First the wheel was invented, then the light bulb, and now this.

Cookie Dough 11

Clearly I have a lot of history to brush up on before next year, but this single serving cookie dough has been my saving grace.  Have you ever wanted to eat a giant bowl of cookie dough? I know, only all the time.

But alas! If only we could enjoy a ridiculously large portion of this forbidden cookie dough fruit without gaining 20 pounds and catching some rare disease and disappointing our mothers!

Well get ready for your life to change because NOW YOU CAN. It’s 85 calories, 3 minutes to make, and 1176% miraculous.

But how? Didn’t your mother say that traditional cookie dough was bad? A mother knows these things. She was right about not eating beans on a date and she is right about this. Luckily, we’re both right.

Just think that we used to ride around with square wheels, bump into things if we didn’t light a candle to get our midnight snack, and catch salmonella from said cookie dough midnight snack because my mother has never been wrong. (Everyone nod! She might be reading this!) This delicious, vegan, and completely safe-to-eat cookie dough has changed my life, and hopefully it will change yours too.

Start with putting some coconut flour in the cutest little jar you can find.

Cookie Dough 1

Add in some vanilla, sweetener, and applesauce (or banana… or butter mwahaha).

Cookie Dough 2

And stir it up so everything gets all cozy. Feel free to add more or less sweetener, but this will require taste testing. I know, it’s tough. The struggle is real.

Cookie Dough 3

Now stir in the almond milk ONE TABLESPOON AT A TIME. Sorry for shouting, but this seems to be the secret to taming the otherwise wild coconut flour.

Cookie Dough 4

Three tablespoons of almond milk gave me perfect cookie dough, but you may want to stop at two.

Cookie Dough 5

Get out the chocolate chips. Be still my heart.

Cookie Dough 6

Remember that you’re using these super healthy stevia chocolate chips and give yourself permission to accidentally spill too many of them. Right into the cookie dough. Oops.

Cookie Dough 7

Stir up the cookie dough and think about how darn easy that was.

Stop thinking and eat.

  5. Not a huge fan of coconut flour (everything I do with it comes out with this weird spongy-grainy texture), but I will give this a shot!

  6. Can I use cow's milk (whole milk) instead of Almond Milk? You are fabulous!...Really look forward to your easy-peasy yummy recipes. I, too, find coconut flour gives "mealy" texture...but its so healthy. I think the more I eat it, the more I will like it.

  7. So simple, quick, and it looks delicious! Can't wait to try it! I bet it would be even better if I added some of this: http://www.swansonvitamins.com/swanson-premium-whey-protein-powder-36-5-oz-1035-grams-pwdr <3 :-)

  9. Just tried this today! I'm kinda...meh on it. Maybe I had too much of high expectations. I think it's just missing the "granular" mouthfeel that regular cookie dough tends to provide, and I think the coconut flour is too fine to provide that. Do you have any recommendations to add that granular "feeling" - even if it comes with extra calories? Tastes pretty darn close, though! It's just the "feel" that feels off to me.

    • Hi Kayla! Thanks for giving this a try. Hmm. Did you use erythritol/sugar or stevia? Using a granular sweetener may help get that feeling. I know coconut flour has its own texture that takes some getting used to. Good luck!
      Reply

    • If calories don't matter to you then use granular sugar or you can use granular erythritol to cut out those calories. You can use coconut sugar if you'd prefer to avoid the white stuff. You'd probably want to use butter instead of the banana or applesauce if it ends up too sweet depending on how much extra granular sweetener you use to get the texture you want. Though you might be able to get some extra graininess out of home-made apple sauce as well.

      • Thank you for the solicitous suggestions, Erik! Hopefully these will help Kayla to fully enjoy this cookie dough:-)

    • This is a bit late but you could use almond meal instead of coconut flour as it is not as finely ground.

  10. This was amazing! I followed this to a T and used banana instead of applesauce and just a little drop of liquid stevia to sweeten it. It ended up being 130 calories with the banana, but totally worth it. <3

  11. I stumbled upon this recipe on Pinterest and immediately got up and made it right away. It is so good! And easy too! I'm eating it as I write this :)

  13. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum! Oh my goodness - you've done it again Kelly! Your make my list of to-make recipes sooooo long. Ah well it's ok, now I can make lots of desserts without having tons of calories, fat, and sugar ... score! :) Keep 'em coming. 1176% miraculous? Lol, yes! You are such a talented blogger. I look up to you so much -. What an inspiration for a young teen blogger! Love you girl!

  14. This is genius! I totally just inhaled this. YUM! Next time I'm going to omit the chocolate chips, stir in a tablespoon of rolled oats, a few raisins and some cinnamon to make oatmeal raisin cookie dough! The base can really be a blank slate! Thanks for your creativity!

  15. I just made this! I substituted pumpkin for the applesauce/ banana, added cinnamon, and used maple syrup. It was awesome!!!
    Reply

  17. Why yes. Yes I do. And now I'm torn between making these and making the coconut flour cookies! Though, to be fair, I generally eat half of the cookie mixture before baking them. Taste testing. And not just, you know, an utter lack of self control when faced with deliciousness.

  18. I have made this both ways with applesauce and banana and I really didn't enjoy it either way. I wish it had more of an actual cookie dough texture. I am big on textures in food and I just didn't like the mushiness of this one. Love the concept and it looks really good!
    Reply

    • Just made this recipe and I am not convinced. Maybe because I use organic coconut flour that is not as processed as milled coconut flour?? Try this recipe for cookie dough it's got a better consistency and taste in my opinion. I was looking for an alternative just to change things up a little but think I will be sticking to it from now on. http://www.girlgonecountry.com/recipes-2/cookie-dough-butter-primal-gluten-free-low-carb/

  19. First of all, this recipe (and the crepes) introduced me to almond milk, which I have since fallen in LOVE with and I owe you my life for. But I didn't have coconut flour, and using regular unbleached all purpose flour, this didn't quite set up after two attempts. It was still overly liquid-y before I even got the chance to add the milk. I've never used coconut flour before. Is the texture extremely different or something? I LOVE your blog, by the way. I'm a very passive teenage foodie, and I've almost lived off your recipes for the last month or so (I think I'm driving my mom crazy by hogging up the kitchen.) I relate to everything you write on all levels. Keep on being AMAZING!

  20. Can you use whole wheat flour? I don't have any coconut flour but I want to try this right away! Would you use the same amount of whole wheat flour or would you need to use more?
    Reply

    • I'm so glad you're eager to try this recipe, Jennifer! However, coconut flour is so wonderfully unique that I would not recommend subbing anything else for it! But if you wanted to give the wheat flour a whirl while you wait for an opportunity to purchase the flour, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt :-)

  21. This was ahhhmazing! Exactly what I was looking for. Definitely have a post-dinner sweet tooth and have been making a Greek yogurt peanut butter cookie dough I found on Pinterest. But I eat so much Greek yogurt to begin with, I was hoping to find something else. I used an overripe banana, cut the sweetener, and added coarse ground sea salt...perfection.

    • I'm so happy that you enjoyed this dish, Laura! I know exactly what recipe you're talking about; it is delicious but can get a bit tiresome when Greek yogurt is your snacking standard. If you're ever feeling a little adventurous, you can take your post-dinner cookie dough to the next level by making this Healthy XL Single Serving Chocolate Chip Cookie: https://www.foodiefiasco.com/single-serving-chocolate-chip-cookie/!

  22. I love this! I didn't use chocolate chips, but I used a little more honey. It turned into the best breakfast ever! I am going to have this every morning. Thank you for sharing! Btw, perfect after a winter morning run.

    • Thanks for stirring up this cookie dough, Kristen! I'm glad that you enjoyed it enough to make it a part of your morning routine:-)

    • Thanks for commenting, Alicia! Sadly, the properties that make coconut flour so magical are also what makes it nearly impossible(while still being edible) to substitute. You could try using almond flour, but there's no guarantees! If you happen to find a fix that works; please let us know:-)

      • I just made this with just plain gluten free flour because I didn't want to run to the store and it is pretty good! I cant wait to try it with coconut flour! hit the exact craving I was having!

  25. Hi, I just tried out your recipe. Usually I don't like coconut very much, but it turned out really nice and I like the texture of the coconut flour here. Assembling the ingredients was a bit tough: Here in Germany finding coconut flour was not easy, I had to go to a vitality-store ("Vitalia"). Also the unsweetened applesauce I couldn't find, but I made it myself from fresh apples. While making this recipe a "happy little accident" happened: I freezed my applesauce because I wanted to store it, so I used the microwave to thaw it. Because of the now warm applesauce the chocolate chips melted and I had chocolate cookie dough! Delicious! :D Anyway, thanks a lot for your efforts. I also tried some of your other recipes (the Snickerdoodle was reeeeeally good) and I will continue to follow you! Thanks for making life so much easier by providing guilt-free recipes for my chocolate cravings :)

  26. this was exactly what i was looking for. i didnt have coconut flour so i went to the supermarket and couldnt find any and went ahead and bought all purpose flour...thinking i was not going to like it because you are supposed to use coconut flour. i made it minus the milk (with all purpose flour you dont need the milk). i really REALLY loved it! i do NOT recommend using all purpose flour seriously get the coconut flour, but OMG this stuff is great and i cant wait until i can go next town to the whole foods for the coconut flour... i know it will be much better once i get that. Thank You so much for your recipe. i eat this every day now, it is something on my diet that makes me feel a lot less deprived!

  29. Wowza! I used applesauce, no sweetner, and Enjoy Life mini chips. Pretty good. But then....I zapped that mug for 30 seconds in the microwave, and it was all I could do to not eat it all in one bite. Thanks for your creation! I have a feeling I'll be doing this again....soon!

  32. I tried this a few ways. Both the banana and the applesauce seem to add too much of their own taste for me so I actually tried using mashed avocado instead and I really like how it turned out! Avocado has a more neutral taste so it worked well for me :) Thanks for the recipe!

  33. This was amazing! I put in just a smidge of cinnamon and it was PERFECT. I love how light and fresh it tastes from using almond milk and applesauce. Thank you for posting this. <3

  34. Oh my goodness, so good! I used maple syrup as my sweetener, and coconut oil instead of the applesauce, and it turned out beautifully. Just enough to not feel as sick as I would if this was a larger portion. Great recipe!

  37. I am absolutely addicted, to ANYTHING related to cookie dough However, I've been looking for a healthier alternative, and when I stumbled upon this recipe on you absolutely amazing blog :), I KNEW I had to make it. I just finished it up and it was.....too wonderful. I used a funny mix of applesauce and banana (store bought) and it gave the cookie dough a slightly funny, yet delicious and sweet taste. At first I was hesitant about the coconut flour but just a few more spoonfulls...and I'm obsessed. Thank you for this recipe <3

  38. Love it, been gluten free for a while and haven't been able to find a quick late night snack. I used cashew and almond butter in place of the banana, and a mix of honey and trivia for my sugars, and it is absolutely delicious .

  39. Hi Kelly and everyone at Foodie Fiasco! I just discovered your blog, everything is amazing :) I was just wondering, in the cookie dough recipe. I don't have liquid stevia drops, only granulated stevia, so just want to know if it would be OK to use it in the recipe instead? Or would the dough end up being more crumbly? Thanks :)

  40. I made it today and it's great, but I definitely might try cane sugar instead of coconut--although the coconut probably made the calories lower. The consistency was divine! I was expecting it to be sweeter, but the beauty is that it's as sweet as you want it to be!
    Reply

    • Thank you so much for making this! Definitely play around with the sweetener, as everyone has different preferences and, like you said, the beauty is that you can adjust to your own tastes. :) Also I love your name!

  2. […] Single Serving Cookie Dough – I am the type of person who loves cookie dough, even though raw egg is really bad for you. But I also don’t like to make a whole batch when I’m only craving a little bit. This is the perfect solution! It’s single serving (although, easily doubled just in case you had a really rough day), and there is no egg! It uses apple sauce, so it’s healthy too. The perfect treat! […]
