It was one of those weekends.
Girls, you know the ones. All you want is chocolate, but pure chocolate isn't enough. You need something more. Cookie Dough is really the only thing that will help you out. And now I bring to you the saving grace of Pinterest in helping me find this blog. And this awesome page gave me just what I needed.
This chocolate chip cookie dough ready-and-safe-to-eat has been the best I've tried so far. I've had 3 other types, but this was the most similar to real cookie dough, without the eggs. It was definitely the most tasty and didn't leave me wanting something different like the others had.
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt (a few people have found this to be too much; if you want, just add a pinch and increase to taste. I add the full 1/2 teaspoon and enjoy it!)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (again, you might want to add this a teaspoon at a time to taste. I add the full tablespoon and enjoy it!)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
water
Directions:
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in the flour, salt, vanilla and chocolate chips. Add water one tablespoon at a time (stirring between each) until the dough reaches cookie dough consistency. Honestly though, not much water is needed and you really need to put in just a little each time and mix it thoroughly before adding more or it will become far too liquidy.
This recipe yields a TON of cookie dough. The blog I got this from said 1 1/2-2 cups... I think it's more. I halved the recipe and my husband and I still had too much to finish and had to save some. And I love cookie dough. If it's for yourself, I suggest halving or quartering it even.
