HOW TO MAKE EDIBLE COOKIE DOUGH
I am in full support of the edible cookie dough trend, as unbaked cookie dough really is one of my favorite things. While there are lots of edible cookie dough recipes out there that are egg free and safe to eat, a lot of them are still hard on the stomach and full of sugar.
- 2/3 cup cashew butter
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup sugar free chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, optional
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup sugar free chocolate, or regular chocolate, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
-
Line a large baking tray with parchment paper, set aside.
-
In a large bowl combine the cashew butter*, coconut flour*, maple syrup, chocolate chips and salt.
-
Once the mixture comes together and forms a sticky dough roll into about 20 balls.
-
In a medium microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler melt the chopped chocolate and the coconut oil together, this will take about 40 seconds to 1 minute. Stir the chocolate until it reaches the consistency of a smooth shiny sauce.
-
Using two spoons dip each cookie dough ball in the melted chocolate, rolling around to make sure each truffle is fully and evenly coated.
-
Place the coated truffled on the prepared tray and repeat until all of the cookie dough balls have been dipped in chocolate.
-
Place the try in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set.
-
Once set peel the truffles off the parchment paper and enjoy.
-
Cover and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days.
- If the cookie dough is too wet initially feel free to add more coconut flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture comes together and looks like real cookie dough.
- You can substitute cashew butter for any nut butter you like. Use sunflower seed butter or coconut butter if you are allergic to nuts.
- You can make this recipe with regular maple syrup, but the truffles will not be sugar-free.
- You can use regular chocolate in this recipe, but the truffles will not be sugar-free.
