Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites (oil-free + vegan)

Welcome to day two of cookie challenge! Yesterday's recipe was chai spice cookies, which you can find here. Today is totally different - chocolate chip cookie dough bites! This are sooooo good y'all. Plus there's only six simple, pretty healthy ingredients. Let's dive right in!

These cookie bites have a base like raw granola (which I recommend looking at) - dates and oats. The other four ingredients are syrup, brown sugar, plant milk, and chocolate chips (duh). AKA, these aren't too bad for you.

90% of this is made in a food processor, which makes the prep time no problem at all. The only thing that really takes much time is the cooling process, which I recommend doing over night.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites

Makes 10-12 bites

Ingredients

• About 12 pitted dates
• 1/2 cup of rolled oats
• 3 Tbs maple syrup
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 Tbs plant milk
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Directions

1. In a food processor, pulse together the dates and rolled oats until combined and slightly sticky. Then blend in the syrup to smooth out the texture.
2. Blend in the brown sugar and milk, scraping down the sides as needed. It will be thick and sticky.
3. Remove the mixture from the food processor and place in a small mixing bowl. Then use a beater or wooden spoon to mix in the chocolate chips.
4. Roll the dough into bite sizes, about 1.5 Tbs each, and place on a small cookie tray. Chill in the fridge for at least three hours (overnight would be great!). 
5. Once the bites are chilled, store them in the fridge or freezer until serving. Enjoy!!
