As a kid, the best part of baking wasn’t the hot, out of the oven chocolate chip cookies, it was sneaking the raw cookie dough batter from the beaters or spatula. The risk of salmonella didn’t bother little me, and I was happier eating cookie dough than cookies. As an adult, I still think the cookie dough is the best part, that’s why I made this recipe for Chickpea Cookie Dough, an edible cookie dough dip that is perfect for apples, biscuits, spoons, or on top of your morning porridge.
This recipe comes together in a flash, and is made entirely in a blender or food processor. It is perfectly sweetened with a touch of honey (or maple to make it vegan), and the secret ingredient is a bit of baking soda – trust me, it takes it from sweet hummus to cookie dough, real quick.
Unlike peanut butter, using cashew butter in this recipe for Edible Chickpea Cookie Dough Dip helps keep the flavor buttery and neutral instead of masking the vanilla flavor.
I’m low key obsessed with this recipe – next up? I want to try and roll it into balls and make edible chickpea cookie dough truffles – genius, right?!
I like adding in mini bittersweet chocolate chips, making sure that each dip gets its fair share of chocolatey goodness, but feel free to add in your fave type of chocolate, or go crazy and add in chopped nuts, seeds, or dried fruit.
