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!

Just texted hubby to pick up some cassava flour. This is on our to do list for the holidays! Thank you.????
hope you love it!
I just made this recipe for a Halloween party tonight – they are delicious!! i subbed coconut flour because I couldn’t find cassava, and I love the flavor (esp. combined with coconut oil). The recipe didn’t yield that many balls, so I doubled it.
Thanks!!!
I can’t wait to make these tomorrow. Thank you!!!
These sound so amazing and I wish I had more energy to get off my butt and make them right this second. You are the coolest. Your photos are beautiful! Can’t wait to see more.
SO happy these are also vegan-friendly! Every bite looks fabulous, whether plain or DUNKED in chocolate!
so glad you liked them, cassie!
Did you use coconut oil, ghee or grass fed butter? I used coconut oil and coconut sugar and mine were grainy and a little dry. I don’t follow directions very well so maybe I used too much casava flour or didn’t measure the oil correctly, which is totally possible. They taste good and will try again with butter…everything is better with butter. 🙂 Was just curious on what you used.
Thanks for all the great recipes!
i used coconut oil! if it seems a little dry next time, just add a little more fat!
Not my favorite, but if I was reaching for gluten free cookie dough I would definitely make this recipe again! I always appreciate your dessert recipes 🙂
My 11 yr old made these today. So simple and delicious! Hopefully, there will be some leftover for their lunches tomorrow.
Thanks for all you do!
I look forward to your posts everyday.

thanks for the love, christine! glad you liked the little bites!
I made these this weekend and shared the recipe with a friend of mine who has horrible food allergies. I then told her not to make them unless she plans to gain 100 lbs because these are A-MAZING!!!! Thanks so much for sharing!
yay!! so glad you guys loved them!!
Simple and amazing! I added cinnamon to one batch, although the flavor was nice the texture was off. Also swapped maple sugar for coconut sugar. The color was a bit darker.
