Cookie Dough Cravings

Finals... They're coming here!!

It's my last Monday of the semester and I couldn't be more conflicted!! On one hand... I am SO excited to go back home. I miss the homeland like crazy and can't wait to see everyone... AND sleep in my queen bed! No more twin XL for me!

Buuuut on the other hand.... I'm going to miss this beautiful place!! And in the Summer it is even more stunning. The music, the weather, great food, MY FRIENDS!!! *crying*.... Next year is going to be so different. Tons of my favourites are moving on to the bigger and better (you know who you are!) and while I'm so thrilled for them, I'm going to miss them!!

Missing people is weird. It's like... something I'm not super used to experiencing. I'm pretty accustomed to constantly starting over and making new friends. Friends have always been pretty transient for me. Family has been my constant.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my friends. Always have. And I'm always so so so excited to meet up with people I haven't seen in a while. But active missing? Like that hole in your heart when you don't see them? Not as much.

Things are different now. And that's scary/crazy/wonderful/terrible!! I'm pretty lucky I have people in my life and heart that I can miss :)

Anyway. The real reason we are here: Cookie. Dough. That you can feel great while and after eating. This exists? Yeah baby, it exists. Do I eat it on the daily? But of course. Can YOU?... well, now you can ;)








Single Serving Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Ingredients

2 TBSP coconut flour (I like Bob's Red Mill)
1-2 TBSP milk of choice (I like Silk Unsweetened Cashew Milk)
A few drops of vanilla extract
2 drops of butter extract
Pinch Salt
Pinch Baking Powder (Sounds weird, but it lends that raw cookie dough taste)
Sweetener to taste (I like using Splenda and Truvia Brown Sugar Blend)
Add ins! Chocolate chips, rolled oats, cinnamon, pecans, coconut, oreos.... anything you like in YOUR cookies :) Keep in mind this alters the nutritional value!



Directions

Add everything but your mixins and stir with a fork! If you need a little more milk to get the consistency you want feel free! Coconut flour is a VERY thirsty flour and soaks up liquid like a sponge. Unfortunately it cannot be substituted in this recipe....

Add in your mixins and get ready for some cookie-dough-lovin! Roll it into little balls and freeze it, crumble it on a smoothie, spread it on pancakes, or just spoon it onto some healthy peanut butter mousse like me ;)

Couldn't be easier!!

I'm always looking for suggestions on what to healthify... anything in particular y'all want to see on the blog? Let me know here, fb, insta, whatever!!
