest: we all adore cookie dough just as much, if not more, than cookies.
than course, we usually bake our cookies instead than just eating the dough.
This cookie dough without eggs will blow your mind.
I have something to say. I created this cookie dough that you can eat one weekend when my husband was away with the girls. I planned to have some left over when they got back from their fishing trip. But it didn’t happen at all.
I will confess that I didn’t eat everything by myself, though. I used half of the recipe to create chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. When everyone got back from their camping trip on Sunday afternoon, there was still some left for them to enjoy.

As it is, this recipe makes enough cookie dough to fulfill the desires of around six individuals. And it stays good in the fridge or freezer, so I usually make the whole thing. But if you only want one, here’s how to make it smaller. I thought I’d do the math for you so you wouldn’t have to.

- 2 to 3 tablespoons of cream
