Servings: 12 -14 cookie dough bites (1 cup dough)
Calories: 110kcal

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup softened butter or vegan butter (can substitute 3 Tbsp. melted coconut oil*)
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 2-3 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4-1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Combine. In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, almond flour, 2 Tbsp. syrup, the vanilla, salt, and 1/4 cup chocolate chips. Stir to combine until you have a uniform dough. (So long as your butter is softened, this mixture will come together easily!)
  • Taste & Adjust. Taste the dough and add more maple syrup or mini chocolate chips as desired.
  • Scoop & Roll. Use a small cookie scoop to make 1" cookie dough balls. The dough will be sticky, so a scoop or tablespoon makes this easier.*
  • Chill. Arrange the cookie dough balls in a single layer and store in the refrigerator 4-5 days or in the freezer up to 2 months. Chill for at least 30-60 minutes before eating to allow the dough to set. (It'll be quite soft until it's chilled)
  • *If desired, you can remove the cookie dough bites from the fridge after 30-60 minutes and roll them into smooth uniform balls with clean hands before returning them to the fridge. (The dough will be too sticky to roll out until it's had a bit of time to chill)

Notes

*Please note you CANNOT substitute regular flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour in this recipe unless you heat treat it in the oven to kill the bacteria.
