Raw Cookie Dough Bites (GF)

By Kelly · 85 Comments


Who doesn’t like raw cookie dough, especially when it’s packed with wholesome nutrition?

These delicious little “raw cookie dough” bites are simply an adapted version of my raw almond butter truffles recipe. These are one of my boys’ favorite lunchbox treats, so they never mind helping to whip them up!

There are three different recipes to enjoy, to be sure to keep scrolling to view all three! For some helpful Kids in the Kitchen tips and strategies, check out Cultivating Little Sous Chefs.

Can’t get enough raw cookie dough bites? Neither can we! Be sure to check these other great raw cookie recipes:
• Raw Cacao-Coconut Cookie Bites
• Raw Almond Butter Truffles

P.S. These scrumptious raw cookie bites make a beautiful Gift-in-a-Jar no matter what the holiday or special occasion.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites

Yield: 18 cookie bites

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy raw almond butter
  • 1/4 cup, plus 1 tbsp raw honey
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup, plus 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 3 tbsp ground flaxseed (or use an additional teaspoon or two of coconut flour)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 cup fair trade chocolate chips (or carob chips)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the raw almond butter, honey and vanilla until creamy and well blended.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut flour, ground flax seed and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix well to combine.
  3. Use your hands to knead the dough to thoroughly combine. If it's too wet, add a bit more coconut flour. If the dough is too dry and doesn't hold together well, knead in one teaspoon of water. Fold in the dark chocolate chips or carob chips.
  4. Then, scoop out tablespoon-size portions and roll into one-inch balls using your hands to create a bite-sized treat.
  5. *Refrigerate truffles for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

*I place the cookie bites on a baking sheet about an inch apart and freeze them until frozen solid. Then I place them in freezer-safe containers by flavor. That way, I can just pop whatever I need in the frig to defrost a bit before serving. Or you can place the frozen cookie bites right into your child's lunchbox. Yum!

Recipe Variation: Use 100% all natural peanut butter (the kind you have to stir) instead of raw almond butter to make yummy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Dough Bites.

    My family says they’re wonderful. I’m a little worried about them spreading too much as they come back to room temp ( I used fresh ground peanut butter) so I may add more coconut flour if that happens. Tasty snack treat idea, thanks for this.

      I need to make a note about that. Peanut butter has a higher oil content. And, I’ve noticed that certain brands of almond butter also have a higher oil content. So you are correct that adding more coconut flour will help resolve the issue. 🙂

    I don’t have coconut flour but I do have a grain mill. What other types of flour would you suggest for a wheat free version?

    Reply
    • Kelly says

      May 24, 2012 at 7:51 am

      Hi, Pam. My other favorite grain-free flour is blanched almond flour, but I have not tried making a raw cookie dough bite with it yet. Since coconut flour behaves very differently than almond flour (and other gf flours), it is not possible to do a cup-for-cup substitution. Coconut flour is very high in fiber and a good source of protein and nutrients. If you are able to get a bag at your local whole foods type store, I would highly recommend giving it a try! Blessings, Kelly 🙂

        Does the coconut flour give these a coconut flavor? I do not like coconut (I ate too much of it when I was little and got sick…haven’t been able to eat it since), but would love to try these!

          Hi, Kimberly. It does give a hint of coconut flavor that you may pick-up on moreso because of your aversion to coconut. I have heard from other readers that they have substituted with almond flour instead. Start with the recommended about on coconut flour and then add a tablespoon at a time of almond flour until the constancy is such that the cookie balls hold together without being crumbly. Lots of blessings, Kelly 🙂

    I try to ALWAYS have some of these in the freezer. ( I like the freezer because they’re better a little thawed, i think, so I have to prepare and set a couple out. Keeps me from downing them all at once!) We usually use peanut butter, but using almond butter and making your “truffles” is always an extra treat. I’ve even done the peanut butter ones with raisens instead of choc or carob chips and they were still super yummy! Sometimes I do have to add a little extra coconut flour depending on the peanut butter, try to not make ’em too dry though. I actually love when they get “melty” from sitting out. hehe. <3

      I’m with you, Hope! I keep these in the freezer pretty regularly and really enjoy these slightly thawed. You are so right about having to adjust the recipe. Sometimes the nut butters have more oil and so more coconut flour is required. Appreciate you taking the time to leave a kind note! Lots of blessings, Kelly

    Hi, and thank you so much for putting up this beautiful site. Just this morning I was asking God to help me with my meal planning because I’m always struggling with it and we end up eating out too much and spending too much on pre packaged food. So your site was an answer to my prayers. This recipe sounds great but I was wondering if there was anything to sub for the almond butter because my daughter has a nut allergy. Thank you again

      Hi, Melanie! I’ve heard from others who have nut allergies that Sunbutter works great with this recipe. So if sunflower seeds are okay for your daughter, you may want to give sunflower seed butter a try. And thank you SO MUCH for your sweet words of encouragement. It truly blesses me and is an honor to know that God would use me to help others! Lots of blessings to you and your precious family, Kelly 🙂

    Do you have any suggestions for types of flour beside coconut flour that would work well? Thanks!

    Reply
    • Kelly says

      August 26, 2012 at 9:18 am

      Hi, Julie. These cookie bite ingredients were combined with coconut flour in mind, so substituting with another flour may not work well unless the recipe is reworked overall. Coconut flour is highly absorbent so more liquid/oil type ingredients are needed when working with coconut flour in order to keep it from being dry and crumbly. You could try substituting with blanched almond flour or even almond meal, but I would recommend reducing some of the liquid ingredients, since almond flour is not as absorbent as coconut flour. But if you’re not up for creating your own recipe, you might want to do a google search to see if someone already has an alternate version of no-bake cookie dough bites. Lots of blessings, Kelly 🙂

    I think all these sound great but what is the nutrional factors on all the bites and food.
    I tried to type up the food on the nutrional guide but the apple won’t go away. We can’t get any reading on the nutrional guide or on the foods we are seeing

      Hi, Teresa. I personally do not track calories and nutritional data, which is why I have not invested time or money to get a plug-in that does this on my site. Instead my focus is on eating (and helping others to eat) a wide variety of whole unprocessed/unrefined foods based on the real food lifestyle. I have not seen a nutritional data plug-in on other real foodie sites? So I’m not familiar with the nutritional guide/apple issue you’ve mentioned above? Perhaps contacting the site that you are using to track this info would help? Not really sure how to direct you on resolving this. Blessings, Kelly 🙂

      Hi, Lexie. I get my fair-trade chocolate chips via my Azure Standard co-op. However, since your daughter has Celiac, I would recommend one of two brands that are guaranteed GF. These two can be found at most Whole Foods Markets and other similar whole food type stores. But I’m providing the websites, so you can see where you might be able to locate these near you (or order online).
      • Sunspire brand GF chocolate chips: http://www.sunspire.com/products/dairy-free-chocolate-dream-semi-sweet-baking-chips
      • Enjoy Life brand GF chocolate chips: http://www.enjoylifefoods.com/chocolate-for-baking/mini-chips/

      I know it can be very overwhelming to completely change your diet, but you are doing such great thing for your daughter! The great thing is that today there are so many more resources available to deal with food allergies and sensitivities. So glad you’re finding my site to be one of those helpful resources as you travel this journey of healing through real food.
      Blessings, Kelly 🙂

    I have a question about the honey in recipes like this one. Honey tends to spike my sugar so I was wondering if there were any substitutes. My guess is maple syrup would be too thin. What about stevia or coconut palm sugar?

    Thanks so much!!!

      Hi, Rebekah! Thanks for your kind words! So glad you’re enjoying the recipes here. For this particular recipe, it would be a bit difficult to sub with another sweetener without having to tweak it quite a bit. But I would recommend trying your idea, but using a combo of stevia and maple syrup, so you do have some moisture. I think the coconut palm sugar would make it too gritty in texture, but you could try that as well. You would need to adjust the coconut flour so that you get a tacky dough that holds together well when rolled into a ball. I wish I had measurements to give you, but you’ll have to experiment a bit to get the right combo. Thanks again for your kind note! Blessings, Kelly

    My 5 yo daughter was SO excited to make these with me. And they turned out delicious! I wish I had completely raw almond butter, I realized that it has sugar added into the Maranatha brand at my Walmart. No wonder it’s so sweet. We have made it ourselves with our bulk almonds before but it is such a chore and not sure it is much cheaper. Might have to go back to that if I can’t find the no sugar added almond butter.

    Thanks for the great recipe!

      So glad you and your daughter enjoyed making these – it sounds like you have the no-stir almond butter, those no-stir nut butters do include sugar and also some form of oil. Making it yourself is a great idea, because you can soak the almonds first too. 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to leave a note! 🙂

      Hi, Merri. I don’t provide nutritional breakdowns here, but you can easily do this for any recipe you’d like using online software such as this site (of course there are many more like it): http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/calculator. Just type in the ingredients, including any adjustments you want to make and it will give you the nutritional data. Hope this helps. Lots of blessings, Kelly 🙂

    I love that when those around me are reaching for Twinkies, Candy Bars, and other wheat/white sugar/frankenfood treats… I am perfectly HAPPY reaching for a couple of these Bites or Truffles. Thank you very much for a quick and easily tweakable recipe.

    Hello! Can I use organic whole wheat flour as a sub for the coconut flour?

      Hi, Kim. The two are completely different since coconut flour is far more absorbent. And my guess is that wheat flour will make these taste pasty. What I would recommend instead is using rolled oats or a combination of wheat flour and rolled oats. But you will have to be willing to experiment and take the time to see what the right combination is. 🙂

    Hi, I was wondering if I could sub’ regular butter for the almond butter? We are nut, grain & seed free. It makes it difficult to make “treats” sometimes. Many thanks from a new Aussie follower 🙂

      Hi, Jozlyn. I love all my Aussie friends, so welcome. Sadly, butter (as much as I love it) will not do the trick in that the consistency of the nut butter binds with the other ingredients to create a firm dough ball and butter wouldn’t provide the taste or texture to do that. If you can tolerate coconut, I would recommend using coconut butter (also referred to as coconut cream concentrate) instead. It’s consistency is like that of a nut butter and it should work well to create a delicious and somewhat firm dough. 🙂

      And “P.S.” coconut is technically not a nut, but is a drupe fruit, however, do check with your allergist if you haven’t already tried coconut. Also, be sure that you purchase coconut that has not been processed in a facility that processes nuts, as I’m sure you know. 🙂

    Yup! We are making these as our holiday cookies this year and they are wonderful! both the chocolate chip and the snickerdoodle recipes are not lasting very long because we are eating and sharing with neighbors who love them too. We tried using peanut butter and almond butter – I like the almond butter but my neighbor prefers the peanut butter. Thanks for providing a wonderful cookies that my youngest can eat. It is difficult, especially at the holidays, when she wants to eat all the special festive desserts that her body won’t process. Thanks for a wonderful cookie just for her!

    These cookie dough bites are one of our family’s favorite before bedtime snack…the kids beg me to make these for them…and they even have my picky eater husband asking for them as well. I am glad that there is something healthy that he appreciates as a snack. I will have to try the variations that you have made. Thanks so much. Your website is a blessing.

      Hi, Heather. Like most whole foodies, I don’t personally count calories but focus on eating a balanced diet of whole foods. But I do want to share with you that there is a handy dandy online tool that’s free called Recipe Calculator. You can get a full nutritional breakdown on any recipe by plugging in the ingredients. Here’s the link: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/calculator With blessings, Kelly 🙂
