Try dipping them in a little sugar-free chocolate and letting it harden for a bliss ball truffle moment. Chef’s kiss! - Portable Power-Up:
Toss a couple in a snack bag for school, work, the gym… or let’s be real, the carpool line.
Tips & FAQs
Are bliss balls actually healthy?
Yes, they can be! Bliss balls are often packed with good-for-you ingredients like nuts, seeds, coconut, and natural sweeteners (like dates or sugar-free syrups). They’re full of fiber, healthy fats, and sometimes even protein. But like all snacks, it depends on what’s inside—and how many you munch on in one go. Homemade versions (like our dehydrated cookie dough bliss balls) give you total control over the ingredients, making them way healthier than some of the high-sugar store-bought kinds.
Can you roll cookie dough into balls?
Totally! Rolling cookie dough into balls is kind of a baking 101 move. It helps give you evenly-sized portions (perfect for even baking or dehydrating). For edible cookie dough or bliss ball recipes, rolling into balls also makes for cute, easy-to-grab snacks. Just scoop, roll, and pop them on a tray—no stress.
How do you make bliss balls?
Bliss balls are basically no-bake magic! Here’s a quick how-to:
- Blend nuts, seeds, or oats with a sticky sweetener like dates or syrup.
- Toss in flavor extras—think cocoa, cinnamon, coconut, or protein powder.
- Pulse in a food processor until the mixture sticks together.
- Roll into small bite-sized balls (pro tip: slightly damp hands = less stickiness).
- Chill in the fridge or dehydrate for a chewy, long-lasting snack.
That’s it! You can customize them however you like. Vegan? Protein-packed? Go for it.
How do you turn dough into balls (without making a mess)?
Great question—and here’s the simple trick:
- Once your dough is the right consistency (it should stick together but not to your hands), use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion it out evenly.
- Lightly wet your hands or rub a tiny bit of coconut oil on your palms, then roll the dough gently into smooth, compact balls.
- Line them up on a tray, chill them in the fridge, or pop them in the dehydrator. Done and dusted!
Perfect for cookie dough, bliss balls, or any no-bake energy bites.

Note
When I first made these Dehydrated Cookie Dough Bliss Balls, I wasn’t sure what the fam would think. My husband raised an eyebrow (classic), and my kids asked if they were “real treats” or “mom’s healthy stuff.” But the moment they took a bite—boom. Silence... then smiles. My youngest actually asked if we could have them instead of cookies now. My husband? He packed three in his work bag “just in case.” Honestly, seeing them devour something that’s secretly packed with goodness? That’s the win. These are officially a family favorite—and yes, I now have to hide a stash.
