Healthy Cookie Dough Chocolate Eggs

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

½ cup natural cashew butter (for that neutral cookie dough flavor — but any nut or seed butter works)
¾ cup almond flour
¼ cup gluten-free baking flour (heat treated, spooned + leveled — haven’t tested other flours – you could maybe try 2-3 tbsp coconut flour)
3 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of flaky sea salt (I love Maldon Flaky Sea Salt)
¼ cup Hu Dark Chocolate Baking Chips

Chocolate Coating

1 cup Hu Dark Chocolate Baking Chips
Flaky sea salt (for topping)

Instructions

1. Make the Cookie Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except the chocolate chips.

Stir until a thick, cookie dough-like consistency forms, then fold in the chocolate chips.

2. Shape the Eggs

Using a medium cookie scoop (about 1.5 tablespoons), scoop and shape into egg forms.

Place on a parchment-lined tray and chill for about 30 minutes, until firm.

3. Melt the Chocolate

In a heatproof bowl (a glass measuring cup works great), melt chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.

4. Coat the Eggs

Dip each cookie dough egg into the melted chocolate.

Use a fork to lift it out, gently tapping off excess chocolate, then place back on parchment paper.

5. Finish + Set

Drizzle any extra chocolate over the top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

Chill for 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.

My Tips

Cashew butter gives the most classic cookie dough flavor
Make sure your flour is heat-treated for safe, no-bake eating
Don’t skip chilling — it makes dipping so much easier
A little flaky salt on top = chef’s kiss

What They Taste Like

Think soft, sweet cookie dough bites with a rich chocolate shell and a hint of salt. They’re creamy, chocolatey, and perfectly balanced — not too sweet, just right.
