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 🙂

All about the balls/bites/….things? haha
I have a tonne of more no bake recipes to share and two weeks ago, I was telling my friends I want to lose the ‘no bake boy’ title. FML.
HI FROM YOUR CITY!
Hope you’re slowly getting past the jet lag! I say you’re on a roll with the no bake and should go with it 🙂
I love these! I’ll have to try making these dough balls myself!
I think the Paleo diet is great. I am seeing and feeling the benefits of the diet for a long time now. Not only have I lost weight, but I feel much more energised, and much better in myself. I think the reason is that whilst the paleo diet may be a diet, I do actually eat much much varied food than I did previously. All I’ve done is taken out the stodge that my body finds hard to digest, and added more types of fruit, veg, and indeed meat.
I’ve now actually taken an interest in cooking paleo meals, which I can guarentee is 100% better than throwing some ready meals in the oven like I used to.
I’m just reviewed a cookbook that shows exactly this: http://cookbook-reviews.net/review-the-paleo-recipe-book/
These look awesome! I’m late to most games, I just got obsessed with Larabars. These look like mini Larabars, soI definitely need to try them out!
Larabars save me for quick after school snacks, and now things like this are great too 🙂
You can never go wrong with balls. Hope you’re enjoying your weekend.
don’t I know that! and i have tons of ball jokes and recipe for you michele. I’m sure meghan and add to it. But seriously, these look delish… 😉
Thanks! The jokes are required for every recipe I think, it’s too easy 😉
this may be a little off topic but did I read correctly that you are encouraging your son to choose barbie branded gear? That seems like a recipe for cruelty. I am curious about the backstory on that one.
No back story really except he has a pretty intense love for dolls and princesses. His 2 older sisters might have something to do with it, but, either way, it’s not really something to be messed with 🙂
There is certainly a great deal to know about this topic.
I love all of the points you have made.
