How to Make Healthy Chocolate Covered Cookie Dough Balls

Ingredients:

  • 1 & 1/4 cup almond flour (120g)
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar (50g)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted + cooled) (60ml)
  • 2 tbsp milk of choice (30ml) (I used oat milk)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips (60g)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (175g)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (5ml)

Directions:

  1. Let all ingredients come to room temperature.
  2. Mix all ingredients except for the chocolate chips in a bowl.
  3. Fold in 1/3 cup of chocolate chips into the dough mixture.
  4. Set the bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes. This helps to make it easier to roll the dough into balls.
  5. After freezing, roll the dough into balls (about 1 heaping tablespoon each) and place them in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
  6. In the meantime, melt 1 cup of chocolate chips with 1 tsp of coconut oil in the microwave. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth.
  7. Dip each cookie dough ball into the melted chocolate and set them onto a parchment paper-lined plate.
  8. Top with a sprinkle of sea salt and put them back in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours to set.
