As someone who doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, I don't crave cookies very often, but I do love cookie dough more than actual baked cookies!
The great thing about this version is it's made without sugar and you don't have to bake the flour first. All-purpose flour sometimes has bacteria and needs to be baked first.
Almond flour is completely safe to eat raw, because it's simply made from raw nuts.

Sweetener Used in the Recipe
I used granulated monkfruit sweetener. It's organic, zero calorie, and zero carb. You can use Discount Code: STAYSNATCHED to save.
To keep this sugar free you will have to use a sweetener that is free of refined sugar. If you want to use refined sugar, you can use the same amount noted in this recipe (for monkfruit).
Do You Have to Refrigerate the Dough First?
No, I don't refrigerate it before diving it. You should refrigerate any leftover dough for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

What Type of Chocolate to Use
I love the chocolate chips from Lily's. They are sweetened with stevia and very low in carbs. You can find the chocolate chips here on Amazon.
How Many Carbs?
There are 3 net carbs per each cookie dough bite.
Do You Need to Use Cream Cheese?
If you want to make the cookie dough into a spreadable dip, or a dip that can also be enjoyed with a spoon, then add cream cheese! It will thin out the texture some.
Can You Substitute Coconut Flour?
Coconut flour and almond flour do not have a 1:1 swap. Coconut flour is a lot drier and denser, hence why I rarely use it.
If you want to use coconut flour you will have to experiment with the recipe.
Freezer Tips
Freeze the dough in balls for up to 30 days. Defrost the cookie dough in the fridge.

This was SO good! And very easy. The cookie dough was done & ready to eat in minutes. I used monkfruit sweetener but I didn't have chocolate chips. Even without the chocolate, the recipe was still excellent.

I’m heading back to work tomorrow for my usual 8 day stretch and saw this recipe come across my inbox today. Hadn’t prepped any treats for the sweet tooth during the work week so this was quick and simple. It’s just the right amount of sweetness. And I went ahead and froze half of the recipe into individual servings so I’m prepared for future cravings!
staysnatched says
That's a great idea!

Very easy to make, good for a late night snack. I added a heaping teaspoon of natural PB and i really enjoyed this chilled. Made about 10 large cupcake liner sized bites
