I don’t find air travel exciting, fun, or glamorous.
In fact, I find it to be one big cattle call steeped in chaos and stress at best, and nearly a strip search and patdowns at worse at the security checkpoints.
The only thing that makes air travel better is when I find out I may be flying Delta airlines.
Why?
Because I love Biscoff cookies!
Up until recently it was nearly impossible to score Biscoffs unless you were flying Delta
That’s been changed and you can now order them online or there are certain grocery stores that carry them.
Maybe some of you are just as Biscoff-crazed as I am.
If you’ve never had a Biscoff, I’d say it’s a marriage of a ginger snap cookie and a graham cracker and a crispy molasses cookie with the best blend of spices, seasonings, and crunch. Love them.
And you can order or buy Biscoff spread now, too.
To.Die.For
If you really don’t want to order Biscoffs and can’t buy them in your area, you can use graham crackers or ginger snaps in this recipe.
Enter the No Bake Peanut Butter Biscoff Cookie Dough Bites
It’s no secret I love peanut butter recipes
And so I combined those two loves into this recipe
I also have a thing for no-bake cookie dough bites and balls
Because I’d much prefer to no-bake than actually turn on my oven and bake
Unbaking just means it will be a shorter amount of time before I can dig into the finished product!
It took me about 10 minutes, tops, to make these.
I’d rather sink my teeth in sooner rather than later.
Wouldn’t you?
Because who doesn’t love raw cookie dough?
And peanut butter cookie dough spiked with chocolate chips and Biscoffs really hit the spot.
These bites taste like real peanut butter cookie dough and since they are vegan you can eat as many of these raw dough balls as your little heart desires.
These are what I mentioned I was creating
[print_this]
No Bake Peanut Butter Biscoff Cookie Dough Bites (Vegan, almost GF, see notes for easy adaptation)
1/3 c cashews (unsalted, and raw if possible)
1/3 c oats (whole rolled oats, not quick cook)
1/3 c Biscoff Cookies (or graham crackers or ginger snaps, see notes below)
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 c peanut butter
2 tbsp agave or maple syrup (or combination)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 to 1/3 c chocolate chips
Yields: approximately 16-18 bites
Directions: Add cashews, oats, and Biscoffs to Vita-Mix or food processor and grind into a fine powder. Then, add brown sugar, peanut butter, agave, and vanilla extract, and blend again. Remove dough from Vita and place into a bowl. Add chocolate chips and stir them in by hand. Roll balls by hand and place in refrigerator or freezer for storage. Will keep for week(s)/month(s) in the freezer.
Notes:
If you don’t have Biscoff cookies, use graham crackers or ginger snap cookies
If you don’t have cashews/oats, I’m sure that most other types of flour will work (almond, wheat, pastry, white, etc.) in place of grinding cashews/oats into flour
To make this entire recipe Gluten Free, use:
GF graham crackers such as these
Or
Use 1/3 c cashews + 2/3 c oats and omit the Biscoff/Graham crackers entirely
Tips:
If dough is soft or difficult to work with, refrigerate/freeze for 20 minutes prior to forming into balls.
If the dough is too dry, add more peanut butter or agave, a small drizzle at a time.
If the dough is too wet, add more brown sugar or more dry ingredients, i.e. crush another Biscoff or graham cracker and stir it in
[/print_this]
Gather your ingredients
Add the dry ingredients to your Vita or food proc
Blend.
Add the remaining ingredients. Blend again.
Stir in chocolate chips by hand and roll into balls.
Easy!
These are just as good as they sound
With chomp marks to prove it
I mentioned in the past that I store all my dessert bites and balls in the freezer
I had these in the freezer in advance of their big photo shoot debut and here’s what they looked like coming right out of the freezer
And here they were 5 minutes later
It really does not take long at all for them to come up to room temperature
In 10 minutes, they were ready to munch
I have other versions of peanut butter cookie dough bites:
No-Bake Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls (with a High Protein Option, & GF)
and
Raw Vegan Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Balls (GF)
and
Raw Vegan Peanut Butter Vanilla Balls (or Sunflower Seed/Almond/Cashew Butter, & GF)
See, I told you I love peanut butter recipes!
Questions:
1. Have you ever tried Biscoffs?
Yes, and it was love at first bite about 10+ years ago!
It’s only recently that I don’t have to beg flight attendants on Delta flights for extra and then put them in my purse so I can bring them home for a rainy day stash. Yes, I love them that much.
2. Do you like graham crackers, gingerbread cookies, molasses cookies? Fave kind of cookie overall?
I say that I love peanut butter and chocolate, and I really do.
But, when a gingerbread or molasses (or snickerdoodle or oatmeal raisin cookie) is done right, (i.e. soft in the middle, chewy overall, with barely hardened edges, and the flavor is spot on) there is nothing better!
3. Any no-bake cookie bites/balls recipe requests?
I may have already made it (I have about 30+ different ball/bite recipes in this post) but let me know. I’m up for a challenge. I think.

I’ve only had biscoff cookies on flights — they sure are tasty dipped in coffee!
I love these — and the picture of your bite marks is awesome!
you’re the only one who’s mentioned the bite marks and I TRIED to do that…so thanks for noticing :)
These look absolutely amazing, so creative! And your pictures are amazing, great color and composition!
1. No, I don’t think I ever have. Gasp, I know!
2. Yes, very much.
3. Something with Red Vines. :-P
thanks re “pictures are amazing, great color and composition!” — you make dessert balls too so you know it can be hard to get the proper composition on something small and well…raw isn’t always
“pretty”.. so thanks for saying that :)
and biscoffs are vegan!
Kath always blogs about her love of Biscoff! She also has the spread. Reading about Biscoff on her blog made me want to fly Delta just to try them! Haha!
I know she’s a major fan too!
Biscoffs are one of the main reasons I love flying Delta too! :D
I actually used to buy the original spread, Speculoos, and have it shipped to the states! This was years ago, I first had it on vacation and have loved it since.
These sound great, I may have to give them a try.
Oh I only recently tried Biscoffs for the first time. They were randomly out for sample at the grocery store so I gave Meghan one. She immediately asked for another and then another so I finally tried one. I agree–they are amazing!
and they’re vegan…didnt even know that til today!
I love those cookies! I stock pile them whenever I fly! :)
I had some of those cookies on my last flight, and yes, they are good. I’m a fan. My favorite way to enjoy them is to dunk the edges into hot, sweet, black tea that’s been spiked with some cream. Yum!
Girl these are fun dough bites!! Dang your blog is looking fresh & fabulous. I am digging all of your new updates. Shows off your recipes & photos so much better. Have a great rest of the weekend! xo
thanks for the kind words.
fresh updates and staying on top of all this maintenance stuff is a pain in the moment but worth it in the end :)
nice work, averie! the biscoff fans will adore this invention!
i’ve never had biscoff! and i am wondering why because we flew delta at least once to aruba, over the years – either i didn’t know what it was, at the time, or we were not offered any???…unfortunately, i’m not that much of a fan of molasses/ginger/graham cracker cookies…but since your recipe contains CHOCOLATE CHIPS, my interest is suddenly very high!!! add chocolate chips to pretty much anything and i am in!
enjoy the rest of your sunday!
My local rite aid sells biscoff cookies! Both a blessing and a curse… I always keep my doughballs frozen- makes them harder to eat too many at once! Hahaha. My favorite cookie lately is at whole foods, they make them and sell individually by the muffins called “vegan molasses cookie” everything your soft centered crispy edged spice loving self could ever want….
TJ’s makes their own version that taste pretty much the same. At 5 buck instead of the almost 8 at the grocery store I think it’s an amazing find!
are you talking about the spread or the cookies or what?
what’s the product name at TJs and I will look for it.
They’re called Trader Joe’s Bistro Biscuits. It’s a light green bag with a cup of coffee and the cookie on the cover. Kind of addicting lol!
I’m all over it. Thank you! I think I’ve seen them before but never paid much attention. I will now!
LOL glad to be of help!
I guess I’ve never had that brand period. I hate flying. Hate everything about it. I get super anxious, claustrophobic, panic attack. All bad.
Oh I LOVE Biscoff cookies. I clearly remember the days when you could only get them on a Delta flight. That was one more reason I was always excited to fly home on breaks during college. :) These sound and look so darn good–I’m drooling over here!
thanks Lauren :)
Averie: these look so yummy! And Biscoff cookies are actually vegan to begin with!
omg I just read the label on the Biscoff site and you’re right, they are. I thought for sure there were trace eggs in them, but no.
https://www.biscoff.com/DirectionsWEB/webcart_static.php?file=static_nutrition.html
So I changed the recipe/text in my post. Yay, already vegan. And a very easy tweak to make GF.
Thanks for the heads up!!!!!
Oh yum! Maybe I am crazy, but I have never had a biscoff cookie before! I know I know, I am missin out! But If I ever fly delta, I’ll be sure to get one!! :) these look Soo good! I love no bake balls! They are the perfect snack!
You have some awesome nobake ball recipes too!
