I don’t know about you, but I’m in love. With cookie bites. Deep inside, I think people love the Super Bowl more for the mini snacks than for the actual game. I’m sure I’ll get hell for saying that, but I don’t care. COME AT ME, BRO! But for real, snacks are flowing everywhere. And they’re all bite size. If I showed up to a party that had cookie pie ice cream bites, I’d for sure be down to watch football. It’s all about the reward when doing things you don’t want to do.
I’m real in love with Anna Kendrick. I’m not one for girl crushes, mostly because I like boys better, but she’s my new girl crush. I started following her on instagram AND twitter. And I don’t even really look at twitter. I comment back to 3% of tweets and then move on with my day. I never actually look at what other people write. But I have that much of a crush on her that I’m not a follower. I also started following Jesse Tyler on instagram. He’s the red head gay dad on Modern Family. He’s effing hilarious. Sometimes, when I’m in a bad mood, I just go to his instagram and watch all the videos. Him and Anna Kendrick should be best buds. Just my personal input into their personal lives.
Speaking of bad mood, I’m a little stress pot right now. Really no huge reason to be, I just seem to like to stress out sometimes. I mean, I cook and eat for a living, so I don’t have a ton to be stressed about. Other than eating too many cookie bites. But I’m finishing up my second cookbook that I’m co-authoring with George and it’s a stressful step. Writing can be stressful. On here, I totally don’t care what I say. You don’t have to read it, my website is free, and I mostly just write down things so I don’t have to go see a shrink. It’s a genius idea, really. But writing in a cookbook, you have to be more professional and explain every little detail about every little thing. I’m not really complaining, more so just getting aggravated by the wrinkles I get between my eyes while constantly thinking and staring at a computer screen. And you know how I feel about wrinkles. Answer: not good.
Omg. I move soon. I know I’ve been saying this for the past…month. But now it’s serious go time. Like all my stuff is congregating in boxes kind of go time. I’m buying things on Amazon like nobody’s business. I had to get a Prime membership just because I was buying so much stuff on there. I even had knives show up on my doorstep yesterday! Don’t worry, I ordered them. Thankfully, I’m moving about 3 miles away from where I currently live, so the move will be easy peasy. I know you were worried and all. And soon I will be able to share photos and my place morphing together into a little home. Step by step. I’m sure that’s what you were looking for on a food website. Home decor. Yaysoexciting!
Super Bowl Snacks: Cookie Pie Ice Cream Bites
- Yield: 10-12 1x
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut butter, softened
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips
- coconut milk ice cream of choice – I used Coconut Bliss or you could make your own (the ice cream is totally optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8×8 glass baking dish with parchment paper.
- Place coconut butter in a large bowl along with coconut sugar and mix together until well combined.
- Then add maple syrup, vanilla extract and eggs and mix until combined.
- Lastly, add almond flour, baking powder, salt and chocolate chips. Fold everything together.
- Pour batter into baking dish and spread out evenly throughout the dish.
- Place in preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The middle should be slightly firm but not hard. Do not over bake because it will harden while cooling.
- Remove from oven, let pan cool, then place in the freezer. Freeze for an hour or longer. Once the cookie pie has hardened, remove from freezer, remove the parchment paper from the dish then use a large knife to cut the cookie into 1 inch cubes. This will create 20-30 cookie squares depending how big you make them.
- Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to scoop out a small amount of ice cream and place on top of each cookie square. Then place a toothpick in the middle of each square for easy serving!

Julie I love you, but you’re killing me! I know kind of harsh, but it’s true. I am a new found paleo-er and was only finally convinced to try it when I got your cookbook for Christmas. Everything looked so good! But here’s the thing, while going through a week straight of every meal coming out of that wonderful book I discovered I am allergic to coconut! It’s my first known food allergy and I had never eaten it before so not a big loss right? WRONG! Soo many of your fabulous recipes call for some form of flour. So here is my cry for help (via this novel-my apologies)! I’ve been able to sub almond flour in some things but what is a non-coconut eating lover of new recipes girl to do when trying to eat paleo?? ….particularly when looking at the picture above. I’m drooling. Seriously. It’s a problem. Help!
coconut allergies are always pretty difficult. i think in this situation, you could probably sub some kind of nut butter instead of the coconut butter. it may not come out exactly the same but still pretty good
we think these would be the perfect food to de-stress with, yes? wishing you all the best with the move and cookbook!! all the stress and worry will be worth it.
Hey Juli! 2 questions – favorite brand of almond flour for baking? And can you get coconut cream concentrate locally here in Denver? LOVE all your recipes and looking forward to incorporating these on Sunday@ Super Bowl party.
I just make my own almond flour or buy it in bulk at whole foods since i don’t use it that often. And you can buy coconut butter or creamed coconut at whole foods (which is the same thing as coconut cream concentrate)
Omg hi! I have literally baked something off your blog every day for the past month. So far these have been my favorite creation! They were soooooo yummy and coconutty and that made them absolutely perfect! Thanks for the blog your really entertaining and I love the recipes!
Hi Juli! Love your blog.I’m new to Paleo, and I made your hummingbird bread last weekend and have gotten my entire family on the paleo bandwagon as a result. Just a quick question. I live in Ireland, so the selection of things available is very different. I am struggling to find a can of coconut milk that doesn’t contain emulsifiers, so can’t make the coconut butter. I was wondering is it possible to sub in regular, grass fed butter? From most of what I’ve read about Paleo, grass fed butter is all good. Over here the meat and dairy products are grass fed pretty much as standard, so grass fed butter both salted and unsalted are easy enough to come by. Would the recipe work with regular butter?
i’m not sure butter will work the same in this recipe, especially since i haven’t tried it. but you may be able to just use almond butter or another nut butter instead of the coconut butter
When I move I notice that my collective crap tends to congregate in corrugated cardboard containers. This recipe looks fantastic! I will have to try this in the very near future! I may add a pinch of cinnamon and clove to it.
I just made these and OMG delicious!!!!! I love you website and trying new recipes. I’ve made a bunch of the crockpot recipes!!! More please:)
An you substitute anything for the coconut sugar??
I have these in my oven right now! Making these bikes, vegan chocolate cheesecake bites, AND the deviled egg recipe you posted tomorrow! Trying to sneak my yummies into my very not so paleo friends diets lol
Just made these for the big game tonight. They smell delicious! I don’t know that I can wait until the party tonight!! Love, love, love your recipes!!!
And I feel for your move! I’ve been saying for 6 mos. that we’re moving…house renovation is REALLY behind 🙂 I’ve been packing since last May, so hopefully one of these days we’ll actually move! Like you, it’s a short distance – just 7 houses – but still a ton work! Good luck with your move 🙂
