Combine the cashew butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, flour, and 1/2 cup mini dark chocolate chips.

Melt the remaining dark chocolate and coconut oil in a bowl or over a double boiler.

Microwave - if you choose to go the microwave route, simply microwave the chocolate in short intervals (think: 15-20 seconds), stirring after each stint, until melted.

Double Boiler - if you choose to melt your chocolate over a double boiler, you’ll need to heat a pot of water over the stovetop until boiling, and then place the chocolate chips + coconut oil in a glass or metal heatproof bowl over the top of the pot with the water. Then, using a rubber spatula, simply stir the chocolate until it’s melted, scraping the sides of the bowl as you go!

Scoop one tablespoon of the dough, then dip in the dark chocolate to coat. You should have about 20 cookie dough bites.

Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let set, then enjoy!
