Healthy cookie dough made with just 5 simple ingredients
I have to say I am one of those people who prefers the cookie dough when its raw over the baked cookies. Anyone else with me?
I was pretty sure you would all love it too so I made these 5 ingredient cookie dough bites to get the taste of raw cookie dough in a healthy, paleo friendly dessert.
I used to be terrified to eat it because of raw eggs, but now I have raw eggs all the time in dressings and mayo.
Either way I wanted to make an edible cookie dough with all vegan and paleo friendly ingredients that I could just pop in my mouth whenever.
I was determined to distill this recipe down to as few ingredients as possible. There are so many recipes out there that have chickpeas or other legumes in their cookie dough bites and I just did not want the hassle.
I am so excited to share this simple healthy cookie dough recipe with 5 basic ingredients.

Let’s make 5 Ingredient Cookie Dough Bites!
To begin, add almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup and sea salt to a food processor. Then, process ingredients until a smooth even dough remains.
Remove blade from food processor and stir in mini chocolate chips with a spatula. Then, roll dough into bite sized balls about 1.5″ in diameter and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Next, place dough balls in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.
When the dough is finished chilling, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil for topping in the microwave. Then, drizzle melted chocolate over each cookie dough bite.
Finally, top with flakey sea salt and enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

How should I store these healthy cookie dough bites?
It is important to store these cookie dough bites in the refrigerator at all times. This healthy cookie dough will melt fairly quickly as soon as they are removed from the refrigerator so I like to keep them in the fridge and take them out one at a time.

Can another type of flour be substituted? Severe nut allergy!
Hi! I am sorry I haven’t tried any others, but cassava flour will probably work. Might be a little dryer so start with less
I’ve made these twice this week! It’s such a good sweet snack that me and my boyfriend both love. The chocolate on top is a game changer too!
YAY! Thank you for sharing!!
Can I substitute the maple syrup for honey?
I have not personally tried it, but I think it will work!!
My only complaint is that it’s hard to not eat the whole tray! So good and so easy!
