    Healthier Edible Sugar Cookie Dough (Vegan & Single Serve)

    Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

    If you like healthier cookie dough recipes, you need to try this single serve, vegan edible sugar cookie dough. As it is only for one person, the yield only produces a very small portion. It also takes less than 10 minutes to make which is great.

    This recipe also much healthier than your typical sugar cookie dough as there is no white sugar in it. Instead, I used natural sugars such as, medjool dates and maple syrup.

    When I make a larger batch of cookie dough, it will often go to waste. Those of you who can relate to that will find this option helpful for sure. It's super simple and only requires seven ingredients!

    Some other quick and easy recipes that you will enjoy include my vegan melted snowman cookies, vegan mini pancakes and vegan lemon poppy seed mug cake.

    • Healthier Edible Sugar Cookie Dough (Vegan & Single Serve)

    Why You Will Love This Cookie Dough

    • Super Easy - Making this healthy cookie dough recipe is really simple. All you need to do is heat treat the flour, combine it with the date mixture and finally pour and fold in the oat milk and fillings.
    • A Healthier Option - This sugar cookie dough doesn't contain any superfine or granulated white sugar which makes it a much healthier and conscious treat option. If you like healthier desserts, you should also check out my vegan pan fried caramelized bananas.
    • Great Consistency - How do you like your edible cookie dough? This recipe creates a thick consistency and it works really well. The oat milk also makes it a little creamier too, like the soy milk does in my vegan brownie cookie dough.
    • Allergy Friendly & Plant Based - This edible sugar cookie dough recipe is completely vegan and dairy free.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Medjool dates - The dates really help with the consistency and I can confirm that this recipe really does taste like cookie dough! Yes, this particular cookie dough is much healthier and less sugary than your everyday, store-bought version but medjool dates are so transformative with their caramel-like texture. If you like them also see my vegan peanut butter stuffed dates, vegan sticky toffee pudding and vegan chocolate mousse.
    • Maple syrup - This is the secondary sweetener in this recipe. Again, it is more nutritious than white sugar and it gives the cookie dough some nice flavor.
    • Oat milk - Just a drop of this should be enough to make the cookie dough creamier. It is a game changer, in terms of the final outcome.
    • Dairy-free chocolate chips - Stir these into the cooke dough batter as a filling. You can use any type that you want. Dark, milk or white chocolate chips all taste great.
    • Chopped hazelnuts - This is the other filling that I like to add to my cookie dough recipes.

    See recipe card for full information on individual ingredients and quantities.

    Substitutions & Variations

    • I appreciate that some people prefer their cookie dough to be smoother than average. If this applies to you, feel free to add a little extra oat milk than recommended. However, also be careful to you don't add too much. You can also use other kinds of plant milk such as, almond milk and soy milk. For all you oat milk lovers out there, why not give my vegan nutella chocolate oat milk crepes a go?
    • Although this healthy cookie dough is single serve, the recipe is easily doubled, tripled. All you need to do is multiply the ingredient amounts by two or three. This way you will have the exact same outcome, except there will be more cookie dough to enjoy!

    How To Make Edible Sugar Cookie Dough

    For the full method, please refer to the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    1: Firstly and most importantly, heat treat your flour so that it safe to consume.

    2: Pit your blend dates and blend them with a little water.

    3: Now, combine the vegan butter, date paste mixture, maple syrup and vanilla.

    4: Gradually add in the flour so that the cookie dough thickens.

    5: Pour in a drop or two of oat milk to make it creamier.

    6: Finally, fold in some chocolate chips and nuts.

    Expert Tips

    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 the 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 us very unwell.

    Choose the best dates - 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 taste so good! They have a meatier texture than most types of dates and quite a unique sweetness too! Just don't forget to pit them before placing them in a blender/food processor!

    Recipe FAQs

    Why do I need to heat treat my flour?

    Before making a treat like vegan cookie dough, it is so important that you heat treat your 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.

    Do I have to use medjool dates for this cookie dough?

    You can use any dates you like. Medjool dates are a little more pricy, but also the tastiest, according to many people. If you are using smaller dates, perhaps you could use two for every one larger medjool date.

    Is edible cookie dough good for you?

    This particular recipe is made with pretty healthy ingredients but some recipes may contain other things which are not as healthy. 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!

    How can I store edible cookie dough?

    As this recipe is single serve, I recommend eating it on the same day that you make it so that it is fresh. You can store it inside the fridge for up to three days. Cover with plastic wrap.

    Ingredients

    Cookie Dough:

    • 50 g all purpose flour heat treated
    • 3 large medjool dates pitted and blended
    • 45 g vegan butter melted
    • 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla
    • 1-2 teaspoons oat milk to taste
    • 1 tablespoon dairy-free chocolate chips
    • 1 tablespoon chopped hazelnuts
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    Heat treat the flour: 

    • Preheat your oven to 180 Celsius (350F).
    • Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread the flour onto it, evenly.
    • Once the oven has preheated, place the flour into the oven for 5-6 minutes.
    • Carefully remove the tray from the oven and allow your flour to cool fully.

    Making your vegan cookie dough: 

    • Pit your dates and add the to a high-speed blender or a food processor with two teaspoons of water. Pulse until fully combined then empty the date paste mixture. Add an extra teaspoon if needed.
    • In a small bowl, bind together the melted vegan butter, date paste, maple syrup and vanilla. Once you have done that, gradually begin to add in the flour.
    • Next, add the oat milk a teaspoon at a time, to taste. I recommend 1-2 teaspoons.
    • Lastly, fold in your chocolate chips and serve immediately. If you like it more firm, you can place the cookie dough into the fridge for an hour or so.
