Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites {Vegan & Paleo Friendly | Delish Dish}

Everyone who knows me knows I have a serious cookie problem, and not just any cookie problem but a chocolate chip cookie problem. Like, for real, one year I had 4 different friends make me chocolate chip cookies for my birthday–this is how much everyone who knows me, knows I love chocolate chip cookies. So, when I found out processed sugar and wheat kinda make my body go insane I HAD to find a solution.

I then discovered a vegan/raw friendly cookie dough bite from Whole Foods, but it was $5 for 8 cookies, totally not sustainable for my cookie problem. I checked out the ingredients and decided I could TOTALLY make those!

One night I stayed up late and found the perfect mixture for these chocolate chip cookie dough bites, that have no gluten, no processed sugar and are vegan and paleo friendly! Hooray!

You can halve this batch if you don’t want a million of these laying around, but obviously I need a big batch to last me more than two days…I know, like I said I have a problem.
