Tell me something you don’t love about cookie dough….I’ll wait.

In the dessert world, it’s almost like the perfect food, right?!

It’s soft and creamy, sweet and flavorful, smooth and scrumptious. And now it’s cool and refreshing because these healthy chocolate chip cookie dough bites can be stored in the freezer!

If you’ve spent any time scrolling through Instagram, I’m sure you’ve seen 34948 pictures of smoothie bowls. They’re delicious and all…but I could go for some other ways to cool off in the Summer, too.

What you’ll need to make these Healthy Frozen Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites:

• One large bowl
• One deep microwavable safe bowl
• Mixing spoon
• A fork
• Almond flour
• Plant based protein powder
• Tapioca flour
• Salt
• Natural almond butter
• Maple syrup
• Vanilla extract
• Water
• Mini chocolate chips
• Chocolate for melting

Mixing everything together is totally straight forward. Basically dump everything in a bowl, do a little mixing and stirring, and roll the dough into balls. Then pop them into the freezer to firm up a bit before dunking them in delicious melted chocolate. Mmm…chocolate.

After that, let the chocolate harden for a bit and you’re done! Can it get any easier??

The bites don’t totally freeze all the way through, so you can actually eat them straight out of the freezer without breaking your teeth. But, I think they taste best if you let them defrost a bit a room temp for about 5 minutes.

Though, they’re also dang good if you eat them at room temp.

Just store these morsels in an airtight container either in the freezer or at room temp and you’re good to go! These Healthy Frozen Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites will stay good in the freezer for a few months and at room temp for at least a week. If you don’t eat them all before then ;) .

Ingredients

• ½ cup almond flour
• ½ cup plant based protein powder (I used soy protein powder )
• 1/8 cup tapioca flour
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup natural almond butter
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 1-4 Tbsp water
• ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
• ½ cup chocolate (for melting)
• 1 tsp oil of choice - optional

Instructions

1. Line a cookie sheet tray with freezer paper. (Freezer paper is best, but parchment paper will work, too.)
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, protein powder, tapioca flour, and salt.
3. Add in the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until as much of the dry ingredients are incorporated into the wet.
4. Add water 1 Tbsp at a time, stirring after each addition, until your reach a cookie dough consistency.
5. Pro tip: don’t add all the water at once, because too much water will can make the dough too sticky, and also a little icy once it’s frozen.
6. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
7. Roll a heaping tablespoon of dough in a ball and place on the prepared cookie sheet tray.
8. Once you’ve roll all the dough into balls, place them in the freezer for about 2 hours, or until they are firm. They don’t have to be frozen all the way through.
9. In a microwave safe bowl, melt your chocolate of choice (can be any form/type of chocolate - chips, bars, disc, etc.) in 30 second increments, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted.
10. Stir in the oil (this step is optional, but it does make the process easier and the finished product smoother).
11. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate. Lift it out with the tines of a fork. Tap off the excess and then return the coated ball to the lined cookie tray.
12. Once all the balls are coated, return the tray to the freezer for about 10 min. or until the chocolate is set.
13. Store the cookie dough bites in an airtight container. You can enjoy these cookie dough balls straight from the freezer, allow them to defrost for about 5 min. for a softer bite, or even store them at room temp for a super soft and doughy treat!

Guys, it’s HOT! And sweltering heat means the beginning of people telling you that it is, in fact, hot. (guilty). And the beginning of you walking outside and wishing it wasn’t so hot. And you wanting to go back inside until it’s less hot. So, basically until….September.

How To Make Edible Chocoalte Chip Cookie Dough (1 min):

I say all that to say, when it’s too hot outside to function the last thing you want to do is turn the oven on and make the inside feel like the outside. Which is why I’m sure these 3 no-bake edible cookie dough recipes are going to be your go-to summer snack!

Not only are they ridiculously easy to make, they’re ridiculously tasty! To make them, all you need is 1 bowl, a handful of ingredients, and about 10 minutes. Just stir all the ingredients together and you’re done! Want to know what else is so great about these no-bake recipes? That science-y thing that’s required for baked goods to turn out right kind of goes out the window! Which is why there are so many modifications you can make to these recipes to tailor them to your dietary preferences. All 3 recipes can be made vegan, gluten free, low FODMAP, grain free, and paleo. Not to mention, each cookie dough is refined sugar free and high in protein.

Now, about the protein powder. I’ve done a lot of experimenting with these recipes. (Mostly because they’re just so good that I kept eating them all and needed to make more, so why not experiment!) I’ve used soy protein, rice protein, a combo of both, and whey protein. All worked great besides the whey. It wasn’t terrible, but the consistency/texture was a bit gummy. I would highly recommend using a plant-based protein because they act more like flour and don’t give you the gummy texture. I also really like the My Protein brand protein powders because they don’t have any added artificial flavors or fillers. Just straight up protein powder!

Also, if whey protein was all I had it totally wouldn’t stop me from making, and subsequently devouring, some cookie dough. Let’s be honest.

And, you’re going to want to use a natural nut butter for these cookie doughs. Natural nut butters don’t have added ingredients like sugar, salt, and other things that keep the oil from separating.

We actually like this for 2 reasons. 1. we can control the amount of sugar and salt added. And 2. when you stir the nut butter and homogenized (<-fancy science-y word ;) ) everything again, the butter still has a very “drippy” consistency, which is really going to make it easier to combine all the other ingredients together to make our deeeeeelicious cookie dough!

I’m pretty sure if I found a genie and had 3 wishes, each one would be for one of these cookie doughs! But, you’re in luck because you can get the recipes for some eggless, edible chocolate chip cookie dough, peanut butter cookie dough, and oatmeal raisin cookie dough just by scrolling down! No genie needed.

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!

Some of the links in this post are affiliate links. If you make a purchase through the link there is no additional cost to you, but I will make a small commission that allows me to keep bringing you delicious healthy dessert recipes!

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?

Hummus. It’s not just for pita chips and carrot sticks anymore. Now it’s also for dessert!

And why not? People have been devouring raw cookie dough for centuries now (maybe don’t fat check me on that one…). The scare of salmonella hasn’t even turned people off. Guilt, part of one here!

But, chickpeas, the main ingredient in your traditional savory hummuses (hummusi??) also makes the perfect, creamy base for DESSERT hummus aka raw cookie doughs ;)

Better yet, this peanut butter cookie dough dessert hummus only takes 4 ingredients and less time to make than it takes Taylor Swift to find a new boyfriend. Soooo….pretty darn quick.

You can also sub out the powdered peanut butter for any other nut butter to make an allergy-friendly version/if you’re just an almond butter addict.

P.S. When is someone going to come out with other powdered nut butters? There are now a trillion different powdered peanut butters, but where’s the powdered almond butter!? Just saying…

Ingredients

Cookie Dough
• 12 dates, pitted
• 1 Tbsp water
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup macadamia nut butter
• 1/4 cup almond butter
• 1/2 cup oat flour
• 1/2 cup soy protein powder (or brown rice protein powder ) vanilla or unflavored
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup coconut milk*
• 1/8 cup milk of choice (i.e. cow's, almond, or more coconut)
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, dairy-free, etc)
Topping
• Chocolate ganache from my Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie
• or
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips, melted

Instructions

1. Soak the dates. You can either soak them in hot water for about an hour or in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Line the bottom of a 9"X5" loaf pan with parchment paper.
3. If needed, make your nut butters and oat flour.
4. Drain the dates, saving 1 Tbsp of the water. Place the dates in a food processor or blender with the water and vanilla extract. Blend until you get a smooth, creamy paste.
5. Add the butters, flour, protein powder, and salt to the food processor/blender and pulse a few times.
6. Add the milks and blend until everything comes together and is a thick, smooth dough consistency.
7. Transfer the dough to a medium sized bowl and fold in the chocolate chips.
8. Spoon the dough into the prepared pan. Press out the dough using your hands or a rubber spatula to the edges of the pan. Place the dough in the freezer for about an hour. (It doesn't need to be rock solid. You just want it to firm up a bit in order to make it easier to cut.)
9. If you're going with the ganache topping option (which I recommend ;) ), prepare the ganache according to the instructions. Then, remove the cookie dough from the freezer and spread on the ganache.
10. If you're going with the melted chocolate option, remove the cookie dough from the freezer for 10-15 min. Then, melt the chocolate in the microwave, stirring at 30 second intervals until completely melted. You want to make sure to wait a bit after taking the dough out from the freezer because if you try to spread melted chocolate on something cold it will harden quickly and make it difficult to spread.
11. Place the coated cookie dough in the fridge for about 10 min. to allow the topping to set.
12. Remove the dough from the pan and slice into squares.
13. Nom nom nom!

Notes

*This is the coconut milk in a can, not the carton. You can use light or regular coconut milk, but don't substitute this out for another kind of milk because it helps with the dough's creaminess and dough-like.
