Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls

I love chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, unfortunately it causes my skin to breakout. The best part of that ice cream is the cookie dough, so why not make a healthy-ish treat out of it when I want something sweet!

I got this recipe online, I have no idea where, I wrote the recipe on post-it and it's been on the cupboard in my house for weeks.

Tips for this recipe:

- Almond flour is expensive, I made my own with white almonds I got at Bulk Barn. If you want Costco also apparently has almond flour and it's less expensive overall.

- If you don't like coconut, you won't like this recipe.

- You need a food processor, or food processor like machine.

How to make almond flour:

- Take your white almonds (called California Almonds at Bulk Barn) put them in a food processor. Turn on the food processor and process until you get the texture you want. It will not be a finely milled as you would get at the store, but I am okay with the texture.

Ingredients:

- 3 cups of almond flour

- 2 cups of unsweetened coconut flakes (Finely milled would be better texture wise)

- 6 tablespoons of maple syrup

- 2 teaspoons of vanilla

- 1 teaspoon of melted coconut oil

- 1/4 teaspoon of salt

- 1/4 cup of vegan chocolate chips

Equipment:

- Food processor

Instructions:

- Put the almond flour and coconut flakes in the food processor. Process together.

- Add the remainder of the ingredients in the processor and continue to process together.

- You should have the texture of cookie dough. Put all of the dough in a bowl and add chocolate chips.

- It will be sticky, but make small balls with the dough and place them in the freezer.

- Eat when you have a hankering for cookie dough.
