I'm not too good in the kitchen, but I've always loved to lick the bowl or an electric beater on the rare occasions I do bake. In truth though, I'd never considered the risks of eating raw egg until reading this book.

The Edible Cookie Dough Cookbook by Olivia Hops is a book for all skill levels (including beginners like me) and the author takes you through the risks of eating raw egg and flour. She tells you how to pre-heat your flour and every one of the 75 recipes in this book are egg-free.

The very first night I started reading this, I jumped up off the couch and rattled around the kitchen to mix up a batch of Peanut Butter Cookie Dough and it was delicious! It didn't look terribly appetising sitting in the bowl but trust me, it was a taste sensation.

Next on my list to try is the White Chocolate Cookie Dough and Birthday Cake Cookie Dough, assuming of course that 'boxed yellow cake mix' is simply vanilla cake mix. That's the trouble sometimes being an Australian cook reading an American recipe book, some of the ingredient names vary but thankfully both measurements were always provided.

The Edible Cookie Dough Cookbook by Olivia Hops is a delight to read and will definitely get your taste buds going. And the best part? You can eat the dough right out of the bowl!

"The Edible Cookie Dough Cookbook" provides the scoop on making "safe" cookie dough that isn't intended to be baked. While everyone was concerned about the raw eggs when eating cookie dough it turns out that the flour now is the big concern and this book starts by showing you how to safely treat flour to make these raw doughs.

The Lemon Cardamom Dough has been a hit in the household. I see making some of the simple (& cleaner) cookie dough recipes & portioning them into ready to eat bites with the small cookie scoop. I'm looking forward to making classic Chocolate Chip, Matcha Green Tea, Candy Cane, Key Lime Pie, Coconut, No-Bake-Cookie.

Beyond some simple recipes there are many recipes that rely heavily on pre-made baking mixes (cookie, cake, brownie) to create the edible dough. Personally, I'm puzzled by the heavy reliance on these - how do we know the flours in these mixes is safe for raw consumption? The later half of the book includes receipes for making more elaborate desserts with these cookie doughs as a component - but honestly, isn't cookie dough best served with just a spoon?

Overall, a fun cookbook read to spark some creativity for making easy to pack/transport lunchtime sweets.

Free ARC NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This cookbook is available for consumption on September 4th.

The Edible Cookie Dough Cookbook is exactly what someone with a big sweet tooth needs for endless options of great desserts. I think many people enjoying eating cookie dough, but this book allows you do that safely. It also delivers the opportunity to try a wide array of recipe options for every palate and has recipes that would fit nearly every dessert making occasion. The first section focuses on cookie dough recipes. Most are pretty simple recipes, but there are a few more intricate ones as well. The second section allows you to use your cookie doughs to make out of this world desserts if you want to do something more complicated or mix more flavors together. I recommend this book to the cookie dough enthusiast or anyone who enjoys a homemade sweet treat.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.

Welp, that whole diet thing is over. So many great ideas and combinations that can really get your creativity going. I have a real hard time resisting cookie dough anyway, but with so many recipes and beautiful pictures, I can't help but think of how many I want to try.

Most of the recipes can be changed with just a few tweaks: use different types of chips, like butterscotch or dark chocolate! Throw in a tablespoon of peanut butter! A cup of cake mix! OMG. You could even sub sweetener for some of the sugar. Wow.

So yeah, this is going to keep me busy for a while.

This book should come with a disclaimer: do not read while hungry! As an adult I know I shouldn't eat raw cookie dough...but that doesn't stop me from doing it, and Ms. Hops book is the perfect solution. Full of mouthwatering recipes, drool worthy pictures and creative ways to use edible cook dough make this book a winner.

There is no eloquent way to say this: I want to make all of these recipes and cram it in my gob.

I love the pictures, the layout, even the font choice -- everything is so whimsical and delicious looking. I am not exaggerating when I say that I was having a pretty crummy day and this book rescued me.

Time to have a cookie dough party.

I loved it!!! I always saw the doughs on shops and now I now how to do some of the best flavours!!!
I think that this book is original and a good one for dough lovers

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.

Oh My Goodness!!!!!
This is filled with truly divine recipes and photos that will make your tummy rumble and your mouth water.

Unless you are lucky enough to live in one of the few places where edible cookie dough is available then this book is essential, I kid you not you will wonder how you have lived without it.

Packed full of simple, original and delicious recipes that are easy enough for children to help out with but give results that are really impressive.
A really great book that will destroy any diets for good!

Who doesn't love a bite of cookie dough? Where my Daughter lives in Tennessee and in other places there are shops who sell edible cookie dough. For what those shops charge fr a small cup of edible dough with this book I can make a whole bunch.

There are 75 recipes in this books as well as tips and tricks. The important heat treating your flour is also included. The recipes are made of easy to find products, with no egg.

The book is also filled with yummy full color pictures of each recipe. the recipes are quick and easy to make. In no time you can be munching. There is something for everyone with every taste in this book.

I received this book from the Author or Publisher via Netgalley.com to read and review.

Most people sit down with a bowl of popcorn when they watch a movie. My friends and I always preferred a cup of cookie dough. Of course, once we were older and heard about the possible diseases, we had to stop eating it straight from the fridge. I’ve been extremely disappointed that the whole unbaked trend has not made it to my city yet. I was excited to see this book. Hopefully the recipes would be easy enough that my homemade version would suffice.
My kids and I flipped through the options to see which to make first. After narrowing it down from a dozen, we decide on basic chocolate chip. I had all the ingredients for that one in my house already, and i didn't want to wait. It tasted so similar to normal cookie dough. i wont admit that we ate the whole batch that night...

Some of the recipes have a couple extra steps, but most are fairly simple. There are flavors for everyone, from basic like Birthday cake , ones from my childhood like no bake cookie, ones that step it up like monster, fruity ones like key lime, ones that are a little less sweet, even one for dogs. it seems there is something for everyone. I loved that the author added notes on ideas for customization. For instance, we can’t wait to turn a basic chocolate recipe into a peanut butter lover’s dream.

Before you start the recipe section, the author tells you specifically how to prepare the ingredients, and gives some tips/ troubleshooting ideas. She follows the recipes with a section for things you can make with your dough if you’d like- cakes, cheesecakes, brownies. And finally, there is an index. There was a table of contents at the beginning- but it only covered the “sections” of the book. I would have appreciated a page listing of the dough flavors at the beginning so that I could find the one I want quickly.

Thank you Olivia Hops, Netgalley, and Quarto Publishing for the ARC.

The Edible Cookie Dough Cookbook by Olivia Hops

Remember eating raw cookie dough when you were little…and then again when making cookies with your children or grandchildren? Or even say in ice cream? There was always the worry that you might get sick since the ingredients were raw but it was oh so very worth it. Now imagine you are given 55 SAFE recipes for cookie dough safe to eat raw! That is exactly what you will find in this cookbook along with numerous ways to use the dough in more elaborate desserts. And, there are family favorites like snickerdoodles, chocolate chip, oatmeal and others along with some more fancy ones like lemon or chai. Great sounding recipes!

As I read and looked through I could see myself making the recipes with my granddaughters or giving the book to friends with children or grandchildren. It would be fun to use for baby or bridal showers or for school fundraisers or…well…the list is endless.

I enjoyed learning why raw cookie dough is dangerous not only for the raw eggs but because flour can carry E. Coli bacteria…and the book gives the way to make sure the flour is safe to eat.

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I give it to others as a gift? Yes
Would I buy it if I saw it in a local store? More than likely ;)

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Harvard Common Press for the ARC – This is my honest review.

So many cookie dough recipes! There are so many fab variety's in this book. I tried out the apple pie cookie dough
which was absolutely delicious and have added the eggnog cookie dough to the must make list.

Others i'm really looking forward to trying are the Gingerbread, candy cane, and chocolate caramel pretzel. Of course my son is insisting we make the monster cookie dough!

Not only does the book contain different cookie dough recipes but also a section on things to make with cookie dough such as cupcakes etc.

This is probably one of the most interesting dessert type books I have gotten to try and I've found most occasions and tastes are catered for!

The Edible Cookie Dough Cookbook

I Picked Up This Book Because: I love baking and am always looking for something new to make.


I read through this whole book in about an hour and I am so excited to get ingredients and start making away. I’ve picked out recipes for gifts. Things my nieces and nephews would like to make and there’s even a little something for the pups. These recipes look easy enough for a beginner and can be built upon for even the most senior chef to use.

I can’t wait to try out these recipes. Right now I want to make EVERYTHING.

Looking forward to leaving reviews for individual recipes as I try them. Probably via Twitter

Edible cookie dough is all the craze. There are even shops with lines rapped around the corner just to get some dough. Just like Unbaked which the author opened up in April 2015. The recipes in this book look absolutely delicious! There is even gluten free options. The pictures are great quality. You have the classic Chocolate Chip cookie all the way to Vegan Pina Colada. These would be great for a party or just a fun treat.

The knowledge that I can safely and deliciously eat cookie dough is a game changer. I'm already planning how to use this at parties I throw, or dinners I attend. It's easy to make and something that will definately stick in the minds of those who try it. I liked the different suggestions for how to use the dough in desserts or cakes. So many options! Get this book, try the recipes! A bunch of them don't even need to be refridgerated! I'm going to make a batch for a treat when camping next week. What a cool book!

This is such a brilliant book and perfect for a family member who loves sweet treats. There are easy to follow instructions and explainations.
