This Gluten Free Raw Cookie Dough Dip Won't Give You Salmonella

Real talk: we've all been caught with our fingers in the mixer bowl at one point or another. Cookie dough is so good, but since it has raw eggs, apparently we're supposed to eat it in moderation? I've found the ultimate solution -- eggless cookie dough that's meant to be eaten raw.

Real talk: we've all been caught with our fingers in the mixer bowl at one point or another. Cookie dough is just so good, but since it has raw eggs, apparently we're supposed to eat it in moderation? So, I've found the ultimate solution -- eggless cookie dough that's meant to be eaten raw.

You can serve this with pretty much anything, but some ideas would be graham crackers, Nilla wafers, animal crackers, pretzels, wheat thins, or any other carb-friendly snack out there. We used chocolate-covered pretzels and apples and they both worked very well. Oh, and it's gluten free.
