Day 3: Cookie Dough Truffles

I guess these aren't technically cookies, but there's cookie dough in the title so it's going to count. These are lovely little balls of heaven. Vegan, gluten-free, no-bake (which I found out aren't actually better than bake, because waiting for them to freeze takes longer than waiting for them to bake). And who doesn't like eating the cookie dough before it's baked? And with this, there's no risk for salmonella! Ideal me thinks...

With the coconut flour in the dough and coconut oil in the chocolate coating there is a hint of almond joy flavor, but not so overwhelming as to cause those not in favor of coconut to turn up their noses. It's a wonderful little sweet treat that you can eat and eat and eat and eat...

look at that, I'm a regular Dr. Seuss-ette!
