4 Ingredient Raw Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites

Yields: Approximately 18 cookie bites (1/2 tbsp portions)

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 Medjool Dates, pitted and chopped

  • 1/2 cup Cashews

  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt

  • 1/4 cup Mini Chocolate Chips (To make the recipe Raw, use Cacao nibs. To make the recipe vegan, I like these Enjoy Life dairy-free, soy-free, vegan mini chocolate chips, and if you can tolerate dairy, feel free to use your favorite chocolate chips as long as they are small --bigger chocolate chips will only work if you make the bites bigger than the 1/2 tbsp serving)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place dates, cashews and sea salt in a food processor fitted with an S blade

  2. Process until it reaches a dough-like consistency

  3. Transfer dough mixture into a medium bowl and add the chocolate chips

  4. Mix well with your hands

  5. Roll into balls (1/2 tbsp each) and place onto a baking sheet or parchment paper

  6. Place in the freezer for at least 20 minutes or refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving

VARIATIONS

  • Stick a toothpick in each cookie bite for an easy-to-pick-up version

  • Instead of rolling them into balls, flatten dough with your hands or a rolling pin and cut dough into rectangular bars. Wrap individually in saran wrap for a portable snack.
