What not to love about some Edible Cookie Dough for your sweet Valentine or Galentines?

 

How To Make These Edible Cookie Dough Bites 

 

A parchment paper lined pan with colorful raw energy calls on top. There are chocolate chips and melted chocolate drizzle on top.

 

All you need for these cookie dough bites are:

  • Raw cashews (or a mix of cashews and walnuts)
  • Beet powder
  • Dates (or sugar-free maple syrup if you want to make this keto-friendly)
  • Cacao Powder
  • Dairy-free chocolate chips
  • Coconut flour

First, you will need to soak the nuts in salted warm water overnight for this recipe, so make sure you plan accordingly.

Soaking the nuts does a couple of things:

 

a food processor with a beet colored past and vegan chocolate chips

 

It softens the nuts, which gives these cookie dough balls their dense, gooey texture.

Besides the luscious texture, soaking nuts starts the sprouting process, which allows our bodies to digest and absorb the nutrients more easily.

Second, blend the dates (or maple syrup, if using), nuts (drained and rinsed), and beet powder in a blender or food processor until all ingredients have combined. You should have a wet or runny texture.

Then, add in coconut flour, blend until the cookie dough becomes more dough-like. 

Note: If the batter appears to be extra liquidy or sticky, add additional coconut flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, as more coconut flour to get a dough ball that retains its shape.

Lastly, fold in chocolate chips. Leave the blender in the fridge for 30 minutes or so to chill. Then portion the edible cookie dough batter into balls. 

 

What Makes This Edible Cookie Dough Healthy?

Cashews and walnuts are full of healthy omega-3 fats and fiber as well. Omega-3 fats are great for heart health, as well as potentially reducing inflammation and promoting healthy brain function as well.

Additionally, the fiber content in nuts helps slow down digestion keeping you fuller longer, stabilizing blood sugars, and helps to reduce cholesterol levels as well.

The coconut flour used in this recipe is appropriate for keto, paleo, and gluten-free needs, so you can accommodate the needs of pretty much anyone.

Coconut flour is also lower on the glycemic index so it doesn’t raise your blood sugar as quickly.

Dates are naturally super sweet so there’s no need for any added or processed sugar in this recipe. They also add some fiber to these dough balls as well. 

Note: For the Keto option, you can use stevia or keto-friendly maple syrup.

 

Storage for Edible Cookie Dough Bites

The best way to keep the shape and texture of these lovely treats is to keep them in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

If you do keep them in the freezer, let them sit for a few minutes before indulging so they’re not too difficult to chew.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cashews soaked
  • 1 cup walnuts soaked *
  • 1 heaping tbsp cacao powder

  • Soak dates in warm water for 10 minutes, drain and remove the pits.

  • Add cacao powder, beet powder and coconut flour. Blend until it forms a gooey cookie dough. **
  • Fold in chocolate chip. Chill the batter in the fridge or freezer for about half an hour which makes it easier to roll into balls without sticking too much.

Notes

  1. *You can substitute the cashew and walnuts with any kind of nuts and seeds. Oily nuts come out to be more fudgy.
  2. ** Add more coconut flour 1 tablespoon at a time if the batter is too wet.
  3. *** For Keto Option: replace the Medjool dates with 3-4 tbsp of keto-friendly liquid sweetener. Decrease the coconut flour amount to 1 – 2 tbsp
