My guilt-free eggless chocolate chip cookie dough for one is the perfect portion-controlled treat. Ready in only 5 minutes!
This cookie batter is really tasty. I spent quite a few hours adjusting the ingredient quantities and re-testing. It really wasn’t as fun as it sounds. It turned into an exercise of self-restraint more than anything.
My thoughts on homemade chocolate chip cookies have always been this: the raw batter is the best part. Baking them = overrated. I grew up eating raw cookie dough, and I never got salmonella. I now hear that uncooked flour is something to watch out for as well. Call me old-fashioned, but really?! I used raw egg in my marzipan recipe like you should. I’ve never heard of anyone getting sick from raw flour, but consider that my disclaimer. 😛 With that said, I don’t think this teeny tiny batch of “edible” cookie dough is missing anything by not including the egg. One egg would be too much, and dividing an egg just ain’t practical.
The irony here is that there’s this treat that’s making the rounds on the internet again called snow ice cream. Like yeah, a dessert as pure as freshly driven snow. Everyone’s excited about it. I’m like wait a sec… something about that just screams unsanitary to me. *clutches pearls* I keep thinking of acid rain. And God only knows what else makes its way in there. My top tip: don’t eat yellow snow. Oh and stay tuned for a snow ice cream recipe coming to this blog soon. Just kidding.
Aaaaanyway, back to this. This really is portioned for one, so you really don’t need to feel guilty about calories assuming you only make one batch (recipe easily doubles or triples or quadruples by the way). 😉
You’ll like this recipe if:
- You like very sweet cookie dough
- You prefer your cookie dough on the softer/creamier/smooth side. If you prefer a more “doughy” texture, you could try adding more flour or reducing the amount of milk

OMG are you serious? This is amazing. I’ve just taken the butter out of the fridge so it can soften in time for an afternoon cookie dough treat.:)
Excellent!! I hope you like it. 🙂
My son Casey is going to LOVE this! Portion control will definitely be a problem.
Haha yes, I totally struggle with that!! Hope he enjoys it! 🙂
I am going to try this right now! Hope it’s good❤️
Hope you like it, Samantha! 🙂
Not to sound rude but you can’t eat raw flour it isn’t healthy and can cause you to get sick. Is there a way I can have it without flour?
Hi Avery. I did a quick Google search for “cookie dough without flour” and some results came up that you may find useful. I’ve never made cookie dough without flour, so I can’t recommend anything other than that – sorry!
Maybe you can use ground almonds/hazelnuts/other nuts? I’ve never tried this, but maybe it’ll work.
You can toast the flour in the oven to cook it first!
You can put the flour in microwave to heat treat it, which will kill any bateria that may be present before using in any recipe. Let it cool down before using it in any recipe. 😉
Great tip! Thanks.
This looks amazing! and your photos + site are gorgeous <3
Aw thank you!!
Do you know if there’s anyway to navigate this awesome recipe without a hand mixer?
Hi Charlotte, I actually did try that initially, but it ended up a crumbly mess! I’m not sure that it’s possible, unfortunately.
If you mix together the butter and sugars and milk (and I mean more like beat with a fork), you should be ok. I’ve tried it and it’s amazing!!!!
This sucked so much. I followed all the instructions perfectly and it turned into a soupy mess. I hope that you find a better way to spend your time than with this recipe
Sorry to hear that. Not sure how it could turn soupy if you followed the recipe. Did you melt the butter? It shouldn’t be melted. That’s the only way I can think this would turn soupy if you did follow all the quantities suggested.
Amazing! Recipe was perfect, turned out just like stated soft cookie dough!
So happy to hear that, Rhonda!
This turned out great! I definitely think a previous poster must have measured something wrong. This was simple, easy, and I just mixed by hand (/spoon), no problem. I avoid mechanical mixing when it seems possible, just to simplify. It was not crumbly for me at all! Thanks for sharing!
That’s good to know, Natasha! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the support, name twin. 😉
Just had this as a fix for my sweet tooth. Absolutely delicious. Thanks for posting!
Awesome! So happy it satisfied your craving. 🙂
I have tried it and now I am eating it its so much yummy
Love u!!😘
Excellent! So glad you like it! 🙂
Hey all!
This is seriously so good and probably dangerous… I just wanted to make one small suggestion to the recipe. Add a pinch of salt and this stuff is so good!!
Hope you try it!
Yay!! A pinch of salt is a great idea!
10/10 Thisbe was great. I did add the extra flour a small i like my dough thicker, but it was the perfect sweet fix thank you!!
So happy you liked it!!
Hi Natasha. I just put a batch of this in the freezer and can’t wait till it’s done. I licked the spoon and the bowl so I know I’m going to LOVE it! Thanks for posting this easy, delicious treat.
Excellent! So happy you love it! Frozen cookie dough is soo good.
How exactly is this guilt free…? I feel guilty just reading the ingredients.
It’s all about moderation and portion control. 🙂 When I bake cookies, I definitely sneak larger portions of the raw cookie dough than in this recipe.
This recipe is definitely amazing. It had the texture I wanted and I definitely enjoyed it. I like that it has portion control.
A few things… 1- do some people in these comments *cough cough, point* not know how to enjoy life?! 2- I didn’t know I was out of chocolate chips until I was done making this so I substituted it with white chocolate chips (I hate white chocolate 😝). 3- I could totally tell this is an amazing recipe despite the chip dilemma! Definitely pinned this so I can make it properly later!
Hahaha thanks, Heather! I know, I had no idea cookie dough could be so controversial. I guess you can’t please everyone. It’s funny how some people love the recipe and others loathe it! That is too bad about the chocolate chips… hopefully you can remedy the situation soon. 😉
Hi! I love the recipe, but I was wondering if u could substitute the brown sugar with anything else as I don’t have any and can’t really leave the kids to go to the store
Hi Muffy, hmmm that is a good question. Since this is raw cookie dough, I’m not really sure what would work. For baked cookies, you could sub white sugar and they’d just bake up a bit crisper, but I really don’t know if it would work in cookie dough.
Do you have any idea what the calorie count is in this recipe ?
Hi Shea! I can’t say exactly since ingredients do vary, but a rough estimate is around 400 calories.
Sooooo good!!!
I added in some macadamia nuts, just for the fun of it. My son used Reesie’s pieces instead of chocolate chips, it was great too!
I think the soupy one about melted the butter or maybe didn’t use enough flour or something.
And we LOVE snow cream around my house. We use sweetened condensed milk in ours though & never use the first snow. I also let it snow for a good while then put a huge bowl outside to catch the “cleaner” snow. We are in the south and in the country so it’s a once a year treat and we don’t have smog and all that stuff like big cities. I’ve been eating it for 37 years and never had a issuie. Like those who love raw cookie dough or cake batter with eggs and flour. 😜
Thank you and be blessed.
Thanks, Nickel! Your additions sound great! Haha I like your snow cream story. 🙂
I love snow cream toi! Pbbbt, it’s a once a year treat for us, what’s the harm? One of my cookbooks actually says to use a raw egg in it but I have no idea why?! I just add sugar, milk and vanilla. Sometimes chocolate syrup or other toppings. And yes, it has to be a good, deep, fluffy snow.
Haha agreed! 😉
I loved this recipe, however it was too sweet for me. I recommend using less sugar.
Thanks, Caitlin! Glad you enjoyed it, and hopefully you can adjust the sugar next time so you like it even more. 💕
Just saw this recipe and can’t wait to try it! I have three boys with an egg allergy. This will be something great to try for them. I know this recipe is meant to eat as cookie dough but how is it as a baked cookie? P.S. Chocolate chip cookies are my daughter’s favorite dessert.
Hi April, sorry to hear about their egg allergy! I hope they love this! I have not tried this as a baked cookie. I left out ingredients such as baking powder or baking soda, and the quantity is tiny, so it would need a lot of tweaking. I think if you wanted to bake it, you’d probably be better off googling a different egg-free recipe.
I was not impressed, the dough was to sugary and there was very little of it.
Sorry to hear that. I did put in the post that it is very sweet. The idea is that it is a small, portion controlled treat.
Wouldn’t exactly call this “guilt free” lol😊 But yummy! It can certainly be mixed with just a fork. Don’t make a bunch of dirty dishes for such a small amount! Mine is sitting in the freezer a little to get firm…if I can wait long enough!
Thanks, Amber! 😉
I tweaked this a bit by adding in about half a TBS of creamy peanut butter at the end, and it is wonderful! I liked it before, but the PB adds in another level 🙂
That’s an awesome idea!!
Can’t wait to treat myself to a little cookie dough! I feel like this would be tasty with ice cream!
Hope you love it, Hannah! I think it would be great on ice cream!!
