Not only are these paleo cookie dough balls delicious, but they are also really easy to make. You can whip up a batch in probably 5-10 minutes.
The other day I was making some chocolate chip cookies and, like most people, I snuck a couple bites of the cookie dough. Why is it that the cookie dough is always better than the cookie?
Even though there are quite a few ingredients in cookies, there doesn’t have to be in a simple cookie dough that you’re not intending to bake. So, I made this recipe up so the paleos and vegans can enjoy a tasty cookie dough without any grains, dairy or eggs!
Paleo Cookie Dough Balls:
Makes about 10 small dough balls
1/2 cup coconut butter (I like this brand)
2 tbsp almond butter (how to make your own)
1 tsp raw honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup chocolate chips (I like this vegan soy-free brand)
1. Combine coconut butter, almond butter and honey in a bowl and mash together with a fork until all the ingredients are combined and you have a dough-like consistency.
2. Add the chocolate chips and mix well.
3. Form small spoonfuls of the dough into balls. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to harden. Enjoy them as they are, or add them to this dairy-free ice cream to make cookie dough ice cream…my favorite!

These look wonderful! I’m going to make these today, I’ve been craving something sweet, but don’t have much time to bake with a clingy baby! Thanks! ^_^
Thanks! Hope you enjoy them 🙂
Can I use Coconut cream Concentrate (Tropical Traditions) as a substitute for the coconut butter?
I very much doubt that coconut cream concentrate would work. Coconut butter is more similar to coconut oil then it is to coconut cream. It is solid at most room temperatures and definitely after being refrigerated. You can make your own similar to the way you make nut butters, except you just unsweetened flaked or shredded coconut and blend until it is a liquid (you can always google it for more precise instructions). My only comment on this method is that Bob’s Red Mill brand coconut flakes do not work and will never turn into coconut butter no matter how much you blend them.
The Tropical Tradition’s coconut cream concentrate is just their fancy name for coconut butter. Awesome stuff!
I just finally got around to making these yesterday! Amazingly easy and yummy! I made another batch today and added an extra tablespoon of almond butter. I prefer them that way…but gee! THANKS for this amazing idea for a great quick snack! 🙂
Hi! I wish mine came out like the photo 🙁 The batch I made came out very runny. I doubled the recipe so perhaps I should’ve made a batch at a time(?) Also I see now that my almond butter says “creamy.” Maybe when they get cold they’ll harden to something. Next time I’ll try the exact brands you recommend. Thanks!
