Molasses Crinkle Cookie Dough Bites

Remember those chocolate cookie dough bites I posted last week? Every single time I passed the freezer, I pulled one out to munch on. They barely lasted me a few days.. it’s definitely a good thing that they’re protein packed healthy little bites! I’ve been missing them dearly – it’s just not the same without having a little treat every few hours! But then I saw these raw gingersnap cookie bon bons and knew I had to make something like them. My favorite cookie (molasses crinkles) in cookie dough bite form?! Heck yes.

I did my own spin off on these, adding chocolate, using different sweeteners.. the flavor is so spot on. Because they’re softer, they’re just like having a molasses crinkle. This made a bigger batch than the chocolate chip cookie dough bites, but I think they’ll last about the same time..or even less. They’re that good.

Aren’t my little measuring cups adorable? My sister got them for me for Christmas. 🙂 These little bites are going to be my snack for the ride back to my parents’ for the wedding. Let’s see if they last the whole way (it’s three & a half hours).

Molasses Crinkle Cookie Dough Bites

2/3 cup cashews

1/3 cup almonds

1/3 cup walnuts

2/3 cup rolled oats

2 t cinnamon

1/4 t cloves

1/2 t nutmeg

1 t ginger

sea salt, to taste

2 t ground flax seeds

2 T molasses

1 medjool date

1 packet truvia

1 1/2 T milk

1/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

Combine the cashews, walnuts, almonds and rolled oats in a food processor and grind into crumbs. Add in the spices and flax seeds and pulse to blend. Add in the molasses, date and truvia and mix until well incorporated. Add in the milk slowly until the dough comes together enough to form into balls. Either fold in or pulse in the chocolate chips – I like to pulse so they get chopped into smaller pieces. Form into balls and place in an airtight container. Keep them in the freezer or fridge and snack on anytime!
