Cookie Dough That’s Actually GOOD For You!

October 6, 2015 by Erin Palinski-Wade Leave a Comment

Your eyes are not deceiving you. You read that headline correctly. You can actually make a cookie dough that’s truly safe to eat raw AND offers health benefits! I know it sounds to good to be true, and I will be honest, it’s not 100% like the original. But it is delicious, super easy to make, and you can have it everyday if you really want. That in my book makes it a win!

Healthy Cookie Dough!

The best part about this recipe is the chickpea (or garbanzo bean) flour. This bean is packed full of soluble fiber and resistant starch. Soluble fiber has been found to help lower unhealthy LDL-cholesterol levels while resistant starch has been found to potentially offer many health benefits such as a providing you with a slight boost in metabolism. In addition, this starch may even heighten the immune system.

To make this all you need are the following ingredients:

1 cup chickpea flour (you can also use almond flour depending on your taste preference)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 Tablespoon agave

2 Tbs maple syrup

1 Tbs stevia

¼ tsp salt

2-3 Tbs low fat milk (you may use almond or soy milk as well)

3 Tbs mini dark chocolate chips

Directions:

In a bowl or food processor (I used both when testing this and found the food processor to be much easier, but you can use a bowl as well if you don’t have access to one) mix together the flour, vanilla, agave, salt, syrup, and stevia to form a dough. Add in the milk as needed to moisten the mixture until you get the perfect cookie dough texture. Finally, mix in the chocolate chips and form into balls to eat and enjoy. You can eat right away or store in the fridge for up to one week (or freeze and enjoy for up to 2 months).
