egg-free cookie dough | Bakers Anonymous

My dearest Bakers Anonymous family, I can’t even begin to express how crazy of a week this has been. And it’s only Saturday.

Sure, I’m going to spend this day doing laundry and a million other miscellaneous things, but this one day, this Saturday for which I’ve been waiting the entire week is finally here. Thank you, Jesus. So, let’s check out some baked things.

Starting with the healthy stuff, check out this recipe for homemade granola from Krissy’s Creations. I do love granola bars (especially the ones from Sunbelt. Have you ever had those? There’s COCONUT in them. OMG, I die) and now I can easily make my own! What’s that? I hear applause for no preservatives. And this recipe lasts for a month! A MONTH!

Switching gears, how about some chocolate chip cookie dough billionaire bars from the BrownEyedBaker? Made with egg-free cookie dough, this bar is a multi-layered treat featuring shortbread crust, caramel, cookie dough and a chocolate glaze! Not for the faint of heart.

Have a birthday party coming up? Try making this “perfectly delightful” vanilla birthday cake from Sweetapolita. You can do any color variation and it will taste (and look) amazing!

Or, if you’re in the mood for just some delicious cake, use this chocolate chip banana cake recipe from Bakers Royale. It comes with cream cheese frosting! You know you want to.

And, if you’re in the mood for banana cake, but don’t want the “guilt,” try one of these banana pudding cupcakes from Confessions of a Cookbook Queen. It’s topped with mounds of fluffy, white frosting and filled with banana pudding. Umm, yes please.

I’m off to go to do laundry or maybe something else productive. Who knows? - Niki

You know those days that are all humid and gross and there’s nothing you can do to keep your hair straight and it just curls right back up even though you don’t like your hair like that?

Yeah. May has been kind of like that. Darn you, naturally curly hair.

With that in mind, when the weather is humid, not only do I get uber grumpy about my hair, but I also don’t want to bake anything. And I most CERTAINLY don’t want to cook anything that doesn’t require the sole use of a microwave.

God bless that invention.

So, among my many travelings on Pinterest (and with a little inspiration from my bestie, Kyle, who adores the movie theatre version of today’s treat), I came across this recipe for cookie dough bites. The only change I made to the recipe was replacing the regular flour with King Arthur gluten-free multi-purpose flour because I thought it would be a nice change from the usual. Unfortunately, my good intentions went awry. I recommend using regular flour in these treats.

Cookie dough bites

Ingredients:
1 C butter, softened
1.5 C packed light brown sugar (so apparently I put 1/4 C less than I was supposed to; oops)
1 tsp vanilla extract (I used 2 tsp, probably to make up for messing up on the sugar)
2 C flour
12 oz mini chocolate chips (1 bag)

Directions
1. Cream the butter and sugar together. It’s probably best if you remember to use all the sugar, unlike someone. *cough cough* me *cough cough*
2. Add in the vanilla extract, then the flour. First, mix in one cup, then stir in half of the chocolate chips. This will keep them from falling out to the bottom of the bowl. Then mix in the rest of the flour.
3. Roll into as big or small a ball as you want. I made mine about 1 tablespoon or less. These bites are rich! Put in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
4. Melt the rest of the chocolate chips in the microwave. I heat for 30 seconds, stir up the chocolate chips, and then heat for another 30 seconds. I’ve burnt too much chocolate to not have the utmost control over my timing.
5. Drizzle the chocolate over the cookie dough balls. (Obviously I didn’t do a very good job, and some of my cookie dough balls ended being attached at the chocolate string.)

Makes five dozen, depending on what size you make them.
Store these in the fridge. They will get soft if you leave them out long enough.
