WW Cookie Dough Recipe (No Bake)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond flour (or oat flour)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (or a lower-fat butter alternative)
• 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener or stevia (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (optional, adjust based on WW points)
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• A pinch of salt
• 2-3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or any milk alternative, adjust as needed)

Instructions:

1. Mix the dry ingredients:
   In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
2. Combine the wet ingredients:
   In another bowl, mix the applesauce (or butter), sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
3. Form the dough:
   Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of almond milk to achieve a soft, doughy consistency. If you’re adding chocolate chips, fold them into the dough at this point.
4. Chill and enjoy:
   Cover the dough and chill it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up. You can eat it straight from the bowl or roll it into small bites for a cookie dough snack.
5. Optional – Bake it:
   If you’d prefer to bake the  dough, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the  cookies are golden brown around the edges but still soft in the middle.

Tips:

• Customizing flavors: You can add different flavorings like a pinch of cinnamon, or even swap the chocolate chips for other mix-ins like chopped dried fruit (raisins, cranberries) or nuts (walnuts, almonds).
• No-bake option: For a quick, no-bake snack, chill the dough in the fridge, then scoop out small portions and enjoy the dough raw. It’s a satisfying treat with minimal prep time.
• Point tracking: The beauty of WW recipes is that you can adjust ingredients based on your personal points budget. For example, if you want fewer points, reduce the amount of chocolate chips, or opt for a lighter sweetener like stevia, which can cut back on sugar and calories.
