You know I like recipes that are fast and easy. So these coconut cookie dough balls are pretty much a dream come
true. First of all, they taste like coconut cookie dough. And secondly, they’re no-bake, with just two ingredients.

Coconut Cookie Dough Balls
(no added sugar!)
Facebook social plugin

Scant 2/3 cup pitted dates (80 g) (I like Sunmaid brand, because they’re softer. See the nutritional info link,
below, for substitution notes)
1 and 1/2 tbsp coconut butter or Homemade Coconut Butter
Tiny pinch salt (can be omitted if desired)
Optional: shredded coconut, chocolate chips, etc.
Blend everything together in a food processor. This makes a small batch, so I used my Magic Bullet. If you have a
bigger processor, it might be best to double or triple the recipe so everything blends more smoothly. (The recipe
can be done in a blender, but the results are stickier.) Smush into one big ball, then roll into little balls or bars or
cookie-cuttered shapes.
View Nutritional Info
These will last fridged for a few weeks or frozen for a few months.
Note: the cookie dough balls in the photos contain nuts. But after taking photos I revamped the recipe to make it
nut-free!
If you want balls without coconut butter, try one of these similar recipes:
German-Chocolate Fudge Bites
Girl-Scout Cookie Bites

“Are you a fan of quick and simple recipes?” Is that a joke? haha. Actually, I don’t really mind long
recipes, because I taste as I go, so it’s not like I’m waiting for the final result! haha

Hi Katie, I’m not sure if you’d know why this happens but I am signed up to your email notification
system and everytime you post a new recipe I get the previous post sent to me e.g. today I received the
email ‘Here is what happened on Saturday…’ instead of today’s 2 Ingredient Coconut Cookie Dough
Balls. It’s ok because I know when I receive an email you’ve put a new post up so can go and check your
site, it’s just that the content of the email is delayed by a day… very weird.

Gah! You are the best!!! Proving once again that recipes do not need to be complicated to be good. It’s
one of the reasons your blog is my favorite: because you’re like the rest of us, not some chef who
expects everyone to know how to (and have time to) do all these fancy cooking methods. Your recipes
are so simple anyone could make them… and yet we don’t think of them! It’s your ability to simplify
that is so genius!
Of course, I also like your more complicated recipes as well. The deep dish cookie pie is my all time
favorite dessert EVER!

I am definitely better with quick and easy recipes! The more steps and ingredients the more chances to
get distracted and mess up! Besides I cook more with love than skill, and it’s much easier to love a quick,
simple recipe. And this one looks great. As soon as I make some coconut butter I’m making this one.
Thanks for all the totally delicious and amazing recipes. You’re totally amazing!

Is that a record for fastest time to make a recipe after it’s posted, I wonder?
Katie, they are awesome. Might just be my new favorite snack, because they’re so quick to make. I’ve
done your other fudge babies before (the chocolate ones and the pb cookie dough ones), and I love
them and make them all the time. But these are even easier!
LOVE!

Samantha says:

Em beat me to making them already! LOL way to go Em.
Anyway, I am looking forward to these. I make the peanut butter ones all the time and add coconut to
those. I am also one of the ones that makes them with prunes so I will report how prunes and coconut
butter get along.
I do really enjoy the quick and simple to squeeze in the day and try more things out. I also have no
problem with a little more prep time and involvement for something I am going to enjoy. Especially for
more meal type options that will be eaten over several days (like your polenta casserole!).
I will say when quick and simple fails I usually recover quicker!

I just made these with prunes (plus some shredded coconut) and I think they are great! Full
disclosure however is that I have never eaten a larabar and I am not sure if I have ever had a
date so I don’t know about the taste comparison. They were good to me though!

I stay true to recipe with the following substitutions (has more to do with what

Prunes for raisins

Shredded coconut for peanuts
I LOVE them. Huge staple for me.
PS. Having on occasion left the salt out I can tell you I liked the salt in there.
Enjoy.

I just have to say that this coconut butter is seriously the best thing ever invented. I eat it by the

Mmmm I still have to bite the bullet and buy some coconut butter! I have a hard time justifying $12 for

I am a BIG fan of simple recipes!! On occasion, I like to put in a lot of effort {like for lasagna or a double
layer cake} but the majority of my recipes are quick and easy because I don’t want to wait for my food,
and I’m usually busy. It’s so easy to make delicious food in 5-20 mins

If you think about it, a candy bar is a dollar. But it’s single-serving. This is $12 and you get
more than 12 servings. Well, unless you’re me .

You should make your own! Bulk dried coconut isn’t too expensive. I made two easily jar-

it’s easy-peasy.

I think most of my quick fix recipes I either got from you or are based off of something I got from you.
I’m currently going through a pitcher of black forest smoothie/milkshake I made the other day. I feel like
you have a recipe for that on here but I haven’t looked at it – I used two frozen bananas, 1c coconut
milk, 1.5c soy milk, 1c frozen cherries, 1/2tsp vanilla extract, and liberal chocolate chips and blended. I
make my smoothies in bulk because they are so filling that I have breakfast for four days afterwards!
Perfect for me because I have to be up early every day and I rarely feel the drive to cook before 6am.

that good at it, I love to take in any tips i can. If you have a chance (and it’s fine if you don’t, i know you
have a busy schedule) could you write a post on your average photo shoot? For example, how you set
up, where you do it, and how you decide what you’ll include in the shot. Some pictures of you routine
would be awesome too.
Thanks so much!

Please don’t take this the wrong way when I make this comment.
I was really eager to make this recipe since I haven’t been able to tolerate nuts for awhile. And since it’s
National Truffle Day, I thought it was the perfect time to make them. So I got out my food processor,
dates, and coconut butter. But when I finished blending it all together, the finished product tasted…
well….. kind of boring. So I added some vanilla extract and sunflower seed butter and presto! I had
some delicious date/sunflower seed butter truffles!
They would be even better with chocolate (unfortunately, my dietary needs have forced me to
eliminate chocolate from my diet ): ).
Oh, I also prefer shorter recipes just because longer ones are a little more time consuming. Keep up the
good recipe making! I’ll check back soon for more chocolate covered recipes!

Where I live (Seattle area, WA state) coconut butter isn’t found in the main stores from what
I have seen. Even in the health/specialized stores it is a bit of a challenge. At Whole Foods in
Bellevue I only found Coconut Manna, which I then had to read the label to make sure it
was the same thing.
Coconut oil on the other hand I usually see several brands.

Definitely butter, not oil… I saw a bunch of sites claiming they are the same thing (just called

explaining: http://nouveauraw.com/special-raw-ingredients/coconut-oil-vs-coconut-butter/

I love easy recipes! I really enjoy cooking and baking, and will happily spend more time in the kitchen on
a weekend or for special occasions, but during the week I get home late and I want something I can
make (and eat) quickly. For a long time that meant lots of cold cereal, sandwiches, canned soup, and
pasta, but CCK has inspired me to eat better and given me the confidence to ad lib when I don’t have
exactly the right ingredients. (I’m a decent cook, but I think it’s just because I’m good at following
instructions since I lack the creativity to come up with new recipes.) I have an ever-growing list of
coconut butter recipes that I need to try once I finally buy some! Maybe I’ll drop hints for my birthday in
a few weeks… I’m always telling my mom to get edible gifts since I have too many belongings.

I would definitely prefer making something more challenged: with elaborate decorations and a lot of
effort. But unfortunately, my family prefers more basic, chocolaty things (and, I’m sorry, I can’t eat
chocolate D:), so I usually make our family recipe for Chocolate No-Bakes over the stove. It’s been a
family favorite for years!
It’s too bad I couldn’t get some job helping in a bakery of some sort while I’m in high school.

has anyone found packaged dates that have no nut cross contamination warning? we have nut
allergies in the house and every time i look for dates, they have a nut allergy warning label.
thx!

I haven’t… but I wonder if raisins are easier to find without nut contamination? If so, maybe
you could try substituting those?

Definitely a fan of simple recipes, especially the no bake ones. Since I am gluten free and sugar free (I use
agave syrup, which is technically a sugar but my body tolerates it) and gluten free baking is expensive
and usually annoys me. I KNOW I saw sunmaid dates somewhere, I just can’t remember where. Maybe
in Superstore, which is basically a Canadian version of Walmart.

Actually, I enjoy long, tedious recipies. For me, the fun is in making it, and eating it afterwards is just a
bonus!

These remind me of your fudge Babies- those things are a staple in our house!
I need to get a better technique for the dates though… I use a hand blender and it all gets a bit messy
and sticky! But at least it’s a delicous mess

I really want to make these, like right now but all I could find was coconut oil. The people at Trader Joe’s
market said I could use the coconut oil and coconut butter interchangably, true or false?

M ay 6 , 2 0 1 2 at 1 :5 4 am
Sorry, Trader Joe people are wrong .

They’re two very different products with very different textures. You might get something
yummy, but it won’t be the same.

Can you make this with coconut oil instead of coconut butter?

See Katie’s answer above and here:

You can try with oil, but it probably won’t turn out the same.

I was not prepared for how good these were going to be. Added shredded coconut AND dark chocolate
mini chips. Satisfies all cravings known to man.

Sound so yummmy! Can they be frozen? I’m due in about 10 weeks & want to have as many healthy
snack options on hand so I don’t end up binging on snicker bars. =)

Hi Katie!
I love your blog so much! A friend introduced it to me a few months ago when she brought this recipe
to a party. Ever since then I can’t get enough! I have been making at least one recipe a week and have
never eaten more chocolate or been healthier in my life! Thank you for coming up with so many
amazingly healthy and delicious recipes! You have an amazing talent! Even my husband can’t believe
how delicious a healthy recipe can be!
Thank you!!

Hi, Katie!
Love these cookies. A question about “serving size.” You mention making 12g balls. I don’t have
anything to reference that with. About how large a cookie is 12g? Half an inch? Smaller?
Thanks! I enjoy trying your recipes!

Totally confused!
I successfully made coconut butter. Yeah! I used same brand/kind you used and it worked out great.
Then I attempted the coconut cookie dough balls. I doubled the batch because I used my Vita-Mix. I
added a little extra coconut flakes and about 10-12 raw almonds because I think everything is better
with nuts. Blended them for a bit.
They turned out extremely greasy. Oil was RUNNING off my fingers. I couldn’t believe it. Was it the
almonds? Or is it the coconut butter really that greasy. So confused.
Help. Thanks!
