Today I wanted to share how to make cookie dough. Cookie dough is my absolute favorite thing to eat in the world. I know you are not suppose to eat it raw but I am guilty x10. When I was in college, I lived with my grandmother (my mom’s mom) for a brief period in Florida and we always watched TV at night and ate Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie dough. She loved it as much as me, maybe even more. Last weekend the kids and I made chocolate chip cookie dough bars and I must say, it brought me back to those days as a kid in Florida with my gram. I swear she sits on my shoulder as my angel from heaven and says, “have some for me!!!” 😉
My absolute favorite dessert on the planet.

I usually add more vanilla as I prefer taste but feel free to use less if you don’t care for it. I always add an extra 1/2 – 1 tsp. This dough would also be perfect for valentines day using a heart cookie cutter. These bars lasted about 2 hours and only because I made everyone wait until after I took pictures. Now that you know how to make cookie dough, would you use chocolate chips or another candy? M&M’s are perfect too!

Would these not be considered chocolate chip cookies once you bake them?
Not really Karen as they turn out thicker like a bar, as opposed to a thinner round cookie. Try it and enjoy!

Thanks Rachel for stopping by!
My daughter has made them twice and they are yummy, especially with a scoop of ice cream on top. Just like a pazookie without the high cost. There is a batch in the oven as I type this with white chocolate chips and coconut. Wish we had macadamia nuts, but they will still be delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
