This recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls tastes like you’re eating a spoonful of cookie dough, without the raw eggs or flour.

Ingredients in this recipe
- Almond Flour: this makes up the “dough” of the recipe. Almond flour is made from finely ground almonds and is a great protein-rich flour.
- Salt: just a pinch.
- Almond butter: the runny kind is best. Peanut butter, tahini or any type of nut butter you love will work.
- Brown rice syrup: to add sweetness and help bind everything together. You could also use maple syrup, honey or any other sticky sweetener.
- Vanilla extract: use the real stuff! This is to add that classic cookie dough flavour to the balls.
- Almond milk: a few drops to help the dough come together.
- Dark chocolate chips: essential to make chocolate chip cookie dough! If you want more recipes with chocolate chips also try these Cookie Dough Overnight Oats!

Is there a way to use dates as the sweetener in this recipe? If so how many would I use? I love the rich caramel-like taste that dates give to bliss balls , but if it wouldn’t work in this maple syrup is delicious! Thanks – your recipes always turn out great.
Hi Hilary, you can definitely use dates in this recipe, however, it will alter the texture and taste and make these into more of an energy ball that really tasting like cookie dough. I can’t say exactly how many you would need. My recommendation would be to make this in a food processor starting with a few dates (4-5) and turning on the food processor and adding more dates as needed until it forms a dough!
They look so delicious, Jess! The perfect snack for when you need a quick bite! 🙂
