Ingredients

Scale

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.
