The Best Edible Cookie Dough | High Protein, Gluten-Free + Dairy-Free

March 4, 2020 Comments : 4

Jump to recipe

I don’t know about you guys, but I enjoy eating cookie dough more than actual cookies! Obviously eating raw eggs is frowned upon…so I’ve spent a lot of time perfecting a delicious, egg, gluten, and dairy-free edible cookie dough recipe that is meant to be eaten by the spoonful – no baking required!

Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough | Gluten-free, Dairy-free Cookie DoughThere are lots of edible cookie dough recipes out there – let’s be real – but I’ve tried a bunch and I’ve tweaked my own recipe to combine some of my favorite aspects of each of the types I’ve tested. I also wanted to incorporate a punch of protein into my recipe to make this indulgent treat a little bit healthier and more filling, rather than just empty calories – and that’s how this yummy concoction came to life.

Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough | Gluten-free, Dairy-free Cookie Dough

Ingredients

  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder (I like Orgain)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1/4-1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 2-3 tbs non-dairy butter (I use Earth Balance)
  • A dash of vanilla
  • Almond milk, adding a little at a time while stirring to make a dough-like consistency
  • Lots of chocolate chips! Maybe 2/3 cup to 1 cup (You can use Enjoy Life brand for dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Add dry ingredients to your mixing bowl and mix well. I use my KitchenAid mixer, but you can also do this by hand.
  2. Add butter to a small glass bowl and soften in microwave, approximately 15-30 seconds.
  3. Add peanut butter, followed by softened butter and vanilla to dry ingredients and mix well. Mixture will be very thick and a bit dry at this point.
  4. Begin pouring almond milk, a little at a time, to mixing bowl while stirring constantly. I like mine to be the same consistency as real cookie dough (something that holds its shape if rolled into a ball), but you can also add more milk to make it creamier and thinner.
  5. Finally, add in your chocolate chips and stir to combine.
  6. Grab a spoon and enjoy!

Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough | Gluten-free, Dairy-free Cookie DoughAs you can see, I don’t have exact measurements for a lot of the ingredients – that’s because it’s hard to mess this up and so easy to tweak to your preference. Sometimes, I’m in a mood for peanut butter, so I’ll add a little more than normal to amp up the peanut flavor (and probably use less almond milk). Other times, I’m craving chocolate and will add as many chocolate chips as I can. Okay, let’s be real….that’s every time.

Variations of Edible Cookie Dough

You can also make different variations of edible cookie dough using different flavors of protein and add-ins. I️’ve used chocolate protein powder before.I️ also love pumpkin chocolate chip cookie dough: simply cut back on the peanut butter (to 1/4 cup) and add 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree. You may also find that you need less almond milk when you add pumpkin.Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough | Gluten-free, Dairy-free Cookie Dough

Note that this makes a full bowl of cookie dough, so you can share it with others or pop the remainder into a container and keep it in the fridge or freezer to enjoy later!

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️

@prolonfmd Day One | The struggle is real 😅 I’ve done cleanses in the past so I’m no stranger to this…but coming off a few weeks of holiday drinks and some indulgences, today was no easy feat 🤣 My energy definitely ebbed and flowed throughout the day, and felt weak and nauseated every now and then from lack of calories and protein 🙈 It was the longest day ever, but I cleaned, vacuumed, mopped and then did a @onepeloton walk & yoga class and still had time left over (side note, why doesn’t every day feel this long?! 😆). Actually feeling good this evening after having a sparkling water ‘mocktail’, energized and clear-minded 👌🏼

2022 — what a year ✨ It challenged me in so ma 2022 — what a year ✨ It challenged me in so many ways, but I also thrived in many ways. Continuing to grow a business with a husband, three kids, a dog and two cats is not a simple feat but here we are 😏 We adventured a LOT this year - from Girl Scout adventures to family vacations to HHI, the mountains, OBX and more, we had plenty of fun and made lots of memories 😘 The best part of this year was just really allowing myself to live in the moment and not allow stress to overtake me as I’ve allowed it in the past 😅 I also rediscovered my love of running thanks to my @onepeloton Tread and hit big goals at @purebarre_highlandcreek 💪🏼 Here’s to living more in the present, accomplishing bigger goals and dreams and having an amazing 2023 🥂
