Edible Keto Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

This Edible Keto Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is my 5th Girl Scout cookie that I have made into a deliciously creamy gluten-free and sugar-free edible cookie dough.  Ribbons of salty caramel swirled throughout a delicious cookie dough with scattered chocolate chips throughout, this edible cookie dough is the perfect way to enjoy the Caramel Chocolate Chip Girl Scout cookie without all the added sugar!

 

 

Everyone in my office has recently been obsessing about the Girl Scout Cookies.

Whether it be Samoas, Thin Mints, Do-Si-Dos or any other of their popular flavours, it seems that everyone has a favourite.

What's my favourite?

Thin Mints....no, definitely the peanut butter flavoured Do-Si-Dos...actually maybe the chocolate coconut Samoas...

If you are like me, it is very hard to pick a favourite!

Having been disciplined and walking by the adorable little Girl Scout faces and politely saying "No Thank-you" as they ask if I would like to buy any of their cookies, I was very proud of how well I had resisted the temptations.

Until this Saturday!

Having dreamt about eating the cookies on Friday night, I woke up with an absolute burning desire to eat some of these delectable treats.

Not knowing where to find these cookie-selling-munchkins, I decided to see if Google would be able to help.

Low and behold, I actually found out that you can track the location of the Girl Scouts by simply entering your zip code.

According to the website, cookies were being sold right under my nose, exactly 2 miles away!

I quickly got on my shoes and headed down to their location only to get there and to not find a Girl Scout anywhere in sight.

I checked Google again and realized that I was an entire day early!

Determined to get some Girl Scout Cookies, I started thinking that if they only sold the cookies in "dough" form, I could get cookies whenever I pleased.

And that's when the lightning struck!

Why not make edible, gluten-free and keto Girl Scout cookie dough?!!

After successfully completing the gluten-free and keto version of the Girl Scout Thin Mints, Samoas, Do-Si-So and Tagalongs,  I set off to make a 5th flavour, Caramel Chocolate Chip cookie dough.

 

 

Who created the Girl Scouts and When?

According to Wikipedia, Girl Scouting in the United States of America began on March 12, 1912, when Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low organized the first Girl Guide troop meeting of 18 girls in Savannah, Georgia.

It has since grown to 3.7 million members.

Low dreamed of giving the United States and the world "something for all the girls." She envisioned an organization that would bring girls out of their homes to serve their communities, experience the out-of-doors, and have the opportunity to develop "self-reliance and resourcefulness." From its inception, the Girl Scouts has been organized and run exclusively by women, for girls and women.

 

 

 

When did the Girl Scouts start selling cookies?

Girl Scout cookie sales started as early as 1917, five years after the Girl Scouts were founded. In the 1920s and 1930s, Scouts would bake their own sugar cookies and sell them door to door. In 1936, the Girl Scouts licensed the first commercial baker to start making Girl Scout cookies.

 

 

 

What are the Girl Scout Cookie Flavours?

• Lemon-Ups - tangy lemon-icing-topped shortbread cookies
• Thin Mints - mint-flavoured cookies with a delicious chocolaty coating
• Samoas - caramel and toasted coconut-covered cookies
• Tagalongs - a layer of peanut butter with a rich chocolaty coating
• Do-si-dos - crisp and crunchy oatmeal on the outside and creamy peanut butter inside
• Trefoils - a simple shortbread cookie
• Thanks-A-Lot - tasty shortbread cookies with fudge on the bottom
• Toffee-tastic - indulgently rich, buttery cookies with sweet, crunchy golden toffee bits
• S'mores - crunchy graham sandwich cookies with creamy chocolate and marshmallowy filling
• Caramel Chocolate Chip - caramel, sea salt and chocolate chips form this crunchy cookie

 

 

 

What's special about the Caramel Chocolate Chip Girl Scout cookie?

This decadent new treat features rich caramel, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and a hint of sea salt in a chewy cookie. Along with the return of the Toffee-tastic, which was introduced to the cookie lineup in 2015, the Caramel Chocolate Chip is an additional gluten-free option in the 2019 collection

 

What ingredients do you need to make this Edible Keto Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough?

• almond flour
• coconut oil
• almond milk
• sweetener (I use Lakanto Sugar)
• peanut butter
• maple syrup (I use Lakanto Maple Syrup)
• caramel extract
• chocolate chips (I use Lily's which are sugar-free)
• salt and vanilla

 

 

 

How do you make the caramel ribbons for this Edible Keto Caramel Cookie Dough?

For the Caramel Swirl:

• Heat in the microwave for 20 seconds or until peanut butter has melted
• Add in a dash of caramel extract
• Stir and set aside

 

 

 

How do you make this Gluten-Free Edible Keto Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough?

• In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the coconut oil and the sweetener
• Add in the vanilla, almond milk and salt and stir (don't worry if it does not fully mix together)
• Stir in the almond flour
• In a small dish, melt the peanut butter with the maple syrup and microwave for 20 seconds or until the peanut butter has melted
• Stir in the caramel extract
• Swirl the peanut butter throughout the cookie dough
• Place the mixture in the fridge for 10-20 minutes or until it slightly hardens
• Shape into round bite-size pieces if desired

 

How do you store this Edible Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Since there is almond milk, the cookie dough needs to be stored in the fridge.  It can be stored for 5 days.  If it is too hard when you take it out of the fridge, simply place it in the microwave for 10 seconds or until it is the softness you desire.

You can also store these in the freezer for up to 3 months

 

 

 

 

Can I use regular sugar instead of sweetener?

You can absolutely replace the sweetener with sugar in a direct 1:1 ratio.  Taste the mixture and add any additional sugar if desired.

You can also use regular maple syrup as well as chocolate chips.

 

Can I use regular all-purpose flour?

You can use all-purpose flour to make this cookie dough but since all-purpose flour can contain E. Coli, you first need to bake it on a sheet pan at 350 degrees for about 5-7 minutes
