Why I Created This Recipe

This recipe was accidentally created while I was thinking of ways to get rid of the dry and crumbly nut butter at the bottom of the jar. I usually blend the dried up nut/ seed butter into my smoothie or add them in the overnight oats. But I was looking for a more interesting and creative way to do so. Therefore, I made this double chocolate vegan cookie dough for the sake of salvaging the dry jar of nut/ seed butter. Luckily, the outcome is unexpectedly good and addictive, so I can’t wait to share this recipe with you all! 🍪

Quick, Simple & Nutritious Dessert

High Protein

As the major ingredients of this cookie dough are chickpeas and nut butter, it is naturally high in protein without adding any protein powder.

No Added Sugar

This recipe is naturally sweetened with medjool dates. But you can always add your choice of sweetener such as maple syrup or agave syrup.

Oil Free

I made this recipe very often as I just love having it as snacks. Moreover, this cookie dough is creamy, decadent and delectable thanks to the nut butter. You can use whatever nut butter you have on hand. After experimenting it with different nut/ seed butter, I found that tahini and peanut butter work best. As usual, feel free to substitute your choice of nut/ seed butter or even vegan butter if you wish!

Serving Suggestions

This double chocolate cookie dough works great in many ways. For example, as a spread on sourdough toasts, a topping on your smoothie bowls or steel cut oats. If you are feeling fancy, place one scoop between a cinnamon roll or babka roll. Then, you have made yourself a deluxe vegan cookie dough sandwich! ☺️🙌🏻
