Somehow I've never been a person who craved cookie dough, but after seeing this recipe I can see how easily it could happen. This is so simple yet so tasty-looking, and of course almond flour is my go-to. Mmm.
Colleen | Bakes & Blunders
My husband is going to love this! Had to pin this one because edible cookie dough is the actual best.
Entitae
This was quite good. I've recently been watching my diet and stumbled upon this while I had a sweet craving. I have to say, I wasn't disappointed. It didn't taste quite like cookie dough, yet I found it satisfactory. Since I didn't have almond flour, I swapped it for almond flour and it was quite tasty.
