Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
16
Jun
I have a confession. When I make cookies, I really don’t want the cookies…I want the dough. I’m not even really a cookie fan (unless there’s serious chocolate involved)…ah, but the dough…It’s. Just. So. Addicting.
So yesterday I invented cookie dough that is, politically speaking, “safe” to eat. A vegan version. Frankly, whether or not there are raw eggs in the dough I’ll still pick away at it…but this is definitely a friendlier version. At first I wasn’t sure what I was doing. I was playing around with making a cookie dough party dip (I’ve been seeing these go around and they look amazing!), but I didn’t have anything to dunk in it. Then I thought I’ll make cookie dough bars that you freeze…which I did make (picture below), but then I thought people might not be as odd as me to eat cookie dough straight from the freezer.
My last idea was the best…cookie dough ice-cream. Yes.
I have to admit, that if I were to go to Dairy Queen, (proverbially speaking, of course) that the Cookie Dough Blizzard is what I would go for. Okay…once in a very, very blue moon I do go and get a small blizzard. I know, they are complete junk…but I figure once a year… (wow, there is a lot confessing going on in this post!) Anywhoo…obviously, the idea sounded very inviting. One serving would be about 1 tablespoon.
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- ¾ cup organic wheat flour
- ½ cup organic cane sugar
- ½ cup Earth Balance
- ½ cup chocolate chips (vegan)
- 1 tsp. vanilla essence
Cream the margarine and the sugar really well. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly. This makes enough for 13 servings of ice-cream (for about a half a cup of ice-cream) so I just keep a bowl in the freezer for when the occasion arises.
You can use this as a topping on my vegan “Blizzard” recipe…simply substitute the “oreos” for the cookie dough. Or use it on my vegan vanilla milkshake! Or maybe you prefer “Oreo Ice-Cream” over cookie dough…so then, eat this!
Or stick with the cookie dough version…

Wow, this looks awesome! Much, Much better than a small blizzard (although I prefer the Peanut Butter Cup kind :)
Looks awesome!
I dream of a dairy free caramel… *drools*
Great recipe. My wife is ALWAYS picking at the dough when I make cookies, and I’m always saying “You’ll get Salmonella!” but she’s been doing it since she was a kid with no ill effects. Next time I make cookies I’ll prepare this first to distract here… And I’ll have some too :)
you know i never really though of eating the dough but you are tempting me and also convincing me :)
I’m horribly guilty of eating cookie dough, but I find I like the baked version better.
Those frozen bars look awesome!
Charissa, How much margarine do you use…and what is Earth Balance…
Um, holy cow, this looks amazing!!! So glad I found your blog :)
Kelly~ Oh, that one is sinfully good too…I may have to make a healthy version of that one now!
Jessica~ Dairy free caramel…I actually a recipe similar to it if you search for caramel apple dip on my site.
Chris~ Love it!
Dianne~ Earth balance is a vegan margarine.
Jessica~ Aw, thanks! You’re welcome back anytime!
I used to eat cookie dough religiously in college… and then learned about salmonella. Yikes. Wonder if I’ll feel young again if I start eating your cookie dough on a regular basis??? ;-)

You are so kind to post the nutritional info, even though I kinda don’t want to know how much damage vegan cookie dough does to my waistline! Your vegan cookie dough recipe is much simpler than mine. http://www.carenbaginski.com/blog/vegan/chocolate-chip-vegan-cookie-dough-bites/
I’ve got to try this out – especially as a blizzard!
Is vegan healther? And im trying to lose weight. Will this vegan stuff help? And SO happy u made this cookie dough!!!!!!
Maddelyn~ Vegan isn’t necessarily healthier. Make your life simple by amping up the fruits, veggies, proteins, and reduce carbs. Reduce sugar and processed foods and you should notice a difference in weight…especially if you amp up your workouts. It’s all calories in and calories out, so listen to your body and watch portion sizes. :) Hope that helps!
How many servings does the cookie dough make? It says calories per serving but not the number of servings…
… and I mean just the cookie dough. Not mixed with the ice cream.
Krys~ Sorry I didn’t put it there…I believe it’s for one tablespoon per serving!
