There is no greater comfort treat than chocolate chip cookies and there is no greater way to enjoy chocolate chip cookies than eating the cookie dough. Because I love to turn our favorite treats into what we refer to as "builders", I decided it was time to make a healthy version of our favorite cookie and turn them into raw snacking balls. These also work great for breaking into pieces and adding to shakes, ice cream and smoothies for a "cookie dough" version.
The Recipe
In a food processor add:
1 cup cashews
1/2 cup oats
Process until it is a crumble, like pictured above, then add:
1/2 tsp. Real salt
3 Tbsp. coconut sugar (or sweetener of choice)
3/4 cup multi grain flour
Process to combine
1 cup cashews
1/2 cup oats
Process until it is a crumble, like pictured above, then add:
1/2 tsp. Real salt
3 Tbsp. coconut sugar (or sweetener of choice)
3/4 cup multi grain flour
Process to combine
Add:
1/2 cup pure maple syrup (can also use agave nectar)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tbsp. coconut oil
Process until wet and dry combine thoroughly, then add:
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Process just to mix the chocolate chips evenly. This "dough" will be gooey so scoop it into a container and refrigerate until it is firm and can be molded. Roll into balls and your cookie dough is ready to enjoy. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container or freeze for longer shelf life (although ours never last long enough to freeze:))
