Ingredients and substitutions:
- Almond flour - this forms the base of these chocolate chip cookie bites. It gives this cookie dough a slightly sweet flavour and gives the dessert balls the perfect texture. Be sure to use almond flour and not almond meal as almond meal is too gritty. Do not try swapping the almond flour for all purpose flour.
- Coconut flour - this gives this treat even more sweet flavour and the perfect cookie dough texture. Do not try to swap this for a different flour.
- Nut butter - you can use any type of smooth, unsweetened nut butter that you prefer. I like using either cashew butter or peanut butter but other great options include almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
- Maple syrup or honey - either of these two natural liquid sweeteners can be used to naturally sweeten this dessert. Both of these sweeteners are refined sugar free which is why I prefer them. If you are vegan be sure to use maple syrup rather than honey.
- Coconut oil - this is used instead of butter to add some oil to these cookie dough balls and make them even more moist.
- Vanilla extract - this helps enhance all the delicious flavours of this no bake recipe.
- Chocolate chips - you can use any type of chocolate chips that you like for these edible raw cookies. I prefer to use dark chocolate chips but other great options include semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips.

Top Tips:
- Be sure to stir the ingredients well so that you have a smooth cookie dough with no clumps remaining before adding the chocolate chips.
- For best results be sure to use melted coconut oil rather than solid coconut oil to make these little bites.

- To give this dessert a different flavor you can change up the type of nut butter or seed butter that you use.
