Double Chocolate Chip Vegan Cookie Dough

 

These cookie dough balls are also gluten-free!

I have been enjoying store-bought EDIBLE cookie dough seeing that real cookie dough is not safe to eat.

It’s expensive. And just all sugar. I’m going to eat it anyways so I figured I’d try my own and add at least something redeeming about it. <— besides the serotonin in my brain factor.

This recipe incorporates my favorite chocolate superfood so it worked perfectly as the chocolate flavor of the dough.

And then add more chocolate with the chips and it was a serious sweet tooth cure!

As always I use everything organic if possible but you can use what you have. I don’t write organic by everything because it’s not necessary and gets repetitive.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup + 2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
