Why I Love This Recipe
- Unlike traditional cookie dough, this recipe does not contain any raw eggs.
- This recipe is naturally dairy free, gluten free, soy free, grain free and egg free.
- This gluten free chocolate chip cookie dough recipe can be made as is or you can jazz it up by adding in your favorite sprinkles.
- I love this recipe so much that we sometimes have it on my Pittsburgh based meal prep company menu.
Simple Ingredients
- Almond flour- I like using almond flour for this recipe because it is dense and holds up well. It is my go to gluten-free flour.
- Pure maple syrup-I like the Costco Kirkland brand! It is the good stuff and in my opinion the best bang for your buck.. Make sure whatever brand you buy does not have any filler added ingredients. The maple syrup will act as the blinder in this recipe, so do not skip!
- Coconut oil-This adds to the smoothness of the raw cookie dough.
- Vanilla extract– This adds flavor. If you cannot tolerate the alcohol, you can use vanilla powder.
- Sea salt-Who doesn’t like a tad of saltiness with a sweet treat.
- Dairy free chocolate chips-I am dairy free so dairy free chocolate chips are a must, but you can also use regular chocolate chips.

This is an awesome gluten free treat. The cookie dough is soft and doughy, just like the real deal.
