Tips For Making This Single Serve Healthy Vegan Edible Cookie Dough Happen (For The Best Outcome)
Avoid making your cookie dough soggy. Like I previously mentioned, some people prefer their vegan cookie dough to be creamier. Make sure that when you add your plant milk, you don't pour too much at once. This can cause the cookie dough to become far too wet and it can be difficult to revive it from that point onwards. Instead, add a drop of plant milk at a time and try to be as patient as possible.
Make sure that your flour is cooked. Before you even begin to mix the cookie dough ingredients, you need to remember to do one incredibly important thing. Heat treat your flour. As you're probably aware, human beings should't eat raw flour. It can make you very unwell. Just in case you didn't know, make sure you that you place your flour in the oven before adding it to the other ingredients (full info on recipe card). It's an easy mistake to make.
Choose the best dates for the job. Dates are a really important ingredient in this recipe and I highly recommend that you choose medjool dates. They're often easy to source in an ordinary supermarket and they just taste SO GOOD! They have a meatier texture than most types of dates and quite a unique sweetness too! Just don't forget to de-seed them before placing them in a blender/food processor!
As we're in the festive season, you may want your vegan cookie dough to have a Christmassy flavour. Feel free to add spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon (to taste).
To Make this easy recipe, all you need to do is:
- Heat treat your flour.
- De-seed and blend dates.
- Mix the vegan butter, date paste, maple syrup and vanilla.
- Gradually add in the flour.
- Add a drop of plant milk, if desired.
- Fold in chocolate chips and nuts.
COOKIE DOUGH HEAVEN
Yes, this cookie dough is much healthier and less sugary than your everyday, store-bought version but I can confirm that this recipe really DOES taste like cookie dough! The dates really help with the consistency and I think you will really enjoy this one. Although this cookie dough is for one person, the recipe is easily doubled, tripled etc.

Single Serve Healthy Vegan Edible Cookie Dough FAQ's:
Before making a treat like vegan cookie dough, it is so important that you heat treat you flour first in the oven. The high heat allows the bad bacterias to be eradicated and also keeps the flour usable in treats like edible cookie dough.
You can use any dates you like. I understand that medjool dates are a little more pricy. However, they are the best dates I have ever had. That is just my opinion. If you are using smaller dates, perhaps you could use two for every larger one medjool date.
This particular recipe is made with pretty healthy ingredients but some recipes may contain other things. If you don't want chocolate chips in yours, you are more than free to leave them out. You can even replace them with a healthier alternative!
