Who doesn’t love cookie dough? These Cookie dough Balls (Vegan and Gluten-free) are really easy to make with only 8 natural ingredients. And they taste amazing!

Cookie dough Balls (Vegan and Gluten-free)

Sometimes cookie dough is even better than the actual cookie, at least if you ask my kids! They love to help make this edible almond flour cookie dough. It is easy, just stir together the ingredients, and done.

These no bake cookie dough balls usually disappear fast. They are healthy, gluten free and vegan made using almond flour and almond butter.

Other no bake treats to make like these almond flour cookie dough bites, are these Chocolate Crunch Balls or these Chocolate Pecan Quinoa Bites.

Ingredients

All you need is 8 simple ingredients to make these healthy cookie dough balls listed below. For the full ingredient measurements, scroll down to view the recipe card at the bottom of the page.

  • Almond butter, I prefer to use all natural, no sugar added, no oil added. You can also use peanut butter.
  • Maple syrup, other liquid sweetener like agave can also be used, or honey, but that makes it non vegan
  • Almond flour, for these almond flour cookie dough balls, I use a finely ground almond flour. You can also make your own almond flor by pulsing roasted almonds in a high speed food processor.
  • Flaxseed meal and almond milk, to make a flax egg. This will act as a “glue” and hold the dough together
  • Vegan chocolate chips, Use your favorite, good quality chocolate here. I like dark chocolate, usually 70% dark chocolate is dairy free but make sure you check the ingredients in you want to keep it vegan.
  • Coconut oil, gives the dough that “buttery” feeling, but without the butter!
  • Flavorings, I use a little vanilla and a pinch of salt. If you don’t have vanilla paste, vanilla extract or vanilla powder can be used instead.

Instructions

Making these Edible cookie dough balls is really easy, here is how:

  1. Start by mixing the flaxseed meal and the almond milk, let it sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredient and stir well, then fold in the chocolate chips. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes in the fridge. Roll into bite size balls and refredgerate for 30 minutes.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Nut butter – This no bake cookie dough bite recipe uses almond butter, but any nut butter of choice can be used.
  • Sweetener – In these vegan cookie dough balls, maple syrup is used. Other liquid sweetener like agave can also be used. A little brown sugar or coconut sugar also works well. Add more to taste.
  • Chocolate chips – instead of dark chocolate, milk or white chocolate can also be used. That will result in a sweeter chocolate chip cookie dough balls.

Some more delicious and healthy no-bake recipes to try, are my Coconut salted caramel bliss balls or these easy, 5-ingredient Mango Bliss Balls
