There is nothing quite like homemade cookie dough – especially after you’ve formed all your cookies and you’re left with the dough in the bowl. After many attempts of trying to get my girls to stop eating raw cookie dough, I finally made this eggless version. It’s so good and lighter than the typical store-bought edible cookie dough out there.
