Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (for One)

If you've been following me for a while, you may have picked up on the fact that I'm a huge fan of tiny, single serving desserts (like my Almond Cinnamon Crunch, No Bake Cinnamon CookieMini Coconut Dessert, and Toasted Pecan Dessert).

I'm also a fan of anything cookie dough (like these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls).

Back in my early twenties when my diet was out of whack, I had frequent, intense sugar cravings and the amount of sugary foods that I was able to consume in one sitting was alarming.

As I've improved my diet over the years to include more whole foods, more veggies, and less sugar, I've noticed that I don't crave sugar as often and I only need a small amount to scratch the itch.

This dessert recipe has turned into one of my favorites. It's TINY and you'll finish it in a couple of bites, but it will satisfy your desire for something sweet and indulgent.

It contains healthy fats to satisfy your cravings and is low in sugar so it won't trigger an all out sugar binge.

This past February, I ate it almost every night for the entire month as my post-dinner dessert to signify the end of my eating for the night.

(And then I ran out of almond flour 😩)

Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think!
