No-Bake Edible Cookie Dough That Is Paleo and Dairy- and Gluten-Free

Using Paleo-friendly ingredients, our friends at PaleoHacks created a delicious and risk-free edible cookie dough.

As a kid, I was obsessed with eating raw cookie dough. Every time my Mom made cookies, I would sneak spoonfuls of it when she wasn't looking. My brother and I would fight over who got to lick the spatula. I'm sure I ate more cookie dough back then than real cookies, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't that way even to this day. What can I say? Some habits don't die.

So instead of breaking the habit, I transformed it into a healthy, edible cookie dough snack! A snack that's wildly delicious, unimaginably simple, and packed with protein and healthy fat. A no-bake snack that's healthy and that anyone can feel good about eating!

You only need a little protein powder, cashew butter and coconut milk to make this. I love the creamy, buttery consistency of cashew butter, but you can definitely use another nut butter if you like. Coconut butter would work too!

For the protein powder, I highly recommend you use one you really love. If you don't love it on its own, then you won't like it in this cookie dough. I used a plant-based vanilla protein powder for this one. Check out this post if you need help finding a quality, Paleo-friendly protein powder.

To make this cookie dough, just stir the ingredients together and you've got a mouthful of luscious and silky cookie dough. I suggest refrigerating it 15 minutes prior to eating to let the cookie dough flavors marry and the texture to firm up.

I topped my cookie dough with chia seeds and dairy-free chocolate chips. Those are optional toppings, but highly recommended! You can also try topping it with fresh fruit like strawberries and raspberries!
