FAQs

Can I bake this cookie dough into cookies?

You can try baking the dough, but keep in mind it doesn’t contain any leavening agents, so the texture might be dense. If you bake it, flatten the dough before placing it in a 350°F (175°C) oven and bake for about 10 minutes. Let us know how it turns out if you give it a try!

Can I substitute maple syrup with honey?

Yes, honey can be used instead of maple syrup if you are not strictly vegan. It will provide similar sweetness and moisture to the dough.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Dry Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

• 1/2 cup vegan butter (or coconut oil)
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (or sprinkles for funfetti version)

Instructions

1. Melt the butter or coconut oil: Place the vegan butter or coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in the microwave until fully melted, about 20-30 seconds.
2. Add liquid sweeteners and flavor: Stir in the pure maple syrup and vanilla extract into the melted butter until well combined.
3. Mix dry ingredients: Add the almond flour, coconut flour, and salt into the bowl. Whisk everything thoroughly to create a smooth dough base, making sure there are no lumps.
4. Incorporate chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips or sprinkles carefully to distribute evenly throughout the dough.
5. Adjust texture if needed: Taste the dough and if it is too wet, add a small amount of oat flour to thicken it. Keep in mind the dough will stiffen once chilled.
6. Chill the dough: Place the dough in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to let it solidify. This step also helps the flavors meld and the fats to harden, creating a creamy texture.
7. Serve or shape: Once chilled, serve the cookie dough in bowls or roll into bite-sized balls for easy snacking.

Notes

• Store the cookie dough in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
• For freezing, roll into balls and place them in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
• These cookie dough balls can be baked by flattening and baking at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, but results may vary due to lack of leavening agents.
• Enhance protein content by adding a few tablespoons of peanut butter or vanilla protein powder to the dough.
