Cookie Dough Bites are a quick and easy no bake recipe that is gluten-free, low carb, and utterly delicious. They're perfect for an after dinner snack, late night dessert, or a quick fix for your sweet tooth.

Why You'll Love It

Fast. Not including the chill time, you can make these tasty cookie dough bites in under 30 minutes.
No Cook. Unlike some other cookie dough bites recipes, you do not need to heat treat the flour that goes into this dough.
Low Carb. Only 2 net carbs per serving!
Gluten Free. Substituting all-purpose flour with almond flour makes this recipe not only low carb and keto but also gluten free.

Traditionally, cookie dough is not safe to consume unbaked. Not only does it contain raw eggs, but it also contains raw flour that can contain high levels of bacteria if not heat treated.

This recipe, however, uses almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. Almond flour does not need to be heat treated the same way all-purpose flour does, so you can make this low carb cookie dough bite recipe without ever turning on the oven. It also omits the eggs since they are not needed to help the cookie dough bites bind and rise.

A low carb dessert with only 6 ingredients? No, it's not too good to be true. Make sure you grab these items before you get started:

Superfine Almond Flour- Using almond flour instead of all purpose flour in this recipe eliminates the need to heat treat your flour for truly edible cookie dough.
Kosher Salt- There's no more perfect pair than sweet and salty.
Butter- This should be at room temperature to make it easier to combine with the other ingredients. Do not melt the butter, or the batter will be too runny to form into balls.
Truvia- A low carb substitute for granulated or brown sugar that tastes just like the real thing!
vanilla extract- Enhances the other sweet flavors in the recipe.
Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips- You can buy Lily's chocolate chips, or you can save a little money and make low carb chocolate chips at home.

If you can make cookies, you can make cookie dough bites! They take just a handful of simple steps and are almost impossible to mess up if you follow the instructions below:

In a large bowl, mix together softened butter, Truvia, and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, mix together almond flour and salt.
Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
Once the batter is combined, fold in the low carb chocolate chips.
Use a spoon or small ice cream scoop to help your portion and create the cookie bites.
Place the formed balls on parchment paper on a baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.

Tips And Variations

These cookie dough bites are perfect just the way they are, but sometimes it's nice to mix up the flavors and textures of your fat bombs to keep them exciting.

Here are a few variations for you to try:

Add nuts. Mix some finely diced pecans or walnuts in the cookie dough bite batter for an added crunch.
Boost the chocolate. For an even bigger chocolate punch, add some keto-friendly dark cocoa powder before mixing up your batter.
Add peanut butter. Add a surprise middle to keto peanut butter bites by chilling small spoonfuls of peanut butter and stuffing them inside of the cookie dough balls when you roll them.

How Long Do They Last?

I don't know about you, but having the right treats available when the craving for something sweet strikes has been one of my keys to success with maintaining a low carb way of eating. These keto cookie dough bites are the perfect snack to keep in the refrigerator for those exact moments.

When stored in an airtight container, you can expect this edible cookie dough to last up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

If you're wanting to double the recipe to freeze some for later, they also freeze and defrost extremely well.

When stored in a freezer-safe container, these cookie dough balls will last up to 3 months.

To defrost and enjoy, just place the frozen balls in your refrigerator until soft, or on your kitchen counter if you're wanting your snack a little sooner. Just be warned that if you leave them out to defrost, the chocolate chips may become a little melty when you dig in.
