Description
These no-bake gluten free chocolate chip cookie dough footballs are rich, chocolatey, and perfect for festive gatherings. Easy to make and completely vegan, they’re a fun and crowd-pleasing treat.
Ingredients
1/2 cup blanched almond flour
1/2 cup gluten free all purpose flour
1/2 cup vegan butter
1/2 cup organic white sugar
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (divided)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 cup white icing
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine vegan butter, vanilla, and sugar. Mix on medium speed until smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, gluten free flour, and baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Add 1 cup of chocolate chips and mix on low speed for about 30 seconds.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll small portions of dough into balls, then shape into footballs by gently forming oval ends.
- Place shaped dough in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
- Remove chilled footballs and coat each with melted chocolate using a spoon.
- Place coated footballs in the freezer for 30 minutes until chocolate is set.
- Trim excess chocolate if needed, then decorate with white icing to create football laces.
- Serve chilled or slightly softened.
Notes
Use dark or mini chocolate chips for variation in texture and flavor.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet-salty twist.
Replace almond flour with a seed-based flour for a nut-free option.
Add crushed gluten-free cookies for extra crunch.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freeze for up to 2 months and thaw slightly before serving.
