Edible Cookie Dough Recipe
Walking through the holiday candy aisle is so tempting right now, and I couldn’t resist turning peppermint favorites into a festive treat. This is an easy, egg-free, no-bake cookie dough ball you can dip cookies, bars, or other sweets into. It’s creamy, minty, and full of crunch—perfect for sharing.

I used Andes Creme De Menthe baking chips and Andes Peppermint Crunch mini bars for texture and flavor. I also rolled the finished dough ball in crushed candy cane pieces for extra color and crunch. If you can’t find the exact candy, use similar peppermint chips or crushed candy canes from your grocer.
How To Make This No Bake Dessert
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated and light brown sugars until smooth, about 2 minutes. Mix in the vanilla, then add the flour and kosher salt and stir until combined.

Roll the ball in crushed candy cane pieces until coated, then place on a serving plate. Serve by dipping cookies, candy bars, or other treats into the dough.
