No Bake Cookie Dough Bites is egg-free, edible, and vegan! They are the perfect quick bite to satisfy your sweet tooth!

One of my favorite things to eat is cookie dough. Like, raw, not recommended for eating cookie dough. Maybe that’s why I like under-baking cookies so much…

If you want to browse recipes by flavor you have to check out my peanut butter recipes, vanilla recipes, strawberry recipes, and mint recipes!

Ingredients & Substitutions:

Cashew Butter. I love how mellow cashew butter is and it serves as the base of this recipe. If you’re in a pinch, you can use peanut butter, tahini, or almond butter but keep in mind the cookie dough bites will take on that nut/seed butter flavor. If you need a substitution and can eat dairy, try some unsalted room temperature butter!

Agave Nectar. You can sub in another sticky sweetener like honey or maple syrup.

Vanilla Extract. Give it some extra cookie dough flavor!

Almond Flour. Will give the cookie dough balls some structure. I love blanched almond flour because it’s super-fine and has a lighter color. I wouldn’t sub in another

Salt. Brings out that cookie dough sweetness.

Chocolate Chips. Because it is chocolate chip cookie dough, after all! You could also cut up a chocolate bar if you don’t have chips.

This is an image of a bowl with a blue and white pattern. Inside the bowl is raw chocolate chip cookie dough.

How to Make Cookie Dough Bites:

Mix. First we’re mixing the wet ingredients, then dry ingredients and folding in the chocolate chips.

Chill. This is important if you want to roll these into balls. Listen, I won’t blame you if you go straight into the bowl with a spoon, but if you chill the dough for 30+ minutes you’ll be able to easily roll them into balls or cookie dough bites.

Roll. I used a cookie scooper to scoop out balls and roll them between my hands to make them smooth. This is easiest and they hold their shape best if you have some patience (I struggle lol) and let them chill first.

Enjoy! Whether you eat 1 or 10, enjoy enjoy enjoy!

How to Store These Bites:

In the fridge!! My friends, these are best store in the fridge. At room temperature they get soft (which is kinda lovely). But, for long-term storage keep the chilled in the fridge.

Prep: 10 minCook: chill time: 30+ minTotal: 40+ min

Servings: 18 bites 1x

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cashew butter
  • 1/4 cup agave nectar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cashew butter, agave, and vanilla. 
  2. Once smooth, add the almond flour and salt. Whisk again until combined. 
  3. Fold in the chocolate chips. 
  4. Chill for at least 30 minutes. The longer this dough chills, the easier it is to roll into balls, so if you have 2 hours to let the dough chill, let it chill out in the fridge for a bit. 
  5. After it chills, use a cookie scooper to scoop out balls and roll them in between your hands to smooth them. 
  6. Place on a plate or piece of parchment paper.
  7. Store in the fridge.

    What can you sub the agave for? Would maple syrup work?

    Highly recommend this recipe! The texture is delicious, it satisfies my sweet tooth, and I’m making a better choice than raw cookie dough.

    These are great! Minimum effort, big reward! I used maple syrup instead of agave, because that’s what I had at hand. I also rolled them in puffed quinoa right before eating them for some crunch. Delicious!
