You’re either going to love me or hate me…

…because when you make these, you won’t be able to stop eating them!

Kids love to help in the kitchen, and when you bake, they are drawn to the kitchen like a moth to a flame! A bowl of batter or cookie dough is so hard to resist. But, Chris is especially strict on the “no raw egg” rule for the kids, making the tradition of “licking the bowl” non-existent. (Well, for the kids, at least.) Occasionally, I’ll use a pasteurized product, like Egg Beaters, when baking with them, because sometimes the dough or batter is better than the final cookies or cake.

I came across a recipe that I tweaked a bit for frozen cookie dough balls that excludes eggs, making them the perfect treat to prepare with kids, and even better to eat!

“No-Egg” Frozen Cookie Dough Balls

1 cup butter, softened

1 1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 tablespoon water

1/8 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups flour

1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Cream butter, sugar and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir in vanilla, water, flour, salt, baking soda and chocolate chips. Roll into bite-sized balls. Place on baking sheet and freeze 1 to 2 hours.

If desired, melt chocolate candy coating and dip each dough ball into the chocolate to coat. Return dough balls to baking sheet and freeze 1 hour.

Store dough balls in air tight container in the refrigerator or freezer.

Enjoy!! 🙂
