Pro Tips for this recipe
- Because they don’t bake you actually have a lot of latitude to play with the recipe! Reduce the sugar, add more milk, try subbing some of the chocolate chips for toasted walnuts. Everything works because you don’t have to worry about the bake!
- Cookie dough will keep in an airtight container refrigerated for up to five days or in the freezer for two months.
- Sub half the flour for toasted almond meal for a delicious boost of protein!
- Make this into edible sugar cookie dough by using 1 cup of white sugar instead of the brown and skipping the chocolate chips.

Thank you so much for sharing this yummy recipe! The info about why you need the flower etc is very interesting, im happy I found your website.
Used gluten-free flour and added 1/2 semi sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 white chocolate and two tablespoons of sprinkles. Delicious!!!
I added peppermint extract and a little green food coloring with mini chocolate chips instead for a mint chocolate chip dough 🤤
Great recipe! Absolutely foolproof…I messed this recipe up, but it still turned out great! My sister enjoyed it a lot.
Can we use this cookie dough as pie crust for banoffee pie?
SERIOUSLY good. Too nice. I made them, then added smarties and mini Reese’s cups and it was 5 times more addictive than alcohol. And a lot better tasting. One thing (which certainly wasn’t a problem for me) is that it does make a lot, so unless you’ve got a hungry family of at least four, I would recommend halving the ingredients. Amazing recipe, would 💯 recommend and will certainly make again! Thank you!
Just did this with kiddos as they both love cookie dough and I am not a big fan. Needed a quick activity to break up otherwise super crazy day of working from home and school work. This was super quick (I pre-cooked the flour yesterday as I had a cake in the oven already so it was hot). Today it was just simple throwing everything in the bowl and mixing. We made half a batch (just to try) and split that half into 2: one with dark chocolate chip and one with white. Both were delicious! And I now see why kids love cookie dough. Will certainly make it again and put it in homemade ice cream for ultimate desert.
