¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup dark chocolate chips

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

If your peanut butter and/or honey are firm, warm them for 15 seconds in the microwave in a heat-safe container to make them easier to stir.
Add the ingredients to a medium bowl. Stir well with a spoon to make a batter that is evenly combined.
Portion out 1 tablespoon-size balls of dough and serve or store in the fridge as a future dessert.

Notes

Store the Cookie Dough for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature.
Use mini chocolate chips or full-size ones. I prefer to chop up full size ones so there's a more even distribution of chocolate throughout.
Use 1 cup all-purpose flour instead of the almond flour if you prefer. You MUST warm it in a heat-safe bowl in the microwave until it reaches 165 degrees F with an instant read thermometer to make it safe to consume.
Use melted unsalted butter in place of the peanut butter to make this nut-free.
Use raisins instead of chocolate chips if you'd like.
Look for dairy-free chocolate chips from brands including Guittard, Nestle Toll House, Enjoy Life Foods, and Ghirardelli.
