Chocolate chip cookie dough balls raw and vegan

Do you love baking chocolate chip cookies and eat the cookie dough? Or eat all the cookie dough out of you Ben&Jerry cup?

For the people how know me personally, they know I am a sweet tooth. I like desserts, chocolate, candy you name it. But the down side of it is that you will gain extra pounds. (If you want another healthy dessert check the chia seeds coco choco almond pudding.)

I've tried to eat less sugars, but I simply can't resist sweet food. Few years ago I bought a cup of Ben&Jerry's cookie dough and I loved it right away. I always scoop out the cookie dough, because that was my favorite.

And 2 years ago I went for an holiday to the States and went to the Walmart in Richmond, West Virginia and found the cookie dough. You have to put the cookie dough in the oven, but I just choose to eat it raw and you guess it already, it made me fat.

About a month ago I found on instagram a recipe for cookie dough from a girl that only cooked vegan en gluten free. And she explained that this cookie dough balls come without any health risks. So no guilt for this cookie dough!
