As a child, when mom was baking chocolate chip cookies, it meant one thing and one thing only…
Cookie. Dough. Batter. Consumption.
I remember being a little girl helping my mom make chocolate chip cookies, and just waiting for her to leave the kitchen for just one moment so I could sneak a few bites from the bowl. After all, I think we can all agree that the batter is better than the actual cooked cookie. I think we can all also relate to when mom caught us eating the dough, getting the whole “don’t eat the dough because your tummy will get upset from the raw eggs” spiel. But did that ever stop us? Nope! Our love for cookie dough batter outweighed all risks. And if we did happen to get a belly ache, it was totally worth it.
Now, I don’t know about you all, but I am still very fond of chocolate chip cookie dough; but, if I ate it in it’s true form every time I get a craving, things wouldn’t be pretty. While there is nothing like the real deal, I do try to find healthier ways to enjoy the same cookie dough flavor. This recipe is one of many ways that you can welcome “cookie dough” back into your life, without the risk of a belly ache or sacrificing your clean eating efforts 🙂
And it’s in frozen yogurt form! How cool is that?!
