Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 20 balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, maple syrup, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, consistent dough forms.
- Gently fold in dairy-free chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough mixture.
- Place the mixing bowl in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to help the dough firm up slightly, which will make rolling easier.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and use clean hands to roll the mixture into small, uniform balls approximately 1-inch in diameter.
- As you roll each ball, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Once all balls are formed, return them to the refrigerator for an additional 15-20 minutes to set and become firmer.
- Store the cookie dough balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer preservation.
- Before serving, let the balls sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly for optimal texture and flavor.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better dough consistency.
- For extra flavor, try toasting the almond flour lightly before mixing for a deeper, nuttier taste.
- Ensure your peanut butter is smooth and well-stirred to prevent lumpy textures.
- If the dough feels too sticky, chill it for an extra 5-10 minutes before rolling.
- Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon for more uniform ball sizes.
- For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of vegan protein powder to the mixture.
- Experiment with different dairy-free chocolate chip varieties for unique flavor profiles.
- Keep a small bowl of water nearby when rolling to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands.
