That means this edible low FODMAP cookie dough is the perfect safe alternative. It’s super tasty too! This recipe is egg free and we show you how to heat treat the flour to make it safe. Important note: This cookie dough should be eaten raw… please don’t bake it as the cookies will fail. If you want a cooked cookie then check out these options instead.
