Cacao Covered Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bon Bons…that’s a mouthful to say!
Think bite-sized peanut butter cups, but made with only wholesome ingredients!
The inspiration for this recipes comes from Minimalist Baker, where she churns cookie dough into ice cream! Can’t wait to try that one out!
I substituted coconut flour for the regular flour and maple syrup for the sugar, but use whichever ingredients you fancy! Instead of mixing the dough into ice cream, I covered them with magic-shell cacao sauce. If you don’t have raw cacao powder you can use cocoa powder or coat with melted chocolate chips instead! (However, raw cacao does contain higher levels of minerals and antioxidants!)
These little bon bons are minimally sweet. If you are looking for a more sugary treat add another tablespoon of maple syrup to the mix. You just may need to add a little extra coconut flour to compensate for the texture. You want to be able to easily roll the cookie dough into balls.
