Did spooning into a bowl of freshly mixed cookie dough as a child make you feel deliciously rebellious? Uncooked eggs were no match for your wild-and-free spirit. But as an adult, you act more sensibly. Now, you’ve got plenty of reasons to avoid raw dough—and those eggs are only a small part! (Hello, excess sugar, butter and white flour!) To keep that innocent, rebellious thrill alive, opt for this inner-child-pleasing version of cookie dough, made with plant-based ingredients you can feel good about eating. And, since you might not want to add “cookie dough” as a single addition to your food diary, whip up this non-dairy shake and boost your favorite treat.
