Raise your hand if you sneak dough from the mixing bowl when you’re making cookies at home…
(I’m raising both hands)
But, unfortunately, we’ve all heard the warnings about salmonella from uncooked eggs. Did you also know that there are warnings about e. coli in raw flour too? I just learned about that one.
So, I whipped up a recipe for us so that we can all get our cookie dough fix in a safe and delicious way. By using almond flour and leaving out those eggs.
Almond flour is made from almonds that have been blanched to remove the skins. They’re ground to a fine texture much like flour. Plus, almond flour is easy to find right in your local grocery store.
Almond flour is gluten free. It’s also paleo and low-carb! Meaning that these cookie dough bites are basically health food in my book.
Ingredients Needed
It only takes 5-ingredients to make these cookie dough bites:
- Almond Flour
- Brown Sugar
- Butter
- Vanilla
- Chocolate Chips
(There’s also a pinch of salt and some water in there, but I’m assuming you have that on hand already.)
How to Make Almond Flour Cookie Dough Bites
- Combine flour, sugar, melted butter, vanilla, salt and mix.
- Mix in chocolate chips.
- Add water until the mixture is no longer crumbly.
- Roll into balls.
- Let cool in the fridge or freezer to firm up.
Or, you could go the simple route and just eat this cookie dough right out of the mixing bowl…
Can I Use Regular Flour Instead of Almond Flour?
You can definitely use regular flour instead of almond flour in this recipe. If you are concerned about e. coli, you can heat treat the flour by baking it in a 350-degree oven. Sprinkle it evenly on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, then remove and let cool before using.

You had me at edible cookie dough. I’ll be making dessert tonight.
I hope you love them Jana!
I had no idea raw flour could be hazardous, that’s crazy! Anyway, these look delicious and I love the simplicity of 5 ingredients, I’m pinning!
Thanks Kelsey!
YUM yum yum! I am totally making these! Thanks, Erin! 🙂
You’re welcome Marlynn – Enjoy!
These hit the spot! My kiddos are always telling me that they love cookie dough more than the cookies themselves, but I never let them have more than a taste because of the raw flour & eggs. This recipe ticked all the boxes, leaving everyone happy! Thanks for a tasty & simple recipe!
*I did scoop with a tablespoon but only got 19 cookie dough balls. Maybe I should have packed more almond flour in?
**Also, I am going to sub the butter for coconut oil (maybe adding coconut flour too) to make them dairy free as well; using vegan brown sugar and vegan chocolate chips would be nice for any vegans who want to partake in this yummy treat!
Reading the nutrition facts, I see that it is 100 calories per serving.
How much is one serving of this recipe? Please tell me it is the whole bowl!
Hi JB – That’s the approximate calorie count for one bite. Hope that helps!
Sounds delicious! Cant wait to try them 🙂
Very nice! The brown sugar and proportion of vanilla and chocolate chips cuts the sometimes sharp (if that’s the right word) undertone of the almond flour. I ate it as a ball right out of the bowl. Thank you for the recipe! I enjoyed it a lot more than some others I’ve tried!
I’m so glad you liked them Holly!
I was looking for a recipe because I was craving cookie dough, but didn’t want to risk the salmonella. This recipe worked perfectly! I’ve made it about 4 times now and they’ve turned out perfectly everytime! I would recommend this recipe to everyone!
So happy to hear that Alpana! I need to make a batch now!
Thanks so much for this recipe! I can’t eat egg and prefer to eat fewer carbs, so it was perfect; the dough held well and was delicious.
I didn’t have chocolate chips handy so instead I added a teaspoon or so of cinnamon powder and made a sort of snickerdoodle dough. I think choc chips would’ve been better to break the monotony of the flavour though.
I also used 1/4 cup of stevia/erythritol mix instead of sugar – worked perfectly.
Thanks for sharing your substitutions Sara! Your snickerdoodle idea sounds super yummy!
Hi! Is the nutrition value per cookie bite or what amount equates to the nutritional values you posted?
These were delish!! I used 1/2 chocolate chips and 1/2 peanut butter chips. My kids loved them. Thanks
You’re welcome Shawn!
This was really good! I made it for my family because we ran out of regular flour
