Taste and texture:

This cookie dough is smooth, sweet and full of chocolate chips. The dough is nice and moist and not dry or crumbly. It tastes like a chocolate chip cookie!

Key ingredients and substitutions:

• Almond flour – almond flour is one of my favourite gluten free flours that has a natural sweet flavour from the almonds. It’s made from blanched, ground almonds so it’s full of healthy fats, fiber and protein. You could swap this for cashew flour instead. Be sure to use almond flour and not almond meal. Almond meal is too gritty. 
• Coconut flour – coconut flour is used to add just a bit more texture and sweet taste to this cookie dough. I don’t recommend trying to swap this with another flour. 
• Maple syrup – maple syrup is a delicious natural sweetener. It adds the perfect amount of sweetness to this cookie dough and it’s also safe if you are vegan or avoiding refined sugar. 
• Coconut milk – coconut milk helps add moisture and a delicious, rich flavour to this recipe. You could swap this for milk or another dairy free milk of your choice such as cashew milk, oat milk or almond milk. If using coconut milk I recommend using full fat coconut milk for the best flavour and healthy fats. 
• Chocolate chips – dark chocolate chips are used to make the best edible chocolate chip cookie dough! To keep this recipe refined sugar free choose chocolate chips sweetened with coconut sugar. If you are vegan be sure to use vegan chocolate chips. If you are dairy free use dairy free chocolate chips.
