A little life update on me for those who asked. I usually don't share much about my personal life because I know you're here for the recipes. If you follow me on Instagram you know that I have a foster daughter. She's actually my niece and was placed in our care 5 months ago, when she was 3 months old. Since then we have gone through all the foster training classes and had many house visits from a social worker to be approved to be her official foster parents. All that is done now and we are waiting on the paperwork to be processed. While these last 5 months have had their challenges, they have also been so rewarding! Caring for this sweet little girl who we absolutely love is a complete joy and we feel so fulfilled doing it.
Now about this cookie dough...
I think everyone is guilty of eating cookie dough straight from the bowl. I know I've eaten my fair share of dough before it went in the oven! I've been wanting to make a healthy, paleo version of cookie dough that is meant to be eaten raw. I tried a few different types, using different flours and sweeteners and this one came out the best--by far! It has the exact same texture as cookie dough and the maple syrup gives it the sweetness that is key.
It is so easy to make, just a couple minutes of stirring and it's ready to eat. I's kind of crazy to think that these few ingredients could combine to make something that tastes exactly like cookie dough, but it's true! I could not quit taking bites as I was making it and was so amazed how delicious it was. My husband said it's dangerous to keep around because it's just too good to stop at a reasonable amount 😉
The gelatin may seem like a weird ingredient for cookie dough, but it helps thicken it in the fridge. It also adds some health benefits like healthy skin, bones, and hair- just to name a few. I always buy my gelatin from Perfect Supplements. It's high quality, tasteless and a great price. Use code "JAY10" for 10% off your order!
You will love this edible cookie dough because it is so quick to make, is naturally sweetened, and is seriously delicious! Gluten free, dairy free, and the perfect treat when you don't want to bake!

I was recently diagnosed with Celiacs and I would love to win this book. There is so much information I need to learn and I would love to have my own reference guide.Thanks for the opportunity
Magen says
In the ingredients you have listed almond milk, but in the instructions it says cashew milk. Can you clarify for me, please? I just want to make sure I use the correct items. Thank you so much! I can’t wait to make this!!!
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks for catching that, Megan. Either will work, but I usually use almond. It's fixed now. Hope you try it!
Sharon says
Anything I can substitute for the gelatin?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Sharon- you can just leave it out, it just wont be as thick.
Inna says
Hi is there anything I can replace the maple syrup with? Is it for sweetness? Or texture?
Thank you,
Inna
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Inna- it's for sweetness so you can use honey or possibly coconut sugar. You may need a little more liquid if you use the sugar though. I hope you enjoy!
Jamie says
Did you perhaps mean 2 teaspoons of gelatin? (Instead of tablespoons). I just made this and it's much more jello like than the picture and tastes like cashew chocolate jello. Not quite what I was going for lol
Jessica DeMay says
Oh no! I'm sorry, Jamie! It is in fact tablespoons, but if you feel like it's too much then decrease it next time.
Jamie says
Ya, the chocolate chips just fell out, and when you pushed on it, it bounced back to the same shape. I think next time I'll just leave it out. I ended up throwing it out, which really bummed me out since it was like $4 worth of cashew butter 🙁
Jessica DeMay says
Oh no! That is bad! I'm so sorry!
Crystal says
The link to the type of gelatin doesn't work. Can you tell me what it is? I have the kind that
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Crystal- sorry the link isn't working. I use Great Lakes Gelatin, the orange or red jar. I buy it from Thrive Market:http://go.thrv.me/aff_c?offer_id=6&aff_id=14301
Let me know if you have any other questions.
