“My daughters love making this and enjoying it with fruit and graham crackers.”

Chickpeas in and of themselves are so versatile, nutritious and easy to add to kids’ diets. Try these toddler bean recipes the next time you want to add a crunch, and some extra nutrition, like fiber, iron, protein, and more.
My Kids Ask for Sweetpotato Cookie Dough Every Week
Sometimes you just want a healthy edible cookie dough, not just a cookie. Right?
As a Registered Dietitian who can hose down some raw cookie dough (I have a sweet tooth!), I knew for food safety’s sake that I needed a vegan cookie dough recipe, like this chickpea chocolate chip cookie dough, especially when pregnant and/or sharing with the kids.
Here’s why you’ll love this healthy vegan edible cookie dough.
- It’s vegan so you can eat the batter as you go.
- Ready in only 10 minutes – when the craving strikes! No bake time or prep time needed.
- You can even freeze the cookie dough into frozen cookie dough bites – make two recipes out of one! They have a different taste and texture when frozen and are our favorite cool summer snack.
- If you don’t have sweetpotato, you could substitute with pumpkin and make pumpkin cookie dough, or just omit it entirely.
- I love to use vegan cookie dough as a “sweet hummus recipe” and dip crackers or graham crackers into it. We usually swap it with our favorite chocolate whipped cottage cheese dip!
Ingredients: You just need a food processor, sweetpotatoes, chickpeas, peanut butter, maple syrup or honey, oats, vanilla, cinnamon, almond milk and chocolate chips.
The best part about this chickpea chocolate chip cookie dough is that it’s ready quickly (only 10 minutes) when the craving for healthy cookie dough dip strikes!
Ingredients Breakdown
Making healthy edible cookie dough is much easier than you think!
- sweetpotatoes – add more natural sweetness, as well as fiber, Vitamin A and Vitamin C
- chickpeas
- maple syrup (I recommend Grade A) – I think the maple syrup is key, but if you don’t have any, you could use sugar
- peanut butter (highly recommend this cinnamon peanut butter or a creamy one).
- oats – The oats help thicken the edible cookie dough dip a bit, while providing extra protein and fiber. As long as you use certified gluten free oats, this is also a vegan gluten free edible cookie dough.
- vanilla
- cinnamon
- almond milk
- chocolate chips (use vegan chocolate chips to keep this vegan).
Blending Tip
While not absolutely necessary, it does help if you peel the outer skin off of the chickpeas before adding them to the food processor.
How To Make Chickpea Edible Cookie Dough
I love making chickpea edible cookie dough as an easy thanksgiving treat for kids because it offers some nutrition and is exciting.
To make sweetpotato vegan cookie dough, first microwave your sweetpotatoes and let them cool. Once they cool, then peel off the skin.
Drain your beans and mix everything together (including the cooked sweetpotato) in a high speed blender or food processor.
Then just blend for 2-3 minutes, until it smoothes and reaches your desired consistency.
Another fun alternative to this healthy dessert dip with cottage cheese.
Other Tips and Storage
- Make sure to rinse your chickpeas – You can reduce the sodium by up to 25% by doing so in this chickpea edible cookie dough
- If the raw cookie dough dip seems dry at first, you can add some almond milk (by the tablespoon).
- Add the chocolate chips in last as a topping, or omit them if you want to reduce the sugar content.
- For the best flavor, I recommend 3-4 tablespoons of peanut butter. Do more if you like it creamier. There’s really no such thing as too much peanut butter.
- I like to store it in the fridge for 20-30 minutes before enjoying so it thickens up slightly.
- Store this in an airtight container or tupperware in the fridge for up to three days, or place in an airtight container or stasher bag and stick it in the freezer for up to 3 months.

The pumpkin risotto and sweet potato cookie dough are now on my “to do” list, Sarah. You prepare so well when you run – I’m very impressed
That’s perfectly encouraged 🙂
Pass some this way! Looks fantastic!
WOW I love you for posting this recipe….it looks amazing!!!!
For real this looks so freaking good, how do you not eat the whole thing! ha ha
I wouldn’t judge you if you did 🙂
Definitely going to try, sounds wonderful! Broke out the other loaf of bread with the blueberries I made from your previous recipe, and am really enjoying it! It satisfies my sweet tooth without actually being very sweet.
So glad you like the bread recipe, Sally. It’s one of my favorites! How is your recovery going?
Slowly, and what I need now is patience! I’m so used to being active. That’s the worst part of all this, however I know it will get better with time. Thanks for asking.
I am all about the cookie dough! <3! This looks amazing! *-*
One of my favorite things!
I think Sweet Potatoes are one of the more under-rated foods there is. Not only are they tastier than other
forms of starch, it is much healthier for you. Please post more ideas!
One of my favorite foods too!
This is so brilliant!!! I love the baking soda addition. I bet it really gives it the “cookie” taste.
Yes – it was a fun tip I saw elsewhere, I think it really helps!
Ah yeahhhhh. My three favorite things – sweet potato, chickpeas and chocolate – strikes again. Love the addition! I need good little friend gathering to serve this at.
RIght? Power combination!!
such a good idea! I love sweet potato anything so I know I would love this 🙂
Me toooo, hope you enjoy!
This looks so good! It could be a good way to get me into sweet potatoes since I’m not a huge fan.
Have you tried boiling vs mashing vs roasting? I really hope you like this one!
Cookie Dough is my weakness! YUM I can’t wait to try this, pinned for later 🙂
