Super easy, tasty, healthy, and quick no bake chocolate chip cookies dough bites will be your new favorite snack to whip up anytime! They’re paleo and vegan, kid friendly, portable, and have just 6 ingredients. The result tastes just like chocolate chip cookie dough, but is actually good for you!
Balls are all over the internet right? I’m so behind in my no-bake-ball-game but I’m catching up and breaking out of my rut with these no bake raisin chocolate chip cookie dough bites. Yeah, I called them “bites” in the title but now that we’re past formalities let’s just be real and call them balls. Dang tasty balls, at that. You heard me – easy, tasty, paleo, chocolate-y, almond-butter-y, promise to hit-the-spot balls.
With every ounce of serious in my being though, after the first bite I, the kids and Adam became addicted to these and 2 batches didn’t last more than a couple of days. That means I really do have to up my game, make more of them, and figure out some new combos too.
I guess what I’m trying to say is 1) I can’t resist making balls jokes on the internet 2) honestly, who can? and 3) you want these balls in your mouth ASAP. Within 10 minutes, that can be your reality. Don’t hesitate, the recipe is super easy 🙂
Lastly I have to thank my two big sources of inspiration for these – Amanda and Arman, because they are 100% awesome no-bake-ball-making rockstars. They make tons of other healthy and delicious things too, so go check them out if you’re not already obsessed 🙂
I used finely ground hazelnut flour for these but almond flour would be fine too, I doubt you can go wrong, this is a very forgiving recipe! Which is the best kind of recipe in my opinion, because of my impatience and trouble focusing, but now we’re getting off topic. It’s Friday and although you might not NEED these balls to brighten your day, they certainly won’t hurt, so give ’em a whirl!
This weekend (yes now I’m changing the subject back to MY life. My blog after all. I’m being awkward not b*tchy FYI) we are doing a big Toys R Us trip on Saturday to get Drew is first bike plus he’s super excited to pick out a new Barbie Doll. I’m not entirely sure we won’t come home with a Barbie doll and a Barbie bike for him, in fact I’m thinking this WILL in fact be the case.
After that we have family dinner plans, and, an even bigger Sunday. Diana is performing with her dance team at Six Flags (the reason the LI half didn’t work, I’m over it at this point. Mostly.) and we’ll be making a day of it and taking advantage as much as we can. I haven’t been there since some time in college but apparently they have a lot of rides and other things for little kids, so we’re all excited for it, because, let’s face it, we need the excuse to step out of our typical Sunday routine 🙂

What are you up to this weekend?
What’s your favorite no bake treat?
*Bonus points if it’s balls
** Double bonus if you can make an inappropriate balls joke to go along with it
I want to lick your balls. There. BOOM.
I like the use of hazelnut flour–I bet it gives it a certain extra boost, flavor wise. Good luck to Diana this weekend!
Perfect first comment! And yes hazelnut flour is a good one 🙂
I love posting these recipes but the word balls just makes me cringe. Great recipe! Hope you have a good weekend!
I know, it’s like you have to openly discuss the cringe-iness of it! Have a great weekend 🙂
I love this date-free version… I do the date/nut blended ball a lot and am ready to mix it up- yum!!
Yay for jumping on the ball bandwagon! I love balls in my mouth 😉 In all seriousness, though, balls/bites are definitely my favourite no-bake treats. I love how easy they are, and the combo of ingredients is just killer… especially when almond butter is involved 😉
Yup, so easy that I actually make them when I saw I will 🙂 No wonder balls are everywhere!
Love it! I always say I am a middle schooler at heart. Never can pass up a good weiner joke either, which have been plentiful as of late because I have been doing my fair share of time working the baseball snack bar, where we serve weiners. I’ll just leave it there.
Can’t pass up a laugh where there’s an obvious one!
And I can’t wait to try your balls:)
They won’t disappoint!
First Chris Farley references and now double entendre, I think I may be falling in love with you, and it’s not just for your balls.
But if it were I’d understand 😉
Now those look like some tasty balls
I am giggling but on a more serious note thanks for sharing! I need to make some balls to snack on 🙂
Such an easy snack, and of course, tasty 🙂 Hope you try!
Maybe I’m just not meant to ever make no-bakes. I think I’m programmed to make more complicated things, haha! BUT they always look so good and I love that you used hazelnut flour <3
I’m still working on my no bake creativity that’s for sure! I think it takes a lot of experimenting. And hazelnut flour is great 🙂
Nice balls. We are totally on the no bake bandwagon, can’t wait to try these! And we love the Enjoy Life products – (they are super allergen friendly)!
No bake and no food processor makes is very easy 🙂 Enjoy life is great!
