Who doesn’t love eating raw cookie dough? These cookie dough cups are every cookie dough lovers dream come true, not to mention they’re made with just a handful of good for you ingredients. The cookie dough layer is sandwiched between a date cacao brownie base and a decadent chocolate topping for the sweet treat of your dreams! No one would ever guess that the soft and chewy cookie dough is made with a secret ingredient…. chickpeas! But trust me, you honestly can’t taste them at all and they create the creamiest doughy texture ever. Finally you can have your cookie dough cravings satisfied and feel good about what you’re eating at the same time!

TIPS TO MAKE THIS RECIPE PERFECTLY

Use soft, pitted medjool dates - you want to use those soft and gooey medjool dates for this recipe. They blend well with the other ingredients, and also have that rich caramel-like flavour which adds a lovely sweetness!

If your dates are not soft - soak them in warm water for 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry, then continue on with the recipe.

Store in the fridge or freezer - I personally love storing these cookie dough cups in the freezer to have on hand for whenever that sweet tooth craving hits! If storing them in the freezer, let thaw 15 minutes before enjoying. If storing in the fridge, you can devour them straight away.

Blending the cookie dough - if your cookie dough feels too dry/crumbly, add a splash of almond milk at a time until doughy mixture binds together.

Notes

*can sub cashew butter for any creamy nut butter. Cashew and almond are my favourites!
