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.
P.S. Last reminder to enter the Healthy Snacks Giveaway
I believe these are also known as Speculoos cookies? I looked Lotus up online after getting a two-pack with my complementary coffee at my hairdresser’s: I was so impressed that they were like a smoother, more sophisticated Ginger Nut that I needed to know what they were urgently as I love them but they make my throat hurt for some reason, and the Lotus cookies didn’t!
The most recent two things I baked were Amanda@Run With Spoons’ Caramel Coconut Raisin Muffies (lovely) and Dreena@Vivelevegan’s Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (the special – and I mean special – ingredient is blackstrap molasses <3) … I love a good triple Belgian-and-white chocolate chunk cookie but I think a perfect oatmeal raisin cookie (ie – Dreena's) is my absolute favourite! :D
the cookies and the muffins you made sound great!
and i dont know Ginger Nuts? or Speculoos…sorry!
Omg these look so good! i want to make these asap and take them into my office!
I never would of thought of freezing something like this (although it makes perfect sense as I love cookie dough ice cream!), what a good idea! They look delicious1
Yum! I’ve never tried Biscoff cookies, but I may have heard of “Biscoff” spread when I was studying abroad in Europe. A couple of my friends bought the spread and was absolutely obsessed with it. I think they called it Teddy Graham flavor spread, haha. I’m going to have to go hunt for Biscoff cookies/spread now!
Ten minutes? I am sure I would have eaten some frozen and not even waited 10 minutes :)
I’ve never had a Biscoff cookie. But if they are like graham crackers/ginger/snickerdoodles? Sign me up!
Biscoff spread? I sense a new blogger trend coming on….
You’d love them! The gluten issue though. But knowing how similar our tastes are…you would go crazy for them!
Yes, the spread is already a mini trend on some of the baking blogs I read.
I have never seen Biscoffs in my local grocery stores before. I will have to look more closely. I wonder if maybe they don’t sell these in Canada …
They are really growing in popularity! Did you see the Biscoff balls I posed a few weeks back? I used coconut flour and they were fantastic! It’s actually on their website now: https://biscoffblog.com/recipes/biscoff-cookie-dough-balls/
no I didnt see that! congrats on the recipe/positive press over there!
Such a neat marriage of cooked and raw cookies. Love the pics, especially the ones where you can see the chomp marks! You are so creative, and I love it when you share recipes. If not just for the photos. I have never had the cookies you are talking about, but I have gone through my phase of ginger cream cookies! There was a coffee shop in Calgary that made the BIGGEST ginger bread cookies ever, stuck two of them together with cream cheese frosting, and made me swoon. I got one once a week for over a year. They even made me a really big four layer one for my birthday, and they iced happy birthday on the top of it! I can totally understand your love of your favorite cookies. Also, every girl goes through a peanut butter phase, and some of us just never grow out of it. What do you think it is about peanut butter that is so irresistible?!
thank you so much
“You are so creative, and I love it when you share recipes. If not just for the photos. ”
And i look fwd to reading your post tomorrow from your training this weekend.
<3
Did you know that biscoff has a “biscoff bites” recipe on their site, too. Theirs and yours both look scrumptious, cuz when it comes to balls and bites; the more the merrier!
I just ran into your blog and I love it! The photography is incredible and the food looks delicious. I want to eat it all!
thanks for the compliments & for finding me!
Haha…I fly Delta JUST for the Biscoffs :-) I would LOVE these…
glad Im not the only one who flies delta JUST for the biscoffs!
I fly all the time for work and 99% of it on Delta (it pays to stick with one airline…major perks :)) I hoard Biscoffs like it’s my job. When I get upgraded to first, I specifically ask for extra ones just to take home!
These no bake balls look amazing. I love all your ball recipes <–there's no way to say that without it sounding horrible, haha. Can't wait to try this one with my stash ;)
glad Im not the only one who asks for extras and hoards like it’s their job. figure it’s the least the airlines can do given the “royal treat” that air travel is these days. sorry you have to fly all the time!
I have never had a biscoff– but if you can make them into a spread, what could we do with homemade chocolate chips (or any flavor) cookies?! I swoon at the possibilities ;).
ok what possibilities are you swooning at?
choc chip cookie dough balls?
have those
https://www.loveveggiesandyoga.com/2009/10/raw-vegan-chocolate-chip-cookie-dough.html
biscoff spread bites with choc chips? That’s easy. Remove the PB from this recipe and use the spread instead!
I mean like making a spread out of chocolate chip cookies!
Awesome! Never had these before…I need to check it out!

I recently tried Biscoff spread for the first time (won it in a giveaway actually!!) and it was love at first spoonful. Oh yeah, didn’t even let anything get in the way :) I don’t normally fly delta, but I know I have something to look forward to if I ever do!
