This Healthy Vegan Cookie Dough is the perfect sweet treat! And no worries about consuming raw ingredients here – this is made with 100% plant-based foods!
Hello, everyone! I am so so SO excited to share this recipe with you today, because it’s probably one of my most favorite things I’ve ever made. Inspired by rockstar instagrammers such as Rawlishious and Blendlove, makers of insanely dreamy vegan treats, I set out to make a treat that was like biting into a raw chunk of cookie dough! And I did!!
To be honest, I felt really accomplished after making these healthy vegan cookie dough slices, because I am not the most confident maker of sweet treats. My baking skills are sub-par at best; I hate that you can’t tweak ratios and ingredients in baking recipes like you can in their savory counterparts. Everything has to be so. exact. And there’s nothing wrong with that per se, but I’d consider myself to be a “free spirit” in the kitchen (i.e. a pinch of this, a pinch of that), unhindered by exacting measurements. (I wonder what that says about my personality?) But that’s where raw vegan desserts come in. There’s no baking (only dehydrating, if anything), and you have a lot of leeway when it comes to measurements. Add half a chocolate bar or a whole one, it won’t make a difference. (But obviously you’d want the whole chocolate bar!)
The point is, this healthy vegan cookie dough is a very forgiving recipe. But most importantly, it’s insanely delicious. I taste-tested them on three non-vegan dudes, who all LOVED them. I brought up my plate full of raw cookie dough to my friend’s apartment, and by the time I had to go, there was only one left! Ohhh boys.
