The BEST Edible Cookie Dough that is paleo, vegan-friendly and takes less than 5 minutes to whip up! A healthier cookie dough that is meant to be spooned and not baked.
When I was younger, my friends and I would want to make cakes and cookies all the time.
We would use a mix of sorts. Mix everything together and then eat the batter and nothing would end up even baking. I’m not sure it is the rebellious energy that comes with eating cookie dough in combination with how delicious cookie dough is. But what I do know.. ya girl lives for some cookie dough!
This cookie dough recipe is paleo, vegan-friendly and it is made with all healthy ingredients like almond flour, coconut sugar + coconut oil.
I created this recipe based off of my Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies (paleo + vegan). They are hands down my favorite healthier cookie because of how doughy they are. And they are also one of the most popular recipes here on the blog.
I took a few of the key ingredients in that and modified it a bit to fit my dream cookie dough needs. I have to say, I am very impressed with how well it turned out. I have pretty much zero self control over this and tend to finish the batch in a day or two. But with it only taking 5 minutes to make, who cares?! You can easily whip this up anytime.
What ingredients you’ll need to make this edible cookie dough:
- Almond flour – I haven’t tested another flour here but you could use almond meal (more on almond flour here)
- Coconut flour – I haven’t tested another sub here
- Coconut oil – in liquid form but you can melt solid coconut oil and let it cool
- Coconut sugar – the main sweetener in here. I don’t recommend using a liquid sweetener as the consistency would be off
- Non-dairy milk – any variety works!
- Vital proteins collagen – totally optional here but I love adding it for an extra collegian and protein boost
- Dark chocolate – I always use this one, code RACHL for free shipping

This was so dang good! I misread the coconut flour and instead added dried coconut chips. It was still amazing. Next time I’ll add both coconut flour and coconut chips to it!

Hi Rachel,
This cookie dough is LIFE!! I needed to stop eating mini-eggs, but find something to still satisfy my little sweet tooth craving and this is it, I LOVE it. I can have a little tablespoon (or two) and I’m good, it’s so yummy.
The first thing I ever made of yours was the chickpea bark – also LIFE!
Dinner tonight is Philly Cheesesteak Skillet and I’m excited for that!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Rachel

After being diagnosed with gestational diabetes, I am constantly on the hunt for new recipes that will satisfy my pregnancy sweet tooth while also keeping my blood sugar under control… I just finally tried this recipe (and ended up eating half of it…) with no blood sugar spikes! Yay! So tasty too!!!
Rachel
YAAYYY!!!!!!! makes me so happy!!
Jenn
This cookie dough is SO good!! I added the baking powder just in case I wanted to bake the dough. Decided and put a large tablespoon (or two) in the microwave for 15 seconds, even more delicious with melted chocolate!
Danielle
Such a good and easy recipe! I made half of the recipe and stuffed 8 dates with it and I still had some leftover and put in a mason jar. Now it looks cute AF in the fridge. Thanks for the dope recipes! Due to gastro issues, I have had to eliminate gluten, dairy, grains and refined sugar and with your recipes, I do not feel like I am missing out at ALL.
Rachel
yay thank you!! love that
