Ingredients

FOR THE COOKIE DOUGH BITES

2 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce (level tablespoons, not heaping)
¼ cup coconut sugar
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup whole-grain, gluten-free oat flour (measure using the spoon and level method as noted in tips in the post above)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
⅓ cup vegan, refined sugar-free chocolate chips (such as Enjoy Life or Davis Chocolate)

FOR THE OPTIONAL CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE

1 tablespoon vegan, refined sugar-free chocolate chips
¼ teaspoon coconut oil

FOR THE OPTIONAL CHOCOLATE COATING

½ cup vegan, refined sugar-free chocolate chips
1 ½ teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

FOR THE COOKIE DOUGH BITES

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Using a spoon, mix applesauce, coconut sugar, maple syrup and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl.
Stir in oat flour and salt.
Fold in ⅓ cup chocolate chips.
Use a small cookie scoop (I recommend a #60 disher) to scoop out dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Use your hands to roll each one and form into a ball. Return each one to the sheet.
Place the baking sheet with the dough balls in the freezer for 10 minutes.

FOR THE OPTIONAL CHOCOLATE DRIZZLE

If using the chocolate drizzle, make while cookie dough bites are in the freezer by combining 1 tablespoon chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring between each one, until chocolate is smooth. Wait to use until slightly cooled down.
Dip a small spoon into the melted chocolate and using a back and forth motion, drizzle a line of chocolate across the top of each cookie dough bite. Repeat going in the other direction, if desired.
Place cookie dough bites in the freezer for 10 more minutes.

FOR THE OPTIONAL CHOCOLATE COATING

Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each one, until chocolate is smooth. Allow the chocolate to cool down slightly so that the dough balls don’t melt when you dip them.
Use a fork to dip each dough ball into the melted chocolate. Place each chocolate-coated dough ball onto the parchment-lined baking sheet until all of the dough balls have been covered with chocolate.
Dip a small spoon into the chocolate and using a back and forth motion, drizzle a line across the top of each coated dough ball.
Place in the freezer on the baking sheet for 10 more minutes.

Notes

Keep cookie dough bites refrigerated in an airtight container for up to five days. They can also be kept in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
