In all honesty, I can’t recall if this photo of was my son’s favorite Cookie Dough treat, or a Cookie Dough Dip I made for Christmas!?!?!?

In either case, my confusion is your gain! I’ll post both recipes recipes under this one multipurpose photo!

Cookie Dough

No, this isn’t a cookie dough you bake in the oven, it’s meant to be eaten raw. It’s a super simple recipe and when my son (12) is in the mood, he’ll make it himself. It is really rich though so I have to encourage he make it into dough-balls and eat a few, not the whole bowl of dough!

• 1 c almond flour
• 1/4 c coconut flour
• 1/4 c maple syrup
• 3 T melted coconut oil
• 1 t vanilla
• pinch of salt
• 1/4 c mini chocolate chips.

1. Just mix it all together! Form into 2 T balls and store in the refrigerator.
2. VARIATIONS: Peanut Butter cookie dough – replace coconut oil with peanut butter. Snicker doodle – Omit chocolate chips and add 1 t cinnamon.

Cookie Dough *DIP*

This can be served with sliced apples or graham crackers.

• 2 c chickpeas (if using canned, rinse and drain)
