Almond Butter Cookie Dough Cups

Guys, the cookie dough addiction is becoming a problem.

Everything I’ve been making lately is some form of cookie dough:

• Peanut butter cookie dough hummus
• Blueberry cookie dough protein energy bites

And now, these healthier almond butter cookie dough cups!

Do you ever think you might forget how to chew solid foods properly since everything you eat is soft and creamy cookie dough? No…just me?? Ok….. :/

Now, these melt-in-your-mouth almond butter cookie dough cups are a little more indulgent than my typical recipe. But, hey, everything in moderation is my motto, afterall. The good news is they are still healthier than your average store bought chocolate cups because this filling has no added sugar.

And, if you’re like me and have looked at a picture of home made chocolate cups and thought, “Those look impossible to make!” Well, I’m here to tell you they’re actually really easy if you have the 2 magic items.

#1 is oil. Adding just a little bit into the melted chocolate makes it easier to pour and manipulate. The oil also allows it to set smoothly, which is how you get the nice, clean top of the cup.

#2 is silicone muffin liners. They’re pretty rad! These guys hold their shape so you can pick them up and move them around. You will need to manipulate the melted chocolate up the sides of the cupcake liners for the base, and using these guys makes it a piece of cake! Or…piece of cookie dough cup? That just doesn’t have the same ring to it…. Anywho, another reason I love these guys is because once the whole cup is set, all you have to do is peel away the silicone liner. There’s no sticking! All that’s left is a beautiful, delicious treat.

Bonus: they’re reusable! You’re welcome, Environment.

I think these almond butter cookie dough cups would make a great back-to-school treat for the kiddos on the first day of school, which is partly why I made the recipe for a small batch of 3 cups. However, if you’re like me and all back-to-school means is more traffic in the a.m. on the way to work, they also make the perfect late night snack for the adults. If you want to make some for a gathering, party, your work friends, or shoot, just yourself (no one is judging here), then the recipe can easily be doubled. Or, you can even make mini cups. There’s really no wrong way to make these little cups of joy!

What will you be making these treats for?
