Cookie Dough – I love you

Have you been to a cooking class in your local grocery store? I’ve found fantastic recipes and superb chefs, such as culinary instructor and certified nutritionist Abigail Nagorski, at Whole Foods Market.

Abigail delights everyone with her whole food cookie dough. While I abhor regular cookie dough’s sickeningly, cloyingly sweet flavour and texture, these Cookie Dough morsels are heavenly little balls of nutritious joy.

Cookie Dough 

• 2 c raw cashews, ground to a flour in a Vitamix or a Magic Bullet, not too long or you’ll make butter
• 1 c oat flour, made from oats in a Vitamix or a Magic Bullet
• 3 T honey
• 3 Medjool dates, pitted
• pinch of sea salt
• 1 1/2 t vanilla extract
• 1 c raw cacao nibs
• 1/2 c chopped walnuts
• 1/2 c goji berries, raisins or dried cranberries

In a food processor, mix oat and cashew flour with honey, dates, vanilla and salt.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour mixture with the rest of the ingredients. Make bite-sized balls by squeezing and rolling the mixture. Store in the fridge in a glass jar.
