Eggless Cookie Dough
My favorite dessert is cookie dough. Whenever I make cookies, I snack on the dough so much that by the time the cookies are ready to eat, I’m usually real done with sweets. And every time I think, “Is this the time I’m gonna get sick? Will I be regretting this delicious ball of sugar and butter at 3 am?”
Well, no more wondering because I just came up with the PERFECT eggless chocolate chip cookie dough that is entirely edible!
Uncooked flour can carry harmful bacteria. Raw eggs can carry Salmonella.
Not only is this yummy dough eggless, but it also has heat-treated flour. You don’t have to travel all the way to New York to get this delicious edible cookie dough.
Let’s Make It!
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread 1 and 1/2 cups of flour on a baking sheet. I used a large round cake pan because that’s what was clean at the moment. Bake the flour for 3 minutes, stir, then bake for another 2 minutes. Let it cool completely. You can turn off the oven.
Cream one cup of granulated sugar with one stick of softened, salted butter.
Add two tablespoons of vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
SIFT the cooled flour into the bowl and mix.
Normally I don’t bother with sifting because I don’t care about things being perfect and it seems like a waste of time. But baking the flour really makes it clump up. So, it’s actually necessary this time…grumble grumble.
Throw about 10 Oreos into a plastic bag and wack eat cookie about 2-3 times. DON’T pulverize them! We’re looking for chunks.
I found that it becomes grainy and sandy in texture if you really crush the living daylights out of the cookies. We like our pieces THICC.
Throw the oreos chunks and 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips into the dough. Mix it until it just comes together.
At this point, you are free to just shovel the dough into your mouth with your meat hooks. It’s soft, buttery, delicious, and full of vanilla and chocolate flavor. SO GOOD!!!
Eggless Cookie Dough Truffles
But if you’re feeling a little more sophisticated, let’s continue on to making the truffles. It’s so easy and the chocolate layer really adds so much,
Plus, I noticed that the chocolate shell keeps the cookie dough flavors fresh longer.
Slap your dough onto some parchment paper, on a baking sheet. Flatten into an 8 inch by 8 inch square.
Use a pizza cutter to cut the square into 6 sections on one side, turn and cut it again into six sections. You’ll end up with 36 little squares.
Now you can either roll each square into a ball or just leave them as squares. I did some of both.
Slip that baking sheet into the freezer for about 30 minutes. If yo don’t freeze the dough it will be very difficult to dip it. The melted chocolate softens the dough too much and it falls to pieces when you try to shake the excess chocolate off.
Time To Dip!
When the dough is nice and frozen, grab your melting chocolate and follow the directions on the packaging to melt it properly. Usually, 30 seconds at a time. Make sure to stir it every time you take it out.
Get out another cookie sheet and line it with parchment paper.
I used Dolci Frutta chocolate melting wafers. It’s usually at Walmart, in the fruit section by the strawberries. If you can find it, it is worth it to buy this stuff. It has a unique chocolate flavor and melts so easily. You’re probably gonna need two containers of chocolate, which comes out to 16 ounces of melting chocolate.
Melt your chocolate and add about 1 teaspoon of shortening – per can of chocolate. Mix until the shortening is melted and incorporated. This will thin the chocolate so it’s more drippy. You can get a more delicate coating with thinner chocolate. It doesn’t effect the taste.
Throw 2-3 Oreos in a bag and you can really crush them this time. Have at it! We’re looking for crumbs to top the truffles.
Take out about half of your frozen dough. With a fork, dip a dough square into the chocolate to coat all sides. Tap the fork on the edge of the container to smooth out the top and to get rid of extra chocolate. When you don’t see any more chocolate dripping off, use another fork to carefully slide the truffle onto the second cookie sheet.
You might think you want a thick ole layer of chocolate but a thin coat is plenty. It balances all the flavors really nicely.
Re-heat as You Go
Re-heat the dipping chocolate as you go. The cold dough will cool your chocolate down. That’ll make it thick and gloopy. I stuck the chocolate back into the microwave after every three squares of dough. Re-heat for about 15 seconds and mix. Then keep dipping.
Top the truffle with a sprinkle of cookie crumbs before it hardens. If it does harden, just put a tiny dollop of chocolate on top and sprinkle the crumbs on that.
Now pat yourself on the back for a job well done and pop one of those puppies into your mouth. You earned it!
Jessica’s Eggless Cookie Dough Truffle Tips
You can use a cookie scoop to make your dough balls and skip the flattening and cutting steps. Just make sure you roll them in your hands to smooth the dough.
Do NOT use water to thin out the dipping chocolate. It will seize up and you’ll have to re-melt it and add shortening to it anyway to get it smooth again.
You can also stick the dough back in the freezer to firm up if the squares are getting too soft to dip easily.
Depending on the dipping chocolate you use, you might need to stick the finished truffles in the freezer for a few minutes to firm up also. I didn’t need to because the dough was frozen enough to set it and the chocolate I used sets quickly, even at room temperature.

- Crush 2-3 more Oreos. This time you want it to be fine like coarse sand.
- Melt your dipping chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time until it is smooth.
- Add 1 teaspoon of shortening, per can, and mix well. This will make the chocolate thinner and easier to work with.
- Using a fork, dip each frozen piece of dough into the chocolate, one at a time. Tap the fork on the side of the container and let the extra chocolate drip off. Use another fork to slide the truffle onto the second baking sheet.
