I consider myself to be extremely fortunate to live in an age where eating cookie dough has become so widely accepted. Because, once upon a time and yet not very long ago, eating raw cookie dough was frowned upon. It was mostly eaten only secretly in the shadows of the pantry, stealthily swiped from mixing spoons, and pilfered from bowls of dough chilling in the refrigerator (or maybe that was just in my house). Even the nagging fear of consuming raw eggs wasn’t enough to keep the most devoted cookie dough fanatics (such as myself) from snagging a bite or two (…or ten).
REPIN This recipe to save it But recently there has been a cookie dough liberation! We have elevated eating cookie dough up to an egg-free art form, and now it can be devoured out of the shadows and without shame*. What was once just a precursor to dessert has now become the main attraction, and today I’m turning it up just another notch with these sweet and salty cookie dough pretzel bites! This cookie dough is absolutely egg-free; a few tablespoons of heavy cream stand in for the eggs and give this filling a creamy texture without sacrificing that wonderful cookie dough taste we all know and love so much. It’s then sandwiched between two pretzels (because who doesn’t love that salty/sweet combo) and then dipped in dark chocolate for good measure. Bonus points if you dress them up with sprinkles or nonpareils for a little extra texture. Sweet and salty, punctuated with pops of chocolate chips and dressed up in dark chocolate dresses, these cookie dough pretzel bites are the ultimate (and maybe even the easiest!) little snacks.
*(Some people are wary of eating raw flour because of possible links to E. coli. I don’t let that stop me, but please use your best judgment. Also, eating 10 lbs of cookie dough may result in a little bit of shame, but I don’t let that stop me, either) © SpendWithPennies.com. Content and photographs are copyright protected.
