Why You'll Love These
- These chocolate chip cookie dough bites take just 5 minutes! You don't need to heat-treat flour, or bake anything. You don't even need to chill the dough.
- These raw cookie dough bites are safe to eat because there are no eggs and the flour we use is protein-rich almond flour so there is no need to heat treat flour either.
- All these ingredients are probably already in your kitchen, and they are vegan, gluten free, grain-free and even refined-sugar-free.
Ingredients
- Flour - I used almond flour which does not need to be heat treated for safety.
- Butters - I used a combination of both butter and peanut butter, but you can skip the butter and use all peanut butter if you prefer.
- Maple Syrup - I used this liquid sweetener to support the texture and give a caramel flavor to the cookie dough.
- Baking Soda - Only a little bit makes this cookie dough taste like actual cookie dough! And if you wanted to bake this dough into a cookie, this ingredient gives you permission.
- Chocolate Chips - I used mini chocolate chips to allow for small cube cuts but large chips or even chocolate chunks are fine. Use a high quality chocolate chips or make your own using how to make chocolate chips.
- Flavors: I also add a little brown sugar to enhance cookie batter flavor. Salt, Vanilla are optional but give a better flavor.
Steps to Make
The full recipe is in the recipe card below, but here are general steps and some tips and tricks.

Substitutions & Mix-ins
- Nut Butter - You can use instead liquid coconut oil and any nut butter, such as cashew butter or almond butter or even peanut butter.
- Flour - I used almond flour but you can use oat flour instead. You can use all purpose white flour but it will need to be treated. Bake in oven at 350 F for 5 minutes.
- Maple Syrup - Instead of maple syrup, you can use date syrup, monk fruit syrup or agave.
Mix-ins:
- cinnamon or even pumpkin spice to make a fall-oriented bite
- oats & raisins to make oatmeal cookie dough bites
- sprinkles to make birthday cake cookie dough bites
- oreo cookies to make cookies & cream cookie dough bites
- white chocolate chips for a white chocolate twist
Recipe Tips
- Measure Flour Carefully - I use the fluff and spoon method but use a scale if you normally do. With the fluff and spoon method, use a fork to loosen the flour in the bag, then use a spoon to spoon flour into a measuring scoop, then level off.
- Scoop to Make the Balls - Here is the small scoop I find useful to make a consistent sized bite.
- Don't Skip the Baking Soda - Not for lift as in traditional baked cookies, but to give your raw cookie dough a traditional cookie dough batter flavor.
Storing Tips
Edible cookie dough can be stored in an airtight container refrigerated for a week and frozen for three months. Let frozen dough thaw overnight in the refrigerator before use.

When I stumbled upon this recipe I immediately headed to the kitchen to see if I had all the ingredients and I DID.
Thank goodness!
These are some tasty treats.
I have made them more than once in about a week's time and I might have a problem.
A couple batches in I added some hemp hearts and toasted sesame seeds and that combo is here to stay.
Thank you SO MUCH for this simple yet scrumptious recipe.
I have it printed and standing in my clear cookbook holder ready for action, although, if I continue making them at my current rate I am gonna have that bad boy memorized.
