Is there ever a wrong time for chocolate chip cookies?
Since chocolate chip cookies are my absolute favorite, I would tend to say no. But when you’re in the middle of a heat wave, you may not want to turn on the oven at all.
Don’t worry, there’s still a way to satisfy that cookie craving – these gluten free cookie dough bites.
This no-bake dessert is so easy to make – just a few simple ingredients that you probably have in your pantry right now!
You can make these and use the dough in this vegan cookie dough ice cream, a rich and decadent summer dessert!
Ingredient Notes
- Oat Flour – I like to make my own gluten free oat flour from certified gluten free oats, like GF Harvest Oats or One Degree Organic Oats.
- Light Brown Sugar – Brown sugar adds a little more flavor than white sugar would. You could use coconut sugar or date sugar if you prefer.
- Vegan Buttery Spread – We like Earth Balance Soy Free Vegan Buttery Spread, but really any brand of vegan butter should work just fine here.
- Dairy Free Chocolate Chips – Feel free to use large chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips – both varieties are available from Enjoy Life and are dairy free and nut free.
Step by Step Instructions
- Place the oat flour, brown sugar, vegan buttery spread, vanilla, and salt in the food processor. Blend until the dough comes together.
- Once the dough forms, add some chocolate chips, and stir by hand.
- Using your hands, roll the dough into balls and then refrigerate until firm.
- That’s all there is to it! Store the finished cookie dough bites in the refrigerator or freezer, and enjoy!
FAQs
There is a risk to eating uncooked all-purpose flour – it can contain harmful bacteria like E. coli. Cooking the flour in the oven for a few minutes will kill any bacteria. You can read more about that here.
This recipe uses oat flour that you make yourself from gluten free oats, so you don’t have to worry about bacteria. It’s the same as if you were making no-bake granola bars with oats – delicious and safe to eat!
Yes, these can be made with coconut flour or almond flour if those ingredients work for you.
Storage
You can store these in an airtight container in the fridge for about a week.
If you’d like to keep them longer, store in the freezer for up to three months. You will want to thaw them out before eating them.
