Who says you can't have cookie dough for breakfast?!?!?
Or lunch or dinner or for a snack I love cookies, cookie dough, you know all the things! This cookie dough is not only safe to eat it is high in protein, packing a whopping 13 grams to help keep you full longer. And unlike other edible cookie dough recipes on the internet, this one is low-fat.
Why do I need to make this cookie dough for eating instead of regular cookie dough?
It's been said that flour and eggs can potentially contain harmful bacteria that can make you sick. We don't want that! This recipe is safe to eat because it doesn't contain either of those ingredients. Raw flour needs to heat treated in the oven to kill any potential harmful bacteria before it is considered safe for consumption. And if I'm going to go to all that trouble, I might as well bake actual cookies right? Now, that being said, I have eaten raw cookie dough, cake batter and all kinds of other unbaked goodies with raw flour and eggs and haven't died yet, so there's that. But now that I know there are better, healthier option that I can eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner? SIGN ME UP!!!
Do I need any special or weird ingredients to make this recipe?
NO! I wanted to make sure that this recipe had ingredients that were commonly known, don't taste weird and readily available in the grocery stores and/or online. Probably the only thing that most people don't already have in their pantry is the almond protein powder. I buy in my local Walmart on the peanut butter isle. But you can also find it online at varies places like Amazon.
How can this recipe have such a smooth and creamy taste WITHOUT flour?
ALMOND PROTIEN POWEDER!!!!! When I was experimenting with different ingredients for this recipe I tried several different bases before I settled on almond protein powder. Oat flour was just too gritty, and quick oat that I use for my cookie dough protein bars needs time to absorb the liquids to produce a cookie dough texture, and that usually takes several hours, making them not a good option for an "eat it now" recipe. Then I remembered I had some Barney's Almond Butter Powder in my cabinet and that was just the right ingredient! It produces a smooth, creamy texture that you are familiar with. I love this almond powder because it doesn't contain any weird ingredients. It's just simply made from blanched almonds.
Can I actually bake cookies with this dough?
No. This recipe is for eating only. Traditional cookie doughs contain eggs and other ingredients that make them suitable for baking.
