Who doesn’t like licking the batter clean when we make a batch of cookies?

That is the best part. Am I right?

Actually I didn’t intentionally want to make this cookie dough.

But it was the best “mistake” I made.

You know how I always have a batch of raw fudge in my freezer? My favorites are the No Bake peanut butter chocolate chip bars and the Peanut butter Chocolate Balls.

You see a theme here? Peanut Butter and Chocolate.

Enough said.

This Healthy Edible Cookie Dough recipe is no exception. It is made of peanut butter, chocolate chips.

Last but least, the star ingredient of my whole food blogging journey (trying to be dramatic about it) –

Yes, you guessed it.

Sweet Potato!

What is edible cookie dough made of?

1. No Eggs

2. No rising agents

3. No baked flours

Although we often know not to eat raw eggs in cookie dough (but we can’t resist), it is not commonly known that consuming raw flour can be dangerous as well.

Raw flour could potentially be contaminated with harmful bacteria such as E. coli. Read more in here.

How to make Edible Cookie Dough

First of all, soak up 2 cups of nuts/seeds overnight in warm water and a pinch of salt.

Raw nuts and seeds contain phytates and enzyme inhibitors which can make them hard for our bodies to digest. Soaking them in mineral water can help neutralize the inhibitors thus easier for our bodies to absorb the nutrients and minerals in nuts and seeds.

Secondly, drain the nuts/seeds and rinse them all.

Lastly, pulse in food processer to reach a fine texture. Add the remaining ingredients. Pulse again.

Done!

Can it get any easier than that?
