Our recipe is made with almond flour instead of traditional flour. Because almond flour is just ground up almonds – it’s perfectly safe to eat raw and the perfect choice for no bake cookie dough.
With our cookie dough recipe, you’re looking at just 6g net carbs per serving (approximately 4-5 cookie dough bites or 2-3 tablespoons of raw cookie dough).
This makes it a yummy gluten-free sweet snack that can work perfectly well for Low Carb, Keto and Paleo dieters.
Regular cookie dough, that is meant to be baked – usually has eggs in it, because raw eggs can carry bacteria and is best not eaten raw. The same goes with flour – it can also carry bacteria making it unsafe to eat raw.
Therefore with traditional edible cookie dough, it is normally made without eggs and the flour gets baked beforehand to kill any potential harmful bacteria.
When I did my research for creating this recipe, I looked at dozens of other recipes and feedback from real people. I quickly came to the conclusion that an essential ingredient to making the perfect cookie dough is, you guessed it – baking soda. It gives the cookie dough that unmistakable authentic “cookie dough” flavor.
It all depends on what kind of cookie dough we’re talking about. If you’re talking store bought sugar-laden cookie dough no! But, if you’re talking homemade edible cookie dough yes! The absolute best thing about a Low-Carb, Keto or even Paleo diet, is that it’s not really a “diet” (in the traditional sense) at all. It’s all about choosing your ingredients wisely.
How To Make Cookie Dough Bites:
I like to take the time and portion the mixture into little cookie dough bites, and then keep them in a container in the fridge.
I use about 2 teaspoons worth of the cookie dough mix and roll them between my hands until they’re smooth little balls. Then, whenever I walk past the fridge – I grab one.
Yep, it definitely gets eaten really fast – especially when everybody else in the house does the same thing I do.

Notes
- I use about 2 teaspoon of mixture and roll it into cookie dough bites (it makes 30 on average)
- I stir the chocolate chip is last because with the vigorous stirring when combining the rest of the ingredients, the chocolate chips has started to melt.
- Replace the honey with any sweetener of choice, but keep in mind that if you’re using a powdered sweetener you might need to add a few extra drops of coconut oil if the mixture is too dry.
