Whether you’re in need of a late-night snack or a sweet treat to share with friends, this Edible Cookie Dough will satisfy your cravings without any fuss. Let me take you on a journey where we blend wholesome ingredients into a delightful, easy-to-make treat.

Everything You Need for Edible Cookie Dough

When crafting the perfect Edible Cookie Dough, each ingredient plays a crucial role in achieving the right texture and flavor. The combination of dates, almond flour, and mini chocolate chips creates a delightful balance of sweetness and chewiness. Let’s dive into what you’ll need to bring this recipe to life.

• 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted (8 ounces) – These naturally sweet fruits provide a rich base for the dough, ensuring it’s both sweet and sticky.
• 1/2 cup water – This helps to blend the dates smoothly, creating a creamy consistency.
• 1.5 cups blanched almond flour – A gluten-free alternative to regular flour, it adds a nutty flavor and the right texture.
• 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds (or chia seeds) – These tiny seeds not only enhance nutrition but also help bind the dough.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Adding a warm, comforting flavor that elevates the overall taste.
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste – A pinch of salt balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors.
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips – These bite-sized treats add a delightful chocolatey goodness that every cookie dough needs.

Making This Edible Cookie Dough

Creating Edible Cookie Dough is not only easy but also incredibly satisfying. Follow these simple steps to make your own batch of deliciousness. You’ll be snacking on this sweet treat in no time!

1. Start by gathering your ingredients. In a large food processor fitted with an S blade, combine 1 cup Medjool dates and 1/2 cup water. This combination will serve as the sweet foundation of your dough. Process until the dates are broken down and the mixture is smooth. You might want to wrap your food processor with a towel, as the water can splash out a bit at the beginning.
2. Once your dates are nicely blended, it’s time to add the dry ingredients. Pour in 1.5 cups blanched almond flour, along with 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt. Pulse the food processor again. You want to blend until a smooth cookie dough forms. Be sure to taste it at this point and add more salt if desired; I personally find that an extra pinch adds a lovely contrast to the sweetness.
3. Next, it’s time for the best part—adding the chocolate chips! Pour in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips and pulse the food processor 2 to 3 times. You want those chocolate chips incorporated without blending them entirely into the dough.
4. Transfer your dough mixture to an airtight container. This keeps it fresh and delicious! You can store your Edible Cookie Dough in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Just keep in mind that it may be tempting to eat it all at once!
5. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply scoop out spoonfuls and indulge. There’s no need to bake it—just grab a spoon and dig in! I promise you, every bite is a heavenly experience.
