Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (192 grams) almond flour
- 1/2 cup (128 grams) cashew butter
- 1/4 cup (84 grams) maple syrup
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Chocolate Components:
- 1/3 cup (56 grams) mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, amalgamate almond flour, cashew butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt, whisking thoroughly until a cohesive, dense mixture materializes.
- Delicately incorporate mini chocolate chips, ensuring uniform distribution throughout the dough by using gentle folding techniques.
- Utilize a compact cookie scoop or precision spoon to meticulously craft petite, uniform spherical formations from the prepared mixture.
- Arrange the freshly molded dough orbs onto a parchment-covered tray, creating a systematic layout that allows adequate spacing between each sphere.
- Transfer the tray to the refrigeration unit, allowing the delicate morsels to solidify and develop a firmer consistency for approximately 20-30 minutes.
- Upon chilling, retrieve the dough balls and select your preferred consumption method: savor them directly from the refrigerator for a crisp texture or permit them to rest momentarily at ambient temperature for a more yielding, creamy experience.
Notes
- Swap almond flour with coconut flour for a nut-free version, adjusting liquid ingredients to maintain dough consistency.
- Freeze these cookie dough balls for up to 2 months, creating a quick and convenient healthy snack anytime.
- Use dark chocolate chips for a lower sugar option or vegan chocolate chips to make the recipe completely plant-based.
- Rolling the balls with slightly damp hands prevents sticky dough from clinging to your fingers and ensures smoother, more uniform shapes.
