Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

I should start off my saying welcome and I’m glad you’re here!  Desserts with Benefits is a healthy dessert recipe blog that revolves around health, balance and an active, balanced lifestyle…  with some healthified cookies, cakes, and brownies snuck in between  🙂

Desserts can and should be eaten every day without feeling guilty or weighed down (hey, sweet tooth, did I get your attention?).  That is why this blog exists.  As a dessert-obsessed girl who studied Nutritional Sciences in college, I feel like it’s my duty to share the knowledge I’ve gained over the years and provide recipes that any dietician would be glad to chow down on.

Sweet treats with health benefits?  YES, PUH-LEASE!

So go ahead, have that sweet treat on a daily basis without worrying about excess calories, unhealthy fats, highly refined sugars, etc.  Because I sure do!  I can’t remember a day where I haven’t eaten a cupcake, ice cream, a handful of chocolates, or even just a dessert-inspired milkshake.

Are you striving to be healthy but don’t want to give up dessert in order to do so?  That’s why I’m here y’all  😉

And that brings me to this Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough recipe!  It’s safe to eat raw (it’s made without eggs, so no need to worry about Salmonella), it’s 100% whole grain (no bleached all-purpose flour here!), and is refined sugar free, high protein, and high fiber too  — a low glycemic treat so you can avoid the sugar-rush and sugar-crash.

This is the perfect recipe that perfectly represents my blog’s name, Desserts with Benefits — a name that signifies exactly what it states:  desserts with health benefits!

Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Cookie dough is a sweet tooth’s classic comfort food.  Just like how savory-lovers will eat mac and cheese or mashed potatoes, us dessert-lovers will head straight to the fridge with a spoon and a smile.

What makes us crave this unbaked treat?  Is it the endless supply of sugar?  The refined flour?  Or is it the abundance of butter that brings it all together?  It’s all of that, and more.  When something so unhealthy is put into a convenient little container, all we see as a consumer is the pretty logo and a background scattered with innocent mini chocolate chips.  I should know, I used to eat cookie dough by the tub…  the Costco-sized tub (yes, it’s embarrassing), so I know firsthand how good that stuff tastes.  But I turned a new leaf and am learning the ins and outs of nutrition.  I now know that the ingredients used by those cookie dough companies sure aren’t “innocent” in any sense of the word.  I know firsthand how bad that stuff is for the human body.  We aren’t made to consume such dangerous ingredients like hydrogenated oils, refined-to-the-bone white sugar and processed flour, we are made to eat natural foods, like this Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.

Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Looks delicious, right?  Well, it is!  This all-natural cookie dough tastes just as sweet, just as buttery, and just as unhealthy as any storebought cookie dough, except this cookie dough is good for you…  this cookie dough has health benefits  🙂

Eating nutritionally balanced sweets has given me, my family, my friends and hundreds of thousands of readers a new perspective on the word, “dessert.”

Dessert can now be healthy.
Dessert can now be guilt-free.
Dessert can now be beneficial to you as a whole…  mind, body and soul.

  29. This looks divine! Absolute perfection for those nights when you’re craving something naughty!

  30. CONGRATS! I love your blog. Thanks! 🙂

  31. I like your new name much better… Really like what you do here; keep it up! 🙂

  32. This recipe sounds awesome. Would oat flour, whole wheat flour, or coconut flour be an appropriate substitute for the brown rice flour? Love the giveaway, too!

    • dessertswithbenefits

      I would suggest oat flour, since I’ve used that as a replacement before, but WW flour might work as well. I wouldn’t recommend coconut flour since it absorbs too much liquid. Hope you like the recipe!

  33. Hey! Do we need to resubscribe to this blog or have you already renewed our subscriptions?

  34. love your website, and all the delicious recipes! thanks so much!!

  35. Alisha Van Eimeren

    I just found your blog, and I’m so excited I did. I strive to live a healthy life, but my sweet tooth is my biggest downfall.

  36. oh my goodness I have to try this! I’m notorious for eating all the dough before it ever becomes cookies – it’d be best to make dough with the intention of eating it in the first place! hahaha.

  37. Wow this is so great. I think I’ll start making this when I get back home! Thanks! (:

  38. I love your blog and everything about your concepts of whole foods and clean eating 🙂 I would absolutely love winning the stevia!

  39. You have made my life more delicious! Thank you so much! Love Love Love your blog! keep it up:)

  40. Oh, Jessica! I LOVE you! I am SUCH a sugar-holic and yet KNOW I need to eat healthier. I have followed you for a couple of years now and have tried many of your recipes and found them to be JUST WHAT THE CUSTOMER ORDERED!! Thank you for your new blog and your healthy/indulgent recipes. I look forward to many more yummy recipes from here. Kudos to you!

  42. I love your blog ~ Thank you SO much for giving us healthy, delicious recipes. I can’t wait to try even more of your recipes!! 😀

  43. I have just recently stopped using splenda because I was having stomach cramps and now they are gone! But I dont have anything to sweeten my food with. This would be perfect!:)

  44. LOVE THE NEW NAME! Thank you for leading the way in healthy eating and allowing me to keep eating dessert! I am on a new path in life to eat healthier, smarter and to teach others how to do the same! You are a blessing!

  45. It was such a pleasant surprise when I saw the new blog heading. I’m also a college student trying to eat as healthy as I can. It’s not always easy when I can only eat from the dining commons! I would totally make this cookie dough right now if I had some protein powder, I’ve been meaning to get some more but it’s just too expensive for me right now.

  46. this looks so tasty! im always looking for creative ways to use protein powder! cant wait to try it!
