Vegan chocolate chip cookie dough bites are deliciously addictive and perfectly poppable!
Some days you just need some cookie dough, am I right?
Remember the good old days when your mom would make chocolate chip cookies and you would lick the beaters and sneak spoonfuls of the batter because it was so good? And then if you are like me maybe you grew up and started thinking salmonella wasn’t such a fun idea and just kind of stopped that little habit. But, if you are like me then you still secretly really like cookie dough.
Friends, this recipe for vegan chocolate chip cookie dough bites is for you. (Well, and for me too, because I made these and still have a stash in my freezer, but really for you).
And to be honest, we don’t eat eggs over here, so I can actually eat all the cookie dough I want when I bake cookies, but I thought it would be a fun treat to make little bites that were expressly for eating.
You could certainly make these cookie dough bites gluten free – just be sure to use a gluten free flour that you enjoy the taste of raw. One reader mentioned that she was able to make these bites with coconut flour, so that’s another option
Not dairy free? Use regular butter and chocolate chips. They will taste wonderful either way!
I store these in the freezer so that I’m not tempted to eat them all at once. They keep very well frozen – just let them thaw before eating.
These vegan chocolate chip cookie dough bites are:
- dairy free, egg free, and allergy friendly
- easily stored in the freezer

I’m not sure what I did wrong. When I was mixing the dough it was all powdery, it never actually formed a dough. The only adjustment I made to the recipe was baking the all-purpose flour for 5 minutes at 350 degrees prior to adding into the recipe. Our “dough balls” are still rather powdery but the taste is sooooo good so I still gave it 4 stars. Any suggestions?
What flour did you use? You can always add more buttery spread or a little liquid to help hold them together.
Thank you, I’ll try that next time. We used all-purpose flour.
I totally recommend!!
So glad you liked it! Thanks for letting me know!
Love these! Hope you don’t mind, but I adapted these just a tiny bit, and am going to post the recipe on my blog that I just started. I do give you credit! :)
Glad you like these, thank you for linking back!
I hate to be the party pooper, but flour shouldn’t be eaten raw. Health Canada warned the population after a wave of E coli episodes :( That’s too bad because they look perfect for when you really want to indulge.
I make mine with a mix of cashews and oats (and no sugar or butter). This way I can eat them without any concern or “guilt”!
this worked perfectly! we tried two recipies (both based off of yours) and it was the perfect treat! one with regular flour and the other with coconut flower. thank you so much for this recipe! we all loved it

So glad you liked them, and good to know that coconut flour works, too!
Oh my, LOVE!!! Cannot wait to make these!
These are perfection. I made these twice in 3 days. Some days you just need some cookie dough is absolutely right!! And these keep perfectly in the freezer. You can eat them right out of the freezer, they don’t get too hard. I love these and love the easy simple recipe.
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know you like them! :)
what if you don’t want a vegan friendly suggestion what would you substitute for buttery spread otherwise great idea for valentines day
Just use regular butter, that will work! :)
Quick question: I don’t have brown sugar here in Germany, what would be a good sub for these?
I use coconut palm sugar but if You don’t have brown sugar You may not have that either… maybe a bit of molasses along with sugar…
Excellent suggestion, Becky!
TY but I was just stabbing in the dark… You KNEW! That’s why You are the Queen!! MORE Blessings upon You and Yours Kelly for all Your hard work!
You could make your own brown sugar: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/230511/light-or-dark-brown-sugar/
yay now i can eat raw cookie dough without getting sick!!!! MMMMMMM!
This is great! Now that I’m pregnant, apparantely eating raw cookie dough is a big no no. But I still take teeny tiny bites when I’m making cookies. I can’t help it! This will be much healthier : )
I know, it’s hard to resist! :)
You are a genius Kelly!! TY for the idea! I’m gonna use quinoa, almond and a bit of arrowroot… hmmm… maybe coconut sugar? YOU ROCK!!
Let me know how they turn out! :)
Kelly! I can never repay the debt I owe You!! I never believed I would EVER eat cookie dough again! I now stand corrected! You have made my dreams come true! I used 1/2 c of almond pulp from milk making (I’m very rigid and squeeze it VERY dry), 1/4 c quinoa flour, 1/4 c arrowroot flour, cut sugar to 1/3 c of my own reduced calorie blend which includes coconut sugar for the real brown sugar taste, cut dark choc chips to 1/2 c to reduce sugar a bit more and …. drum roll… I could just give You the biggest longest tightest hug EVER!! They are PERFECT! I felt like I really was eating evil gluten cookie dough!! So similar in so many ways. Thank You and bless You Kelly! I love Your site, Your posts and am loving my ultimate bundle and my scent locket! Much continued blessings upon You & Yours and Your work!! Thank You for sharing all that You are with so many of us! Your fan!
You are too kind, Becky! I am so glad that you were able to modify this so you could enjoy them! And thank you for your detailed comment, that is sure to help other readers! Have a great day! :)
I will be storing them in the freezer. I live alone and it won’t be good if they are too close at hand or in sight ;-)
oh,boy! It looks absolutely perfect!
