Vegan cookie dough glob
Ohhhhkaaay. Ever since eating vegan cookie dough balls at The Other Side, I’ve been plagued (nay pleased) by this perfect little dessert’s new permanent stakeout in my brain. I can’t get over it. Everywhere I turn… cookie dough balls.
Give.me.cookie.dough.balls.
Done!
Yes, please
They’re supposed to be balls buuut… mine are more like globs. That’s what he said?
While I knew it wouldn’t be quite a dead on replica of what we ate in Boston, I decided to go with Averie’s raw vegan cookie dough ball recipe for its simple ingredients and quick prep time.
After all, I want these damn balls yesterday so the faster the better, am I right? I am right.
Yeppp
All you need: cashews, maple syrup, agave (I used brown rice syrup), vanilla, chocolate chips. But I’ll let Averie take it from here since it’s her brilliant recipe.
These weren’t like what we ate at The Other Side, but that doesn’t make them any less delightful. Stew loved them. And since he’s at a concert, I predict I’ll wake up tomorrow with not a cookie dough ball left in sight. It’ll happen.
But you know what? I know exactly what The Other Side did to make their balls so awesome. (I said it.) I’m on a mission. I will recreate them. Just wait…
In the meantime… make these!
Oh mannn… after seeing these on a couple of blogs, this needs to happen NOW.
Um… I want.
Must. Try.
I want those in my belly!!!
I think id eat them all in one day….which is why im not making them.
Woah made something similar tonight at Mama Pea’s site…http://peasandthankyou.com/2010/11/09/having-a-ball/
Sooooo good.
Thanks for the kind words and the linkage!! Glad you liked them!!
Kind of a dumb question, but I’m often befuddled (does anybody say that?!) by the “raw” designation. (And I have no idea what “high raw” means.)
From what I gather, rolled oats (steamed), chocolate chips (roasted and processed, not to mention most contain processed soy and vanilla), vanilla extract (distilled) and maple syrup aren’t raw (Averie acknowledges this about the chocolate chips and maple syrup, but not about the oats or vanilla). (Are whole vanilla beans dried at a low enough temperature to make them “raw”?)
And from what I gather, agave is processed at a higher temperature than what is considered raw (and is just plain processed, period).
I think this comment/question is as confusing as I’m finding raw/high raw to be…?
I’m with you! The version I made is in no way raw, and I really have no idea whether or not Averie’s version could be made with exclusively raw products. I don’t know much about raw foods, but I’ve gathered that whether or not something fits the definition of raw is kind of at the eater’s discretion. I know that technically it can’t be processed above 105 degrees (right?), but I don’t know if people always stick to that. I assume there are raw food purists out there who would love to clear this up for us the same way I would love to explain to the world that vegetarians do NOT eat fish or chicken just because some people who call themselves vegetarians do so every once in a while. This is where the whole naming game designed to make us easily categorized seems to just muddy the waters…
And we swim, swim, swim these muddy waters.
Meanwhile, I should have said, dang those balls look good enough to eat. (Ha!)
[...] I’ve been practicing. Last week I made Averie’s version of vegan cookie dough balls (mine were globs). They were great, but they weren’t [...]
