    Vegan cookie dough is creamy, thick and sweet just like regular cookie dough.  This cookie dough is edible, gluten-free, dairy-free and Paleo too!

    Vegan cookie dough without coconut oil (oil-free) is my favorite, but most amazing is the main ingredient is a vegetable!  Kid-friendly and sure to become your favorite snack!

    How To Make Vegan Cookie Dough:

    1. Gather the ingredients, one of which is a cooked Japanese sweet potato (purple exterior, white interior, see tips below).

    4.  Add the coconut flour to the food processor and blend.  Or scoop the dough into a bowl and add the coconut flour and chocolate chips and mix well.

    5.  Stir and mix until fully combined.  Add enough coconut flour if the dough is too sticky.

    Can I Bake This Healthy Cookie Dough?

    • Yes!  The short answer – I simply add a teaspoon of baking soda to the dough, and make “blondies” by forming a square shape on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees F.  (Hope to have a detailed post soon).  Tip:  I usually leave out the coconut flour if I intend to bake this and make blondies or cookies.

    How Long Does Vegan Cookie Dough Last?

    • Well, in my house a day or two, but should last up to a week stored in the refrigerator.

    Vegan Cookie Dough For One:

    • Simply cut the recipe in half!

    Can You Freeze Vegan Cookie Dough?

    • Yes!  Place in the fridge to let it thaw.  You can freeze the cookie dough balls also!

    Variations On This Healthy Cookie Dough Recipe:

    • Add 2 tablespoons of raw organic cacao powder for chocolate vegan cookie dough!
    • Vegan Brownie Recipe (Vegan cookie dough recipe is based on this brownie recipe).
    • Vegan cookie dough balls (see below).
    • Chocolate dipped vegan cookie dough balls.  (see below).

    Pro Tips:

    • For best results use a Japanese sweet potato (purple exterior, white interior) for its mild taste.  You can use any sweet potato, but it will have a stronger flavor.
    • Bake or microwave the Japanese sweet potato to fully cook.  You are using the white flesh. (99% of the time I microwave my sweet potato for this recipe).
    • Use store-bought creamy almond butter or make homemade almond butter.
    • Substitute cashew butter if almond butter is not available.

    Vegan Cookie Dough Balls:

    • Super easy!  Just take tablespoon portions of the dough and roll into balls.  Yum!
    • Chocolate dipped vegan cookie dough balls – melt some dairy-free, vegan chocolate and dip the balls.  Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and freeze or refrigerate for at least an hour.  So good!!
