I have tried two new recipes involving cookie dough recently. First, let's deal with the one that didn't work out so well.
The name is super long:
Quite a name, right!?! For me, the equation ended more like this:
Oh well! I'll try again!
The cookie dough looked great. There may or may not have been some major sampling at this point. ;-)
The recipe actually involves making cupcakes from a mix. I don't really ever make cakes from mixes because I don't like the flavors very much, but I figured it would save some time and not be as noticeable with cookie dough so I did it that way.
Still looking very promising!
And then they came out of the oven looking delicious!
The reviews of this recipe warned that the cupcakes wouldn't look done but to take them out anyway. Within a minute of being out the oven, I realized that they clearly hadn't been in the oven long enough. They had all sunk in way too much:
I still sampled, because it takes a lot to deter me from dessert, but they just weren't edible. Way underdone.
I haven't given up on this recipe yet, but next time I will make the cake from scratch and I will leave them longer in the oven.
The other cookie dough recipe I made was a much bigger success. And was much easier. And is vegan!! It's from Angela over at Oh She Glows: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough "Blizzard"
If the "vegan" description turned you off, I beg you to reconsider. You would have no idea these were vegan if I hadn't told you.
At this point, once again, there may have been some serious sampling. I couldn't even resist eating one between these two pictures. Just look at these!
Then you blend a frozen banana and a few tablespoons of cookie dough, add a few cookie dough balls and you have a blizzard!
I'm sorry for the quality of the pictures for this recipe. My camera has been acting up so I sent it in for repair. I'm lost without it and have to make do with my iPhone. (Although I do think it's doing a decent job.)
The best part of this recipe? Aside from the deliciousness of course... I got to use my Ninja blender! Still loving it! :-)
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough + Cupcake = Lots of potential. But fail.
