Chocolate chip cookie dough balls {Gluten-free}

Chocolatechipcookiedoughballs

I’m excited to share my first recipe here in awhile, and this is just the first of many! I’ve had so much fun experimenting with gluten-free baking over the summer, and have an awesome gluten-free chocolate chip recipe to share with you soon. But for now these will have to tide you over.

There’s just something about chocolate chip cookie dough, isn’t there? Experience has told me I’m not the only one who can’t keep her hands out of the batter while making chocolate chip cookies. My family pretty much prefers cookie dough to the actual cookies. And while that used to be me as well, I’ve found I’m just as into the chewy, gooey cookie itself. A little crispy on the outside, and all melty on the inside…..all warm straight from the oven.

So when I set about making these cookie dough balls, I wanted them to be gluten-free and low in sugar so they fit in with the Daniel Plan. I also wanted them to be healthy, and taste as much like chocolate chip cookie dough as they could. I’m not bragging, but these cookie dough balls are a hit wherever I take them. In fact, I’m always asked for the recipe. Friends have texted me on their way to the store just to find out which ingredients to buy. They are that good! They taste best when frozen (or at least refrigerated), but you’ll find it hard to keep your hands out of the bowl.

Which do you prefer….the cookie or the dough?
