I have made this recipe a couple of times and it is pretty darn yummy. Most people like chocolate chip cookies, I know that I for one have bought the tube of cookie dough from the grocery store and eaten the entire thing raw. Never in one sitting of course, that would never, uh... never mind.
The original recipe comes from the Recipe Zaar and can be found here, the site itself can be useful. Just remember to favorite your finds or e-mail them to yourself, trying to find them again later can be painful. Oh, and I don't know Heather personally, but I like to think that with a recipe like this that we could be pals.
Heather's Safe to Eat Raw Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
1 cup salted butter, room temp
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 3.4 oz box instant vanilla pudding
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda (optional)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 cups chocolate chips
Cream butter and sugar until light in color. Add in dry pudding and mix well. Stir in milk and vanilla. Add in baking soda if you choose. Add in flour 1/2 cup at a time mixing well after each addition. Mix in chocolate chips.
Roll the dough into balls and store in the fridge or freezer. Can be added into ice cream or frozen yogurt. Or you could just eat one each time you walk past the fridge.
A few things I may have changed or noticed along the way:
The original recipe calls for a 3.5 oz box of instant pudding, the instant pudding my store sells, both Jell-O and store brand, are all 3.4 oz. I have only ever made this with fat fee milk, I am sure you can make it with whatever you have on hand. I can't bring myself to not add the baking soda, you add it in baked chocolate chip cookies why not the unbaked? Two cups of chocolate chips is a lot in this recipe, after I added them in I remembered that I thought I should have cut it back a bit last time. The recipe is great as is, sometimes I just like a bite without a chocolate chip. Best bet is to add a cup or a cup and a half stir it up and see what you think, no harm done.
Up above in the picture, you can see that I dipped some of my dough and made truffles. Oy. Last time I made them I used Hershey's bars I believe, I do not recommend that. The Hershey's chocolate sweats or gathers condensation or the weather affected it and it wasn't pretty. I used chocolate melts this time and they have been in the refrigerator for about an hour, a few more minutes and I will see how they fared. Sweat or no sweat? Oh, the melts worked much better no sweat, condensation or whatever. I hope it wasn't the weather and the Hershey's people don't yell at me.
The best part of this recipe is that it says it makes serves 30, which is pretty open to interpretation. I got 42 bite size treats.
Now I am off to package them up and send them off to my guinea pigs, er, I mean the guys that Tim works with.
