Frequently asked questions:
What makes this recipe healthy?
Well I would never call cookie dough “healthy” but this recipe is healthier than other cookie dough recipes as it is gluten and dairy free and instead of using refined sugar it is sweetened with maple syrup or honey.
What makes this gluten free cookie dough safe to eat raw?
This cookie dough is egg-free which makes it safe to eat without cooking or baking. While some people do choose to eat raw eggs, I would not recommend it given the potential risk of contracting bacterial infections such as salmonella.
What makes this edible cookie dough paleo:
This cookie dough is safe for the paleo diet as it is both grain-free and dairy-free. It is also sweetened with honey or maple syrup so it is also refined sugar free. Note that I have never been able to find chocolate chips sweetened with anything but cane sugar, but if you can find ones sweetened with coconut sugar that would be even better.
What chocolate chips are dairy-free and soy-free?
In order to make this chocolate chip cookie dough both vegan and paleo you will need to use chocolate chips that are dairy-free and soy-free. These are my favourite brands:
- Equal Exchange Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
- Pascha Organic Dark Chocolate Baking Chips
- Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips

Hello! Can I use coconut milk from a can or does it require more of the beverage style from a tetra pack?
You can definitely use canned! Just make sure it’s full fat and that you stir it will first so that it’s nice and smooth.
