Who needs cookies when there is cookie dough! These fun bars skip the baking and let you enjoy that cookie dough flavor without the worry.

Cookie dough is one of my favorite parts about making cookies.  While the finished product is good, the dough is usually even better.

While swiping a taste from the bowl is one of those guilty pleasures you get to enjoy as a cook, it’s not something you generally share with guests. Though they might love it, serving them a bowl of dough would seem quite strange.

Plus there are the food safety issues.  With uncooked eggs and flour in the dough, there are risks.

Now I know we have all survived many a bite of uncooked cookie dough and lived to tell the tale. That is a risk-rewards balance I am usually willing to take in my own life too.

However, there are ways to make dough that makes it both more presentable and less risky, so why not? Making the cookie dough egg free and into bars makes it a much more acceptable dessert.

How to Make No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bars

Just whip up a quick and easy peanut butter dough and stir in some chocolate chips.  Pat that into an 8″ square dish.

Then mix up a quick melted white chocolate frosting.  This batch was dyed blue for the cold winter feel, but you can customize it however you like.

A dusting of sprinkles makes anything more fun. So of course that is the case with these too.

If you save a little of that white chocolate before you add the coloring, you can drizzle it over the top for even more fun.

Chill it until it is set and cut it into bars. Viola! Your cookie dough dreams can come true!

How to Heat Treat Flour

In recent years, the concerns over eating raw flour have grown.  If that is a worry for you, don’t despair.  You can still have your cookie dough!

I believe there are companies that sell flour that is treated and safe to consume straight from the bag.  Though eating flour from the bag sounds nasty, so I don’t recommend that… but you know what I mean!

But why pay the upcharge when you can treat it yourself? It’s super easy and much more economical.

Just spread the flour over a baking sheet lined with either a silicone mat or parchment paper. That isn’t full necessary, but will help you transfer the flour later.

Put the tray of flour in the oven and bake it at 350 F for about 7 minutes.  Let the flour cool completely and then use to make all of the edible cookie dough you want!
