Can’t you taste the chickpeas in this recipe?

I don’t think the chickpeas are overwhelming in this recipe. They’re a very neutral bean flavor and with the almond butter and the cream cheese, there’s not a dominant garbanzo bean flavor. If you are super sensitive to the flavor of these beans you might not love this recipe as much as I do!

Making this healthy edible cookie dough is easy and fun! I love that I can dress this recipe up for whatever season we’re in, seasonal sprinkles are perfect for making this a festive recipe for parties and more.

Put the chickpeas in a food processor, blend until smooth. It should take about 1 minute or so.
Add the powdered almond butter, brown sugar, almond milk, vanilla extract, and the cream cheese cubes. Blend until smooth, about another minute.
Top with sprinkles and serve, each serving is about 3.5 Tablespoons.

I love that it’s made in the food processor and that means fewer dirty dishes. Everything gets whipped up in one spot and then served!

You can put the leftovers into the refrigerator and they’ll keep for a few days. It’s nice to be able to make a batch of this tasty edible cookie dough ahead of time and have a sweet treat on hand for when a craving strikes.

Of course, I have the myWW Freestyle breakdown for you on this cookie dough recipe. It’s a little more complicated now that there are three different plans for the Freestyle program. I’ll list them below so you can see what each plan tracks for a serving of this cookie dough.

Green Plan: 4 Points Per Serving 4 Tablespoons = 1/4 cup
Blue Plan: 3 Points Per Serving 4 Tablespoons = 1/4 cup
Purple Plan: 3 Points Per Serving 4 Tablespoons = 1/4 cup

My version of an edible cookie dough recipe is Weight Watchers friendly. That means you can have a sweet treat that is safe to eat, indulgent, and won't mess with your WW plan!

Each of these plans has its own rules for what counts for a point and what is free so make sure you are following the points and tracking for your particular program color! If you make changes to the recipe, ingredients, or servings you will need to calculate the points for yourself as I can’t predict how that will impact the overall points for every plan.
