Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 6 ounce box of gluten free cookies or premade cookies (170gr) - 12 mini cookies, soft baked works best
- 1 cup gluten free pretzel sticks - to grind
- Heaping 1/3 cup smooth nut butter or sunflower seed butter of choice (no stir works best)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dairy free chocolate chips for melting or 1 dark chocolate baking bar
- Decorative toppings
- Sprinkles, sparkling cane sugar, melted white chocolate (vegan brand option), etc.
Instructions
- Place the cookies in a food processor. Blend until batter is crumbly. Place in a large mixing bowl.
- Next place 1 cup pretzel sticks in a food processor bowl or ziplock bag. Crush or process until crumbly mix is formed.
- Combine the crushed pretzels with the cookie mix. Mix together. Add nut butter and mix together with spoon or hands until a cookie dough batter is formed. Mix in the vanilla.
- Grab a small scoop of the dough (similar to golf ball size) and roll into a ball. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat until you’ve used up all the batter. This should make around 12-14 balls.
- Place in freezer for 10 minutes. While the cookie dough balls are freezing, melt the chocolate.
- To melt the chocolate chips, place it in a microwave safe bowl and place in the microwave. Heat on medium high for 30-45 seconds to start with. Remove from the microwave and stir. Repeat heating at shorter intervals, 15-20 seconds, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and has a smooth consistency. If chocolate start to get clumpy, mix in a teaspoon of coconut oil (melted) and mix again. You can also melt on the stove top over medium heat, stirring.
- Once the chocolate is melted, remove the cookie dough balls from the freezer. With a spoon (or hand) dip each ball in chocolate, evenly. Set back on the cookie sheet. Repeat for all the cookie balls, coating with chocolate. Next add the decorative sugar and/or sprinkles, etc.
- Place in freezer again to set for 10-15 minutes. Once the chocolate is set, remove from freezer and add any additional melted chocolate on top for decoration.
- Be sure to place in fridge again (to harden chocolate) if you add more chocolate drizzle.
- Store in airtight container in fridge for longer shelf life. Or room temp for up to a week.
