A couple of friends of mine came over the other night. One of them is 9 months pregnant. We made dinner for our guys who were putting in a 12 foot dormer in the roof line of her house. Before the guys got back to our place we decided we needed to make something for dessert. After all our men had been working oh so hard all day. Whatever. We wanted dessert.... and SHE wanted it now.
We searched Pinterest for something fast, easy, chocolatey, and preferably didn't need to be cooked. Everything we wanted contained peanut butter. But I was out; there was but one measly little teaspoon left in the bottom of the jar. We HAD to find something else.... to either put her into labor or keep her from labor, I'm not sure.
This is what we came up with...
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Covered in Chocolate!
You don’t need to add baking soda, since these won’t be going into the oven – if you’re going to bake them, add 1 tsp. baking soda to the flour.
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
pinch salt
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars for a minute or two, until fluffy; add the eggs and vanilla and beat again. Add the flour and salt and beat until almost combined; add half the chocolate chips and beat on low speed or stir just until blended.
Shape the dough into large marble-sized balls and place them on an un-greased baking sheet, then refrigerate or freeze until firm.
Melt the rest of the chocolate chips in a bowl in the microwave, or a small pot over low heat on the stovetop (careful it doesn’t burn!) – dip the balls of dough, using a fork if you want to coat them completely. Set them on a sheet of parchment or foil and let sit (or refrigerate) until firm.
Makes lots.
