Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Medjool dates pitted
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1.5 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds (or chia seeds)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt plus more to taste
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Food Processor

Method
 

  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.
