A lot of us probably have fond memories of baking cookies. Or, really, we have fond memories of cookie dough. Moments before you dipped your spoon into your batch of homemade cookie dough or a tube of store-bought cookie dough (we’ve been there), a voice rang out in your mind: “You’ll get salmonella!” You either begrudgingly used that spoon to scoop out cookie-sized dollops of cookie dough onto a baking sheet or you went the route of living life on the wild side. After all, cookie dough is indisputably one of the most delicious dessert creations to ever grace the earth’s surface.
Well, we’ve got good news for ya, cookie dough lovers — you don’t need eggs to make cookies. That means when you make a big batch of vegan cookies, you can skip the middleman (the oven) and get right to the good stuff without having to worry about that pesky salmonella the adults in your life warned you about. And at One Green Planet, we love cookie dough so much, that we have recipes that are all about cookie dough.
You heard right — we have recipes that will satisfy cookie dough-loving part of your soul like nothing else. Just try and make it through these 12 cookie dough recipes from the Food Monster App without stopping halfway through and running to the grocery store for ingredients.

Margaux Mouton‘s Cookie Dough Chocolate Pops are pretty epic, considering how easy they are! And if you’re lacking in sweet potato and are a bit more adventurous you can even use chickpeas (with more non-dairy milk) or pumpkin, but the latter will definitely change the flavor. The best part is, you don’t need any fancy popsicle molds to make them (all though you totally could use them if you have them).
3. Brownie Brittle With Chickpea Cookie Dough Dip

The brownie brittle is like a chocolate cracker, which is the perfect edible transport system for getting the cookie dough from the bowl to your mouth.
