    HEALTHY CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIE DOUGH DIP {VEGAN & GLUTEN FREE!}

    Since transitioning to dairy-free, sometimes we just crave a big bowl of cookie dough. When it comes to finding a great dairy-free and plant-based cookie dough recipe on Pinterest, unfortunately, most of them are either loaded with sugar or made with Garbanzo Beans. 😲

    So when Chef Christina Murray shared this dessert dip with us–which also happens to be healthy, delicious, and even kid-approved–we may or may not have eaten the whole batch. Twice.

    It's perfect as a dip for apples or as the filling between your favorite cookies . . . or straight from the bowl with a spoon.

    3 T. Ground Flax Seed

    1/2 C. Pitted Dates Soaked {or 1/4 C. Agave, Maple Syrup, or Honey}

    Blend Cashews into a fine powder not quite as fine as flour {I used a Vitamix. If you don’t have one, use a food processor.}. Spoon into a large bowl. Place remaining ingredients {except for chocolate chips} into food processor, blend well. Gently stir in cashew mixture a little at a time. Stir until well combined. Fold in chocolate. You can use dark chocolate pieces roughly chopped in the Vitamix or use chocolate chips.

    Word to the wise: Try not to eat it all in one sitting. 😉
