If you haven’t noticed, cookie dough balls seem to have taken the blog world by storm. After making a batch of Mama Pea’s version last week, I am fully and unashamedly on the bandwagon.
In a second attempt to find new uses for peanut flour, I seem to have come up with yet another cookie dough concoction. Although this one isn’t quite as delicious as those previously mentioned, they’re still pretty darn tasty. And simple. And even healthy.
4-ingredient cookie dough balls.
ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (30g) peanut flour
- 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 Adora calcium disk, crushed
- splash (tablespoon or so) of almond milk
directions: Microwave the coconut oil in a small bowl for 30 seconds. Stir in the peanut flour, then the milk, then the crushed Adora disk. Form dough into three balls and wrap each separately in saran wrap. Freeze for just about 5 minutes before digging in (or refrigerate if you want to save them for later).
Like I said, these balls aren’t comparable to real cookie dough in the taste department, but they sure do have the consistency! And, don’t get me wrong – I think that they taste pretty great too.
Obviously you could just use chocolate/carob chips instead of an Adora disk, but I figured this was a good way to make up for my calcium-lackage. I guess that’s what happens when you eat pie for breakfast…
More cookie dough craziness:
- Mama Pea’s Vegan Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Balls
- Diana’s Chocolate Chip Dough Balls
- Jessica’s Cookie Dough Truffles
Which is the BEST cookie dough ball? I have certainly noticed them taking the blogging world by storm, but I have yet to give in! I am looking for some new healthy treats, though…
hmm I couldn’t tell you
I’ve only tried Mama Pea’s, which were amazing, but they all look so delicious!
i hopped on the cookie dough bandwagon last week, too! vegan cookie dough truffles… http://sweettaterblog.com/2010/11/19/cookie-dough-truffles/
i’ve eaten at least 5 a day since i made them.
Oh, yum!! Do you have a recipe for them? I clicked on some of the links in the post but they didn’t work
That’s a really good idea! I would definitely use chocolate chips though. I am always weary of taking calcium without the accompanying magnesium, vitamin D, etc. Apparently getting too much calcium actually leeches it from your bones if not accompanied by the supporting minerals (in food, they usually occur together).
Adora disks have vitamin D and magnesium in them!
Awesome - I think I confused them with another product then. At any rate, I like your speedy dough ball hack.
Those look DELISH. Thanks for listing my truffles too!
I finally tasted Annie the Baker’s version, and they are just as good as everyone says. How does she do it?! Well, I guess we know now thanks to everyone’s recipes!
Wow! I can’t wait to try those!

Looks good! I need to get on this cookie dough ball wagon here
I think I’ve seen 200 of these in the past week. I get the feeling that someone (or 200 someones) want me to try the recipe. I might just cave.
fantastic! i love that you used an adora disk!
I need to get on these balls! Lol you have adora disks left? I think I ate all of mine!
haha yes…I LOST the bag up until a few days ago. It was buried in a mess of junk in my room :/
That looks so good and I definitely just bought some peanut flour!!!

Looks good to me!
I love every single ONE of your recipes. END of story. Every time I check out your blog I want to eat!
Whyyy didn’t I read this post before eating my snack? I just made plain old peanut flour “peanut butter” to dip my apples in, but this would have been so much more delicious…
I think I need to get on this cookie dough ball bandwagon too!
I still haven’t made Mama Pea’s dough balls, but I want to. After Thanksgiving I suppose…
Yum! Your dough balls sound fantastic! I actually have some Adora left from HLS…lol. Thanks for linking to my recipe!
Have a great week!
These look so good. I want to make them but sxcared I’m gunna eat them all in on sitting!
I ate them all in one sitting
The addition of the Adora disc is genius! I love it! I think on my deathbed/wedding/heaven ALL I will want is GOODIE RING’S Cookie Dough! Just google it- apparently not that available in the States. These cookie rings are literally the TRUE meaning of life. They seriously have entire forums dedicated to them, are one of the top requested items to be shipped overseas, and have a cult following. TO DIE FOR. I have had a few people compare them a LITTLE bit to Samoas-girlscout cookies, but they are WAY BETTER= coconut, peanut butter, chocolate.
Cookie dough is my favorite add in to Ice cream and one of my favorite Davinci SF syrup flavors!
Here is my truffle contribution (aka protein truffle balls), these are great with peanut flour and coconut flour, etc:
