What kid — or grownup for that matter — doesn’t want to lick the spoon after making a batch of chocolate chip cookies? While we don’t recommend that for obvious reasons (foods with raw flour and uncooked eggs are a definite no-no), this cookie dough dip is a fun treat that you eat straight from the bowl. In fact, that’s the point.

Even better, the main ingredient is actually really good for you. It’s made with a can of great Northern beans. That may sound strange but these white beans have a mild taste that easily takes on the flavor of what they’re combined with. They’re basically a blank slate. They also happen to blend nicely into a smooth, cookie-dough-like consistency. They are also great source of low-fat, plant-based protein and fiber, plus nutrients like B vitamins, potassium, iron, magnesium and others.

Served with sliced apples, this dip is excellent as after-school snack or party treat. While we don’t always advocate for hiding vegetables to get kids to eat healthy foods, our little taste-testers happily gobbled it up and didn’t even ask what was in it.
