Edible Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough

by

Hi my name is Georgie and I’m addicted to chickpea cookie dough. Guys, I don’t even think it was a month ago that I shared my last edible cookie dough recipe and here we are again. But alas I can’t stop spooning this goodness into my face hole. This time I’ve made a couple twists that I think you’ll love.

  • It takes less than 15 minutes to make … check
  • It requires no skill other than to chuck into a food processor … check
  • It’s cookie dough … check

Let’s be real… having a little treat post dinner is one of my favorite things. I love winding down, popping on a podcast and nommin’ on something sweet before bed. Yes in the past, I’ve tried eliminating all sugar out of my life in the name of health. It wasn’t the worst experience, but it also wasn’t as life changing as everyone says it is. (Mind you I’m starting at a pretty low baseline of sugar: fruit, the occasional snack bar, smoothie bowls, dates, some chocolate, a scone here and there nothing dramatic.)

At the time, I think I bought into the hype of eating ULTRA CLEAN because if you’re going to those lengths, then of course you don’t want to feel like it’s wasted effort. But comparing then, to how I feel now with virtually no “restrictions” it’s nothing measurably different. However, that’s just my bod. Everyone is so different that the only way to know what’s right for you is to try things out. Just make sure to give it some time and be honest with yourself.

I don’t notice a difference in my health when a do or don’t eat snassert. I don’t feel better in the morning if I skip it. I don’t lose 5 lbs if I skip it for a month. I don’t have more or less energy. Therefor, because it makes me happy, it stays.

Moral of the story: if you like a little snassert before bed, that’s cool. If you don’t, that’s also cool. Oh, but if you do like snassert then this healthy cookie dough is pretty much made for you.

  2. My friend used to always make chickpea cookie dough for parties in college. Like, I could always count on her to help me curb my sweet tooth. It’s so good, and this snickerdoodle version sounds BOMB.

  3. Well this sounds freaking fantastic. I’ve got about 4 cans of chickpeas in my pantry too. Obviously I now know what to do with them. Especially because snickerdoodle is one of my FAVS.
    And I couldn’t agree more with all of your insight. Snassert before bed=happiness=life <3

  4. How much fun! I loved your first cookie “dough” recipe so this will be a fun twist to make. What is your favorite way, at the moment, to eat the dip?

  6. Seeing a picture of this on Instagram this morning is the first time I’ve heard of “snassert” and that’s totally something I can get behind. I’ve never eliminated sugar and definitely need it in my life! 🙂 This dough sounds great — love the chickpea twist.

  8. After reading this post I’m pretty positive we’re actually twins because I 100% agree with all of that! Eating healthy is cool but snasserts will never ever ever be given up. Seriously though I have a bowl of edible cookie dough in my fridge AT ALL TIMES so I’ll have to make this one once my current bowl get eaten up 🙂

  9. You checked all of my boxes for the perfect snack too!! I find that healthy snacks/desserts like this help me avoid the ‘OMG I can’t have sugar” binge that I used to have. This is such a better alternative. And those ingredients are amazing! I bet this tastes fantastic, pinning for later!
