How to make cookie dough bites
The Ingredients
- Almond flour- I used blanched almond flour. Regular almond flour can be used, but it will be darker in color.
- Keto Maple Syrup- Zero carbs and zero sugar liquid sweetener, keto maple syrup provides sweetness and helps hold the balls together.
- Coconut Oil– Coconut oil helps hold the cookie dough bites together.
- Chocolate Chips of choice– Use either stevia-sweetened chocolate chips or a zero sugar chocolate bar, chopped into pieces. You can also add some homemade keto chocolate.
- Salt– Add a pinch of salt to bring out the true cookie dough flavor.
The Instructions
- Step 1- In a microwave-safe bowl or stovetop, heat up your coconut oil with your keto maple syrup until warm. Whisk together until combined.
- Step 2- Transfer the mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add your almond flour and salt and mix well, until a thick, crumbly texture remains. Fold through your chocolate chips.
- Step 3- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form 20-30 small balls of cookie dough and place on a large plate, covered in parchment paper. Refrigerate until firm.
Tips and Tricks
- If your batter is too thin, add some extra almond flour to thicken. If the batter is too crumbly and difficult to form into balls, add a dash of coconut or almond milk to it.
- To form uniform balls, lightly wet your hands and form into balls yourself.
- Reserve a handful of chocolate chips to roll the balls in, to ensure each one is full of chocolate chips.
- For pure edible cookie dough, you may prefer vegan cookie dough or keto cookie dough.
- If you don’t follow a keto or sugar free diet, you can replace the keto syrup with either maple syrup, honey or agave nectar.
Storing and Freezing Cookie Dough Balls
- To store: These can be stored at room temperature, in a sealed container, for up to 5 days. The cookie dough balls are best stored in the fridge, as they will remain thick, chewy and fudgy. They will keep fresh for up to 2 months.
- To freeze:Place the cookie dough bites in a ziplock bag or in a shallow container. Frozen cookie dough bites will keep for up to 6 months.
TIP: To enjoy cookie dough bites from the freezer, allow thawing at room temperature.
