Gather Your Ingredients

The best part about making these frozen cookie dough bites is that you probably have most of these ingredients in your pantry already. They all make the list for my top pantry staples.

All of these ingredients are healthy and filling, which is why these edible frozen cookie dough balls are perfect for easy road trip snacks and meal prep snacks.

All you’ll need to do for these vegan cookie dough balls is combine all of the ingredients in a food processor or high speed blender.

I usually have leftover cooked sweetpotato, but if you don’t, you can microwave it for 5-7 minutes, and then let it cool.

Then, you’ll just add the mashed sweetpotato puree to the other ingredients in the blender.

You can taste as you go – Remember, these no bake cookie dough bites have no eggs and don’t need an oven!

Blend until everything is smoothly mixed, and add the chocolate chips last.

Then, roll dough into small bites and place on a baking sheet or flat surface and place in the freezer.

After 45 minutes to an hour, they should be frozen and you can just grab a bite and enjoy.

I love to let my kids help and blend the ingredients in our food processor. Then, they like to add in the chocolate chips (after taking several bites, naturally).

Toddlers and kids will all love these vegan cookie dough balls. I have several other sweetpotato recipes for kids on the blog, and most of them are very kid friendly.

The rolling part can get a little messy (see the FAQs and tips below), but letting your child scoop the dough onto a baking sheet to freeze is a nice way to involve them.

If you have a child who loves snacking after dinner (like us), frozen cookie dough bites also make for a great evening snack for kids, along with these salted chocolate almond balls.

Or even a fun back to school snack!

FAQs and Tips

Store your frozen cookie dough bites in the freezer. After rolling them into balls, I like to keep them flat on a baking sheet for a few hours. Then, once frozen, transfer to a ziploack bag or stasher bags. Store for up to 3 months!
You don’t have to thaw them before eating, but you certainly can! If I put them in a lunch box, they will be softer by the time kiddos eat them.
If your cookie dough is too sticky, what I’ve found to help is grinding some oats (into an oat flour) and wiping that on my hands before rolling. I also use a cookie dough scooper to place on the baking sheet.
