Today’s recipe was suppose to be granola bars but then I remembered that everyone’s Halloween parties are THIS weekend so you would probably want a Halloween treat this week instead of next week. Who am I kidding? This is a treat you’ll want any day of the week, month…or year. Not just Halloween. I haven’t eaten cookie dough in SO long and I can definitely say that I’m quite into it. Cookie dough is my new make out buddy.
I just made it weird, didn’t I?
So today I have my third photography class (out of four) and I’m excited to learn just a little more. We’ve learned about aperture, shutter speed and ISO but we haven’t learned much else yet. And I still have a hard time figuring out how all those three things work together. When he explains it, I don’t really understand it. But when I go out and start messing around with my camera, I get it way more. I’m so excited to finally truly understand it at some point and begin to take better photos for you guys!
Since taking this class, I totally want to do another one. I absolutely HATED school because it felt like I would never use most of my classes in the real world, even though my degree was in Health & Exercise Science. My poor parents thought I would never use my degree but luckily it has come in handy in many ways. But I was usually extremely bored in classes like economics and accounting, and the stress of tests really ruined the learning experience for me. So going to a class that has you actually physically learning everything that you read is such a breath of fresh air! Since I definitely don’t plan to continue my education in a masters degree, these four photography classes will have to do! That’s way more fun anyways.
Ok, I’m gonna go eat some edible cookie dough before class. Loveyoukbye.
Edible Cookie Dough Bites
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup softened coconut oil or ghee or grass-fed butter
- 1/2 cup maple sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup cassava flour
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 2 cups mini chocolate chips (or whatever chocolate you prefer), melted
Instructions
- Use a hand mixer to cream together softened coconut oil (ghee or butter), sugar and vanilla extract until combined.
- Slowly add the cassava flour while the hand mixer is running until all of the flour is combined. Then fold in salt and chocolate chips.
- Use a cookie scoop to pack and shape dough into 12-14 balls. Place balls in the fridge to harden for about 10-15 minutes.*
- Melt chocolate in the microwave or in a double boiler then use a fork to dip each cookie dough ball into the chocolate and coat on all sides. Using the fork to balance the chocolate ball, lightly tap off the excess chocolate then place on wax paper. Place all the balls in the fridge to harden the chocolate for 10 minutes .
- Before serving, let the balls come to room temperature for 10-15 minutes and serve with a toothpick!
Notes
*You will do this if you plan on covering them in chocolate because the dough can tend to melt when the warm chocolate hits it. If you are not covering them in chocolate, you eat them right there!

Same! Getting Cassava flour today. Also you are just the best. I’m caught up now on Wine and Crime podcast and I know I said this before but you NEED to do a podcast with them! I like your interview podcasts, love your listener questions ones too and your recaps of trips. Basically whatever you want to do I love 🙂 Thursdays are for Wine and Crime. Cheers
thursdays really are the best because of them! i’m so sad i’m caught up because waiting a full week takes forever lol. and thank you so much for the love!
Things look so yummy and I can’t wait to make them. Could you use coconut sugar instead of maple? I don’t have any at home and I don’t want to go out just to get maple sugar – although I’ll add it to my list and get some the next time I go. I just want to make them for my kids when they get home from school.
Thanks again for all you do including your clothing posts. People can just be so rude and inconsiderate. KEEP doing what you’re doing because people like me love following you. ????
you definitely could!! the color will just be a little different since coconut sugar is darker! and thanks for the love rochelle!! xoxoxo
is there any substitution for cassava flour like coconut flour or almond flour? thank you 🙂
haven’t tried it with other flours
They may have already told you something like this in your photography class, but just in case, this comparison made a huge difference for me in understanding aperture and shutter speed. The camera lens is like your eye lens. When you’re outside in full sun or in a well-lit room, your pupil gets smaller and you blink faster because there’s so much light and all you would see is white. When you’re in the dark, your pupil gets bigger and you blink slower to let in as much light as possible so you can see details.
Yes! I have been waiting for this recipe to popup!
Yum!!!! My kids will thank you????
Oooo! I’ve been waiting to see this recipe since you posted the sneak peek!
Thanks for being awesome and providing me with tasty gluten free treat options!
Looks so good! I took a camera class just run through our town and it helped so much! What camera do you have? Your pictures look great!
i just got a canon 5D Mark III!
After all this time and all your experience, you’re still getting a lot out of these classes? Sounds like they’re photography basics, but maybe I misinterpreted that.
What have you been learning that is new to you? Your photos are already I-need-that-in-my-mouth awesome.
i don’t know any of the basics! i’ve always shot with my camera on automatic so i’m definitely getting a lot out of the classes so i just know the basics of how to work my camera on manuel and what ISO, aperture and shutter speed and how they work together!
