Cookie dough MADE for eating not baking, with a double dose of chocolate and tangy juicy raspberries. The perfect vegan paleo sweet treat ready in minutes!
No matter how many cookies I bake and how deliciously amazing they are…COOKIE DOUGH. I will probably always love the dough at least twenty-seven times more.
I don’t know if it’s because it tastes like breaking the rules. Or if it’s because you don’t have to wait for the oven to preheat or the cookies to cool. Or if it’s the soft spoon-able texture contrasted by the snap of un-melted chocolate chips. Or if it’s all of the above.
But I do know that it doesn’t matter why – facts are facts.
And the best fact is, you are minutes away from the yummiest un-baked chocolate treat!
We’ve done cookie dough around here a time or two. But this is the best version yet. Hands down. No question. Not afraid to play favorites.
Here’s what we’re working with:
- Applesauce. The unsweetened stuff, and yes you can make your own.
- SunButter. Or you can use other nut/seed butters, but SunButter is my favorite.
- Maple syrup. Or honey or agave would work too.
- Coconut flour. The best flour for no-bake things in my opinion. You can try oat flour, but the texture won’t be as fluffy/cakey/magical.
- Cacao powder. Or cocoa powder is fine.
- Salt. Because chocolate things are so much better with.
- Chocolate chips. I used mini and regular, just for fun. Chunks would be yummy too!
- Raspberries. Fresh is best (frozen will be too juicy), and yes strawberries or blueberries would be AMAZING too.
The key is to be gentle when mixing – some minor raspberry smushing is okay, but don’t annihilate the poor things.
Scoop it like ice cream or roll into balls, and then (you don’t have to but I highly recommend) chill it for an hour or two.
And when you get that bite with just the right ratio of soft dough, two (maybe three) chocolate chips, and a nice juicy hunk of half a berry…nothing better.
Happy Double Chocolate Raspberry Cookie Dough no-baking to you!

Yuumm!! Have you tested this subbing the applesauce with mashed sweet potato? Do you think it might work? I love your recipes! 🙂
★★★★★
That would work! It’s a little more dense so may make the texture less light, but will still be delicious😋
Chocolate and raspberry are such a delicious combo Natalie! That opening pour shot I wish was going directly into my mouth, LOL. I’ve made the chocolate and raspberry combo in brownies but never in a cookie dough and I can only imagine how delicious that would be! I love how intensely dark chocolate it looks too. I love how you say “don’t annihilate the poor things.” hahaha I know right, those things sure to break down easily and turn kind of mushy. They are so beautiful but are rather delicate little fruit. I try to be careful when serving them in a fruit bowl to Olivia for that reason, so they aren’t slimy soggy. I bet scoops of this cookie dough would be delicious in little bite size pieces mixed into vanilla ice cream, YUM!
Oh yes love this combo in brownie form too, but everything deserves a cookie dough rendition dontcha think haha. I may have a minor obsession with cookie dough😆 Someone mentioned the idea to use freeze dried berries which would solve the smushing issue, but honestly I kinda loved the little juicy pockets. Mmm yes, love the ice cream topping idea! Cookie dough + vanilla ice cream is forever one of my very favorite things❤️ Hope you are having a happy weekend!
When cookie dough is legit healthy enough to become an every day snack you know you’ve struck gold! Can’t wait to dig into a mound of this with a glass of almond milk – or if I’m feeling indulgent – hot chocolate!
AND when it fools you into thinking it’s ice cream at first glance…definitely gold🙌 Hahaha! Mmm yes, it definitely deserves almond milk on the side. Hope you are having a happy weekend Ashley💕
I am seriously always blown away with your creativity with your recipes!!! I can’t tell you how many times I read a blog post and then immediately head to my kitchen to make the recipe 🙂 will definitely be making this ASAP! Also, you’ve gotten me obsessed with Sunbutter lately 🙂
YES!! Not sure which makes me happier, the recipe love or the sunbutter obsession🤗🤗 Isn’t it the most amazing stuff!?
Such a great recipe! Thanks for sharing this 🙂 I´m chocolate addicted and I definitely have to make this chocolate cookie dough yuuum And your pictures look absolutely amazing!
Have a wonderful day 🙂
It’s quite chocolatey, so hopefully will hit the spot for you too! And so easy, that’s why I love it🤗 Thanks for checking it out Melanie, and let me know if you give it a try!
Loved these! Made with half almond butter and half sunbutter. Used dried cherries since I ahd some I wanted to use up. Yummy! Who needs fancy Godiva chocolate when we eat something so delicious, so much cheaper, and so much more nutritious?

Mmmm I love the sound of your version, gotta try that cherry swap🍒 Right?! I tend to mindlessly chow through straight chocolate bars way to fast too, this is better in so many ways😋😂
My husband and I love this recipe! We’ve missed chocolate snacks/desserts the most since switching to vegan/whole food plant based and this recipe really hits the spot. Such chocolately goodness it’s hard to not grab a spoonful every time we walk by the fridge. We’ve also made it without adding any fruit and love it.
Aw yay!! I am so happy to hear you guys are loving this one, one of my faves too. Haha totally relate to the irresistibly, especially when I chop it into little bite sized pieces…whole batch gone in 2 days tops😂 Thanks for the feedback Christy!
I don’t recommend a loaf pan since that will make the batter much thicker and the center may not bake through properly, but you could use a round or square cake pan (8-9 inch). Just add 5 minutes or so to the bake time 🙂
