    Why you'll love this recipe

    • It's easy to make.
    • Simple, healthy ingredients.
    • No refined sugar.
    • No refined flour.
    • Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free.
    • Great snack for kids or adults!

    🍴Ingredient Notes

    Cookie dough ball ingredients measured out.
    • Coconut Yogurt - I used unsweetened vanilla coconut yogurt.
    • Golden Monkfruit - Any granulated sugar will work!
    • Cashew Butter - Any nut butter will work for this recipe! If you're allergic to nuts, swap for Sunbutter.
    • Dark Chocolate Chips - Any dark chocolate bar or chocolate chips will work with this recipe. My favorite chocolate brands are Hu Kitchen, Pascha, and Evolved Chocolate.
    • Coconut Flour - Do not swap for any other flour.
    • Vanilla Collagen - Any vanilla collagen or protein powder will work. I used Primal Kitchen Vanilla Collagen.
    • Vanilla Extract - You'll need just a splash to add to the cookie dough flavor.

    🍴Step by Step Instructions

    Step 1: Adding Ingredients into a Bowl

    Start by adding coconut yogurt, monkfruit, cashew butter, coconut flour, vanilla collagen, and vanilla extract into a mixing bowl.

    Step 2: Mixing Cookie Dough

    Mix together with a spatula until it's a thick consistency and all flour has been absorbed.

    Step 3: Chilling Dough

    Next, fold in chocolate chips. Chill dough for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

    Step 4: Rolling into Balls

    After the dough has chilled, roll into balls and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

    Expert Tips

    • Roll balls out onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet or plate to avoid sticking. After they have chilled, transfer into a container.
    • Add sprinkles to make funfetti cookie dough balls!
    • Store in the freezer to keep them fresh for longer.
    • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling into balls so the dough doesn't stick to your hands.
    • Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to create even sized balls.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I make the dough ahead of time?

    Yes! You can make the dough ahead of time and roll them out when you're ready to serve.

    Do I have to use Vanilla Collagen?

    I would recommend you use vanilla collagen or vanilla protein powder because it adds to the flavor and texture of the cookie dough balls.

    Do I have to use coconut flour?

    I would not recommend swapping coconut flour for anything else. If you want to try almond flour, you will probably need more than what the recipe calls for. Coconut flour is very absorbent!

    How to store leftovers

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer!

    They will last about 5 days in the refrigerator, and up to 2 months in the freezer.
