Tips & Variations

  • For an extra boost of flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a handful of chopped nuts.
  • Swap chocolate chips for vegan white chocolate or dried fruit for different variations.
  • If you prefer a softer dough, reduce the coconut flour slightly as it can absorb moisture.

Storage

Store the cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To enjoy, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes for a softer texture or eat it chilled for a firmer bite. You can also freeze the dough balls and thaw them before serving.

How to Serve

A clear glass cup is filled with a thick mixture of raw cookie dough, with three visible layers of light brown dough mixed with plentiful large dark chocolate chips spread evenly throughout. The dough is slightly coarse in texture and is heaped high above the rim in a rounded peak. A silver spoon is placed inside the cup at the back, sticking out at an angle. The background and surface are a white marbled texture, and some chocolate chips are scattered in the foreground. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
