Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites {THM-S}

Have I mentioned before that I love cookie dough?  Oh, that was just yesterday?  Sorry.  But I really do love cookie dough.  Pretty much any flavor really.  Seriously, if there was a way to eat cookie dough every day of my life and not gain weight, I would totally be in!  I came up with a great way to get my peanut butter cookie dough fix AND lose weight!  These little bite sized goodies are packed with protein and they are oh-so-good.  And can we say easy peasy?

Start by combining 1/4 cup almond flour (ground fine), 1/4 cup protein powder in a bowl.  Top that with 1/4 cup natural peanut butter.

Stir this mixture together until crumbly and well combined.

Add enough water to make a nice thick cookie dough consistency.  It should look something like this.

Chop up 1/2 oz. of dark chocolate and stir that into the dough.  If you want a plain peanut butter cookie dough, go ahead and leave the chocolate out.

Scoop about 2 teaspoons worth of dough out and roll into a ball.  Repeat with remaining dough.

Refrigerate until firm.  Store these little treats in the refrigerator or they will get super soft on you.

 

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites {THM-S}

• 1/4 cup almond flour, ground fine
• 1/4 cup protein powder
• 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
• Water, as needed
• 1/2 oz. dark chocolate, chopped

Combine almond flour, protein powder and peanut butter in a bowl until well combined.  Mixture will be crumbly.  Add enough water to form a cookie dough consistency – the dough should hold together when you squeeze it.  Stir in chopped chocolate.  Form into balls – about 2 teaspoons of dough per ball – and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Store in refrigerator.
