INGREDIENTS AND SUBSTITUTIONS
- Flour - This edible cookie dough can be made with either all-purpose flour or a gluten-free flour blend such as Bob's Red Mill 1-1 gluten free flour blend. I have not tested any other flour type.
- Chocolate chips - I like to make these with dairy free dark chocolate chips or chocolate chunks. You can also use mini chips if you want them more disbursed. The brand Enjoy Life makes allergen friendly, vegan chocolate chips that you should be able to find at your local grocery store.
- Coconut oil - This vegan edible cookie dough does not use butter, and uses coconut oil instead. The coconut oil allows the cookie dough to take shape. Use a liquid coconut oil or a hard coconut oil that is melted in the microwave is perfect.
- Maple Syrup- A natural sweetener that perfectly sweetens this cookie dough. Use real maple syrup for the best flavor.

Step 2. Add in the chocolate chips. Using a spatula, fold the chocolate chips into the batter until they are equally distributed.
