A delicious egg-free, dairy free Vegan Cookie Dough recipe just for you! Made in one bowl and with just 6 ingredients, this will be your new go-to recipe when a sugar craving strikes.
Vegan cookie dough is becoming a staple in my diet, so I thought I’d share the recipe so you can enjoy it too! It’s the perfect texture and ideal for those nights when you’re craving cookies, but aren’t feeling up for the task. Or, when all you really want is cookie dough. After dinner treat? Cookie dough. Late night snack? Cookie dough. Heck, afternoon snack? Yup, that too.
Growing up, my mom always had cookies in the house. It didn’t matter the time of day or the day of the week, rest assured my brother and I always had cookies in our bellies. Anything from snickerdoodles to sugar cookies to the infamous chocolate cookies–she made them all. As much as I loved the cookies, one of my favorite things to do was to eat the raw cookie dough.
I know some people say eating raw cookie dough is “bad”, but those people have clearly never tried vegan cookie dough. Personally, I don’t think eating a bite or two of regular cookie dough will harm you, but you can rest assured knowing that this egg-free version will not only not get you sick, but it’ll leave you feeling completely satisfied.
VEGAN COOKIE DOUGH INGREDIENTS
- Flour
- Sugar
- Baking soda
- Butter (dairy free)
- Vanilla extract
- Chocolate chips (dairy free)
HOW TO MAKE VEGAN COOKIE DOUGH
Did I mention this recipe is made in one bowl? Because it is!
Mix dry ingredients: In a small/medium bowl, stir the flour, sugar and baking soda together.
Add wet ingredients: Add the butter and vanilla into the same bowl with the dry ingredients.
Microwave, and then stir: Microwave the bowl for 10-15 minutes, which will allow the butter to soften. Then, stir everything together until cookie dough forms (if the mixture seems too dry, add one tablespoon of milk). Last, stir in the chocolate chips.
*If you don’t own a microwave or don’t want to use want, melt the butter over the stovetop, then pour it into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Don’t melt it ALL the way; you just want it to be softened.
SUBSTITUTIONS
FLOUR: I used all purpose flour, but you could also just gluten free all purpose flour or whole wheat flour, which will help to maintain the flavor. Yes, you can use almond or coconut flour, but they will give the cookie dough a different flavor.
SUGAR: I used granulated sugar, but coconut sugar will also work. I don’t recommend maple syrup or honey because they are liquid sugars, and therefore will completely change the texture.
I hope you make this, eat it, love it, and then become addicted. I’m sorry I’m not sorry!

Notes
Easily satisfied my need for chocolate chip cookies.
I’m glad this did the trick!
wow. I was craving cookie dough and this was perfect. I didn’t even put in chocolate chips. This was exactly what I was craving. Thank you!!! It’s awesome
Woohoo–glad you liked the cookie dough!
Made this with brown sugar, and just 1/2 a tsp of vegan butter with a dash of soy milk (not a huge butter fan). It turned out so delicious! Thank you for this super easy recipe 🙂
I’m glad you liked it and that the substitutions worked!
I used almond flour in this recipe and it was awesome! Thanks for posting and keep em coming!!
First, terrific recipe and thanks for sharing! Cookie dough can right here. But second, I love your writing! Always makes me laugh and feel like I’m hanging out with a friend 🙂 but not in a creepy way, I promise!!
I’m a little mad at you because now I have to have this and I’ll probably make it ten times too because it looks so good! I hope you had a great time in PR!
This is brilliant! Sometimes a girl just needs a scoop of cookie dough. 🙂
Love the pic of the cookie dough covered spoon. Pinned!
Hi Erin! My go to snack when I crave chocolate is either homemade cocoa (sweetened with honey) or a super-thick chocolate smoothie (with bananas, avocado, chia seeds, chocolate chips, cacao, and ice).
I recently found your blog and I love the design and your content :). Please keep the desserts for one coming! I’m so sensitive to sweetness now that I’d probably cut down to 2 tbsp for this cookie dough xD. 4 tbsp of sugar already consumes more than half of the recommended daily amount for women (6 tbsps).
This looks like perfection. If I show my husband this he will be so excited! Thanks for sharing 🙂
This cookie dough looks SO GOOD. Do you think it would be as good subbed with coconut oil instead of the vegan butter?
Aaaaaaah! Have so much fun in the PR! Live it up and then show us all the photos!
I’m loving this cookie-dough-for-one concept. I may just have to make a double or triple batch, because: volume eater right here 😉 JK, it’s perfect for keeping my sweet tooth under control.
Does this mean I don’t have to share? I can see myself eating this for dessert often because I can’t resist cookie dough, especially when it is vegan!
Mmm this looks so so good. I love cookie dough! I made homemade ice cream for the first time a couple weeks ago. Perhaps I should add some of this next time… 😉
Have fun in PR!! Hope you post some pics to IG 🙂
yesterday was rough, i could have used this to cope. LOL! and your PR tips for a vacation i so need! LOL!
I may try this with coconut flour – to make it GF but also because I love the coconut taste and have no notions of what cookie dough tastes like (it’s not something we ate back in the UK). Then again I have a feeling this may be lethal! Haha!
How exciting about PR! Even if you have to do a bit of work you will be doing with with Miguel by your side which will make it so much better!
The texture of this cookie dough looks SPOT on.
I’ve always said that I liked cookies over cookie dough, buuuuuut that’s mostly because this girl is afraid of raw eggs 😆 So this basically looks like perfection and I’d eat the entire thing in one sitting. Juuust saying.
PR again!!! SO JEALOUS. Have fun!
And this cookie dough is going to be filed in my brain as “okay to eat every night after dinner” 😉
I looooove this! And how perfect that I already have all the ingredients ;). I’m thinking this would make for a perfect “I made it through Monday, time for dessert” treat tonight!
I have always wanted to go to Puerto Rico! I was thinking about going with my sister next year, but some people said it is pretty unsafe. I guess they say that about everywhere though! Have fun! And this cookie dough! YUMMMMM
Ooh, you just had your wedding dress delivered as well?! I still haven’t gotten to see mine that I ordered in my size yet and I do not get to see it until October 9th when I fly back to my mother’s house. The anticipation is killing me. And Puerto Rico–I have always wanted to visit! I may hit you up on those tips and insights one day…
This looks perfect for those times when my sweet tooth acts up (like after EVERY meal!) BTW – could I sub ground oats/oat flour instead? I must try it and see what happens! Hope you enjoy your time away and squeeze in some much needed R&R!
I will make this, double or triple the servings and still call it for one as it probably taste amazing!
Mmm, this looks so good! It reminds me of this vegan chocolate chip cookie dough cinnamon bun I had in Berkeley…ugh, the best!
And yay PR!! I hope you have a wonderful time! Soak up every second of sunshine for me. 🙂
That chocolate sweet tooth craving hits me every.single.night. So yeeeppppp, this recipe is basically the holy grail for a girl who sometimes bakes cookies JUST to eat the cookie dough hahaha. It gets to the point where I get so sick of the dough that I hardly even touch the cookies once they come out of the oven. Now I don’t have to feel bad about potentially wasting cookies that way (<—– biggest tragedy right there) and can get my fix in using a healthier recipe than my norm.
Love love loveeeee!
I would totally eat this! Cookie dough’s so addictive. Jealous you’re going to PR today! I’m going to Charlotte today. For work haha. Definitely not the same thing. Happy travels!
Uhm, yes please! Ahh I just love anything to do with cookie dough, haha. I don’t have coconut sugar but I’m guessing regular sugar would work!? Getting your wedding dress is so fun! I remember when mine came in. I couldn’t contain my excitement and get there faster, haha. Have a wonderful trip!
Yay for wedding dresses and friends and yoga and PR! And, of course, this recipe. I’m busting it out for the next rainy day here in Pittsburgh…so like, later today.
EEEE cannot wait to see your wedding dress. I can’t even imagine how exciting that must be. Oh and this cookie dough? Yeah I don’t think I could be trusted around it.
this looks amazing!!! im actually compelled to lick the screen!
While your weekend might not have included any parties or else getting your wedding dress IS a major happening. I can’t imagine the excitement.
I’ve always preferred cookie dough to actual cookies so hi! This sounds delicious and like a great way to balance out all that kale and broccoli ;). Admittedly, my go-to when craving chocolate is just that: chocolate bars.
