Every baker knows half the fun of making cookies is sneaking bites of dough—so why not make cookie dough the star of your next baking project?
From party treats to decadent breakfasts, cookie dough makes a versatile and delicious ingredient in all of your home-cooked goodies. To celebrate the launch of our Edible Cookie Dough, here are five creative ways to use cookie dough beyond the baking sheet.
Cookie dough truffles
Looking for a classy, no-fuss recipe for your next dinner party? Look no further than cookie dough truffles. Roll pieces of our dairy-free, egg-free edible cookie dough into small bite-sized balls. Melt two cups of chocolate chips in the microwave with a tablespoon of coconut oil. Using a fork, dunk each cookie dough ball into the melted chocolate and sprinkle with your choice of toppings (flaky salt, sprinkles, or crushed nuts work great!). Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate has hardened.
Pro-tip: Crunched for time? Grab a package of David’s Edible Churro Cookie Dough Chunks to use as your truffle center. Dunk away!
Cookie dough milkshake
You can never go wrong with cookie dough and ice cream combinations. This cookie dough milkshake comes together in a jiffy and is sure to satisfy all of your sweet cravings. In a blender, combine milk, vanilla ice cream, a splash of vanilla extract, and a scoop of cookie dough (David’s Edible Birthday Cake Cookie Dough is perfect for this). Blend until smooth and top with another scoop of cookie dough.
Cookie dough pancakes
If you’re looking to brighten up your Sunday morning breakfast, cookie dough pancakes are a fun twist on the classic chocolate chip pancake! Drop small spoonfuls of cookie dough or a handful of David’s vegan-friendly Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Chunks into your pancake batter as it cooks on the pan. Flip and serve. The result? A gooey, decadent surprise inside of each bite.
Cookie dough dip
Want to impress your guests at your next backyard barbeque? A cookie dough dip will do the job. Soften edible cookie dough to room temperature. Combine with cream cheese or vanilla Greek yogurt and whip together until smooth. Serve with apple slices, strawberries, or pretzels for a delicious sweet-salty combo.
Cookie dough bark
For an easy movie night snack, give cookie dough bark a try. On a wax-paper lined pan, pour melted chocolate into an even layer. Refrigerate for twenty minutes until set. Then, spread a layer of edible cookie dough, like David’s Edible Peanut Butter Cookie Dough, on top of the chilled chocolate. Refrigerate until firm.
To finish, top with another layer of melted chocolate and sprinkle with crushed cookie pieces. Refrigerate until all three layers are set (about two hours). Remove from fridge and break into jagged pieces.
These delicious and easy recipes prove that cookie dough is not just for cookies! And if warm, fresh-baked cookies are more your thing, no problem! From classic chocolate chip to butter pecan meltaways, David’s has all your frozen cookie dough needs covered.
