Not only did my cousin Gina and I host a very successful cupcake table at a local holiday fair this weekend, but I also found a new, super-easy, treat to make...and ladies, you're all going to love it. I don't know how something this simple and delicious is legal, but somehow this wonder slipped through the legal cracks for lethal deliciousness:
Chocolate. Chip. Cookie. Dough. Bites.
Yes, that's right - it's finally okay to eat raw cookie dough! And even better....eat it covered in chocolate!
I saw a recipe for this on my newest obsession (pinterest) and then adapted it for my own purposes.
These taste amazing at room temperature, refrigerated or frozen. I'm nominating this as the Best Holiday Party Dessert of 2012.
Super easy! Here is the recipe:
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites
1 C. butter, softened
1 1/2 C. brown sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tbsp. water
2 C. flour
1/8 tsp. salt
3/4 C. chocolate chips
Additional chocolate for melting
Using an electric mixer, beat together butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add in salt. Add in vanilla. Add in flour a 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well in between each addition. Add in water and mix well. Fold chocolate chips in until they are evenly dispersed in the dough.
Roll dough into 1" balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Place in the freezer for ten minutes until firm.
Microwave chocolate in the microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until chocolate is smooth. Using a spoon, roll cookie dough balls in the chocolate and set on wax paper. When chocolate hardens, store in a plastic zip loc bag and store in the freezer.
Makes about 3 dozen bites.
