Calling All Cookie Dough Lovers
Everyone knows the best part about making cookies doesn’t even involve the oven. And while eating raw dough is not recommended, we’ve all done it at some point. Who can resist the sweet, buttery temptation? We knew there had to be a safer way, so the Food Network Kitchen chefs came up with five eggless recipes that are 100 percent safe to lick right off the spatula — or mix into ice cream or milkshakes. Raw dough lovers, rejoice.
It your family has a soft spot for cookie dough ice cream, try whipping up a batch of this eggless recipe to fold into your favorite vanilla ice cream. You can even get the kids involved: Both big and little kids can help measure and fold in the chocolate chips.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon fine salt
½ cup packed light brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
½ teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
1/3 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips
Directions
Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl and set aside.
Beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, yogurt and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until well incorporated. (Turn off the beaters and use your hands to help combine if needed.) Fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula or mix them in with your hands.
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
