This no bake vegan cookie dough is thick, rich, and made with just 4 healthy ingredients!
We all love cookies, right? If you know someone that doesn’t like cookies, cut them out immediately – you don’t need that negativity in your life.
Kidding! Make them this vegan cookie dough and I’m sure they’ll change their stance.
I love a chewy cookie as much as anybody, but there’s something about the gooey, molten cookie center. Totally the best part.
The only thing that could rival that ooey, gooey center? Rich, sweet, edible vegan cookie dough, no oven required. With the warmer weather finally arriving, any time we can skip turning on a hot oven is a plus, right? This vegan cookie dough has all the incredible flavor of cookies, but you can eat it straight up – and it’s healthy enough to enjoy for breakfast!
Ingredients for vegan cookie dough
- Chickpeas: drained and rinsed canned chickpeas give the BEST super gooey texture and make up the base of the cookie dough.
- Medjool dates: dates give the cookie dough natural sweetness and help with the gooey texture.
- Rolled oats: oats help to thicken the cookie dough a bit and provide healthy whole grains.
- Water: a bit of water thins out the mixture to the right cookie dough consistency.
- Vegan chocolate chips: I like PASCHA unsweetened or Lily’s stevia-sweetened chips, but use any vegan chocolate chips you like.
Tips for making vegan cookie dough
- Mix in the chocolate chips after blending. Make sure the cookie dough mixture is cool (it may heat up a bit in the food processor) before you mix in the chocolate chips so that they don’t melt.
This vegan cookie dough is super luscious and rich, and so satisfying. Made with just a few plant ingredients, you can consume an entire bowl of this without worrying about horrid food-borne illnesses, and without the cruelty!

Oh yes. Cookie dough used to be one of my biggest guilty pleasures. Chickpeas are such a good idea; it looks so creamy!
