Cacao chickpea cookie dough “Snackwiches” made with chickpeas, nut butter, and your favorite cookies. Perfect for a snack or dessert.

What was your favorite ice cream flavor as a kid?

I went through a bunch of favorites– mint chocolate chip, cookies ‘n’ cream, butter pecan…

I’d stand in the line at Baskin Robbins with my family, changing my order over and over again in my head until it was my turn standing in front of the guy at the cash register.

At the last minute, I’d revert back to my original choice.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, duh!

I’m bringing it back in this post with this 6-ingredient Cacao Chickpea Cookie Dough that comes together in under 10 minutes for a nutritious snack or dessert!

Smash it between equally delicious snack cookies and you’ve got yourself a Cacao Chickpea Cookie Dough Snack-wich.

Make Cacao Chickpea Cookie Dough “Snackwiches”

We’re getting ready to travel across the country this week, and I’m feverishly compiling a list of portable snacks to take with me.

Sometimes I get a bit annoyed at yours truly for being so high maintenance when it comes to my lifestyle and traveling.

Dan asked inquisitively why I pack snacks when we could just buy them when we land.

But friends.

They don’t sell Cacao Chickpea Cookie Dough where I’m going.

Cookie Dough on the Go

I think this Cacao Chickpea Cookie Dough could totally survive a plane flight, don’t you?

Well, unless it’s all gone before we land.

You’re going to love this stuff straight out of the blender.

It’s thick and chunky, lightly sweetened with maple syrup, and packed with cacao crunch.

Go ahead, indulge in more spoonfuls than you intended because…you need your chickpea protein!

Sejoyia Coco-Roons

Have you guys tried Coco-Roons before?

They were the first ready-made cookie that I found after switching to being plant-based.

I definitely started hoarding all of the flavors whenever their brightly colored packaging caught my eye at the store.

The ingredients are clean and simple; made with a mix of cashew, coconut, and maple syrup.

My personal favorite is the Brownie flavor, but I bet you already knew that.

Sejoyia Coco-Thins

As if Coco-Roons didn’t already have me in cookie-paradise, Sejoyia is launching a new line called Coco-Thins!

They’re perfectly thin, crispy, and snackable, made with the same ingredient integrity and quality.

These thins are made with cassava, a root vegetable popular in Latin American, Asia, and Africa.

This root veggie is also gluten free, vegan, and paleo; making these cookies the perfect snack or treat for everyone.

Choose a Cookie for Your “Snackwiches”

When I first tried them, I knew they’d be the perfect crispy, lightly sweetened vehicle for something delicious.

Like a cacao chickpea cookie dough that’s packed with protein, fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats.

I used Chocolate Coco-Thins in this recipe, but you can use any flavor you love!

Cookie Dough You Can Eat Raw

Whenever we made cookies growing up, the best part was always licking the mixing bowl and spoons.

I always rejoiced when my mom brought the hand mixer out, because that meant more utensils to lick clean.

Luckily, I never got sick, but with this cookie dough, you don’t have to take your chances!

Swaps & Substitutions

I knew from all of my chickpea cookie baking that chickpea cookie dough by itself is quite delicious.

This time, instead of creating cookies and baking them, we simply blend it up and store it in the fridge for a simple high protein snack.

It’s that easy.

I used creamy peanut butter in my cookie dough “batter”, but any nut butter will work here.

Cashew butter or almond butter would be delicious too!

Add Your Own Mix-Ins

If you don’t have cacao nibs, dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher) are a good substitute.

You can also add your own mix-ins to create your own cookie dough flavors.

Go savory with crushed pretzels, chopped nuts, or seeds.

To go sweet, add dried fruit, shredded coconut, or chocolate.

How to Serve Cacao Chickpea Cookie Dough “Snackwiches”

Enjoy this Cacao Chickpea Cookie Dough whenever you’re craving something sweet but want to stay sensible.

It’s a fun way to snack to switch things up from your usual apples + PB and raw bars, you know?

I love to have a few spoonfuls for a mid-morning or afternoon snack when I’m wishing for dessert but know I’ll feel better with something nutrient dense.

If you can’t find Coco-Thins near you, sub your favorite snack cookie instead.

Some other ways to enjoy this Cacao Chickpea Cookie Dough are stuffed inside a sweet potato, spread onto toast or a sandwich, as dip for veggies or pretzels, and by the spoonful.

Enjoy!

#ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this #ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup feels easy. 🥕🍠🥣 It also tastes amazing and every warm spoonful is like a comforting embrace. This Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup is made on the stovetop with root vegetables and yellow curry paste blended with a spoonful of nut butter. I used a standing blender but you can also use an immersion blender to achieve the creamiest consistency.

I love topping my soup with cilantro, @edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds, and @edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil. 

@edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds are infrared roasted organic almonds with complimentary organic tamari soy sauce. They’re a delicious snack packed with protein and fiber. You can enjoy them on their own, added to trail mix, on salads and bowls, or…on soup! 
 
@edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil is a delicious unrefined expeller pressed toasted sesame oil that is infused with hot red chili peppers. Friends, this stuff is HOT! Just a *drop* adds a big kick to your dressings, marinades, stir-fries, etc. If you have a wild side, add a drop or two to your soup bowl for a little extra heat! 

Feel free to add your favorites, like roasted chickpeas, green onion, and sesame seeds.
