Chocolate Covered Cookie Dough Bites

Who Doesn’t Love Eating Raw Cookie Dough?

One of my favorite desserts is cookie dough. I know we all fall into the habitat of eating raw cookie dough straight from the container. That is why I made this recipe for all the cookie dough lovers!

This recipe is obviously safe to eat raw, so you don’t have to worry about possibly getting sick. I love having these in my freezer for an after dinner sweet treat. They store very well in the freezer and will last for months in there.

Personally, I prefer mine in the freezer. If you also store yours in the freezer allow them to sit out for 5 minutes before eating just to defrost a little. The refrigerator works too, I just prefer the freezer.

This is a super simple recipe. Everything gets combined into a ball, rolled into balls, then dipped in chocolate. The part that takes the most time is waiting for the chocolate to harden.

This recipe is super versatile. You could add sprinkles, Oreos, nuts, literally anything to the cookie dough. In my opinion, cookie dough tastes good with just about any sweet add-in. 

If you have a cookie scoop, that is super useful for this recipe. It helps to make sure all the bites are the same size. Although, it is not necessary. You could use a tablespoon measuring spoon or a normal spoon.

Coconut sugar- any granulated sugar will work (white, brown, monk fruit).

Almond butter- any nut butter will work (cashew, sunflower, peanut).

Chocolate- you can use a mix of multiple chocolates, chocolates chips, chop a chocolate bar, totally up to your preference. 

TIP: when melting the chocolate add a teaspoon or two of coconut oil to the bowl. The coconut oil helps to melt the chocolate perfectly and makes it easier to work with.

I love adding a mix of different chocolates. I normally do a chopped dark chocolate bar and chocolate chips. You could also even do white chocolate.

 Ingredients:

• Applesauce 

• Coconut sugar

• Almond butter

• Almond flour

• Chocolate

Recipe:

• ¼ cup applesauce 

• ¼ cup coconut sugar

• 1/3 cup almond butter

• 1 1/2 cup almond flour (up to 2 cups if still sticky)

• 1 cup chocolate (melted)

• ½ cup chocolate chips

Directions:

1.    In a bowl combine the applesauce, coconut sugar, and almond butter. Stir well.

2.    Add in the almond flour. Stir until a dough forms.

3.    Fold in the chocolate chips. Stir well. Optional: allow the dough to set in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This will make it easier to roll into balls.

4.   Take a cookie scoop or tablespoon measuring spoon and scoop out all the dough onto a plate. Roll into balls. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes.

5.    Once the 10 minutes are up, melt the chocolate.

6.    Coat each bite into the melted chocolate. Place back in the freezer for about 10 minutes to allow chocolate to harden.

Once the chocolate is fully hardened, enjoy! Make sure to store in an airtight container either in the freezer or refrigerator. They should last up to 5 days in the refrigerator or up to over a month in the freezer.
