Cookie Dough Recipes

Cookie dough makes me feel like a messy girl with pigtails, beaters, and a big grin - all over again! I love cupcake batter, but cookie dough is in a class of its own.

Note: Pregnant women should refrain from eating cookie dough due to raw eggs in it. (although - there are some debates about the dangers of eating raw egg.)

What to Do With Raw Cookie Dough

There are countless things to do with raw cookie dough. Some ideas are:

• Mix it with vanilla ice cream for your own homemade cookie dough ice cream.
• Swirl it in with fudge for some cookie dough fudge.
• Spread a layer of it in between two cakes instead of frosting. This would be awesome with cheesecake.
• Just leave it sitting around with a spoon and eat some periodically.
• Make cookie dough cupcakes

Raw Cookie Dough Recipe

Note: To make it egg-less, I used milk to replace the moisture from the eggs. It worked perfectly!

• 2 C all-purpose flour
• 1/2 t salt
• 3/4 C unsalted butter, melted
• 1 C packed brown sugar
• 1/2 C white sugar
• 1 T vanilla extract
• 4 T milk
• Any amount of any mix-in you'd like - t chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit would all work.

1. Mix all ingredients in a big bowl. That's it!

If you are not pregnant then you could go for the ordinary cookie dough recipe also known as "the ultimate mind blowing cake". I adopted this recipe from tidymom.net and it never fails to make me forget my name (its that delicious)
