FAQ – Everything you need to know about raw cookie dough
Is raw cookie dough edible?
Yes, provided it's made with suitable ingredients. Use food-grade flours that don't require heat treatment (like almond, oat, or coconut flour), and avoid raw eggs. Raw cookie dough recipes are designed to be enjoyed safely without baking .
What is the difference between raw cookie dough and classic cookie dough?
Raw cookie dough contains no eggs or baking powder, and it's made with edible, no-bake alternative flours. Traditional cookie dough, on the other hand, is designed to be baked. The raw version is denser, often softer, and intended as a spoonful of deliciousness .
Can I eat cookie dough made with wheat flour?
It's best to avoid it. Uncooked wheat flour can contain bacteria like E. coli. To make safe raw cookie dough, opt for gluten-free flours, such as oat, rice, coconut, or almond flour.
Is raw cookie dough vegan?
Often, yes. Most raw cookie dough recipes are naturally vegan because they contain neither eggs nor dairy products. Simply use plant-based milk (almond, oat, coconut) and plant-based alternatives to butter (nut butter, coconut oil, etc.).
Can you make raw cookie dough without refined sugar?
Absolutely. You can sweeten your dough with maple syrup, agave syrup, honey (if you're not vegan), or even applesauce or banana. These are more natural options and often better tolerated.
Can I add protein to my raw cookie dough?
Yes! Simply add a scoop of plant-based protein powder (pea, rice, hemp, etc.) to create a rich and delicious post-workout snack. Be sure to adjust the consistency with a little more liquid.
Can you freeze homemade raw cookie dough?
Yes, it's even recommended if you're making a large batch. Store it in an airtight container, in small balls or individual portions. It will keep for up to a month in the freezer, and a few days in the refrigerator.
How long does raw cookie dough keep?
In the refrigerator, the dough will keep for 3 to 5 days in a sealed container. For longer storage, freezing is recommended. Note that some ingredients, such as bananas, can alter the texture over time.
Can you make energy balls with raw cookie dough?
Yes, absolutely! Simply roll the dough into 20-30g balls. You can roll them in chia seeds, shredded coconut, or even add superfoods (spirulina, maca, raw cacao powder).
Can children eat raw cookie dough?
Yes, as long as the ingredients are safe (no eggs or raw wheat flour). Recipes made with banana, almond butter, and rolled oats are perfect for little foodies. They can be prepared in 5 minutes, without cooking or a food processor.
How to achieve a perfect texture?
Add the liquid ingredients (plant-based milk, coconut oil, syrup, etc.) gradually until you obtain a smooth, non-sticky dough. If it's too dry, add a spoonful of milk; if it's too soft, add a little flour or blended oats.
Can I customize my raw cookie dough?
Of course! Add toppings like:
-
Dark or white chocolate chips
-
Crushed hazelnuts
-
Dried cranberries
-
Peanut butter
-
Cinnamon or vanilla
-
Chia or flax seeds
This is a base recipe that you can adapt according to your tastes, seasons or nutritional needs.
- Can a food processor be used or should the dough be made by hand?
Both methods are possible. If you're using rolled oats or hard ingredients, a manual chopper or small food processor can save you time. But a spatula and a good bowl are all you need. It's an ideal recipe for cooking without electricity !
