Chocolate Cookie Dough Balls

I love raw cookie dough. I would rather eat it raw than baked into a cookie. I know that probably seems really weird. But if you are like me, than this cookie dough recipe will be sure to satisfy.

Chocked full of protein, these cookie dough balls are a great snack option. 

I love how they satisfy my sweet tooth and provide me with great nutrients.
