You don’t have to ask us twice if we want cookie dough! The answer will always be a resounding YES! Cookie dough, especially when it is Ohh! Foods Allergen-Friendly Cookie Dough that is free of dairy, gluten, eggs, nuts, sesame seeds, tree nuts and four other common allergens - who wouldn’t want to eat it with an ice cream scoop!
Today’s blog post was written not to convince you to eat more cookie dough (that part you have down!), but to inspire you with new and unique ways that you can put your Ohh! Foods Cookie Dough to work in the kitchen. Don’t get us wrong, it is perfectly fine to eat your cookie dough straight from the tub, but when you have guests over for dinner, they might want something more than your kind gesture to share the spoon ;)
That’s where we come in! We love to make, and eat, simple, wholesome vegan recipes that everyone, regardless of their list of food allergies can enjoy. Dessert is meant to be shared!
Without further adieu, let’s get into the ten unique ways to eat cookie dough!
Cookie Dough Hack #1: Mini Cookie Dough Ice Cream Sundaes
Simply roll two small chunks of cookie dough into a ball and then flatten it into a disc. Bake at 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes, depending on the preferred doneness of your cookie and then allow them to cool. Add a scoop of vegan vanilla or chocolate ice cream between the two, sandwich them together and then eat! The best part about this recipe is that you can use whatever flavour of cookie dough that you like - chocolate chip, birthday cake or sunbutter cup!
Cookie Dough Hack #2: Mini Cookie Dough Ice Cream Sundaes
Have you ever been to a sundae bar or Menchies and seen their baby cookie dough bite balls? They make our eyes light up because they are the perfect sized bite for when you want a taste of cookie dough, but not a full sized scoop of it. Well, that’s exactly what we’ll be making today! Roll up your sleeves and roll out mini balls of cookie dough in all of your favourite flavours. Place the rolled balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, freeze for 30 minutes and then transfer them to a storage container for future use. When you’re ready to eat them, simply pull them from the freezer and use them to top off your ice cream sundae or pop them straight into your mouth!
Cookie Dough Hack #3: Chocolate Dipped Cookie Dough Pops
Similar to tip number two, except this time use a larger cookie dough ball! Once you’ve rolled the cookie dough into a tight ball, skewer the ball with a straw or popsicle stick and roll it in chocolate. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freezer for 10 minutes. Repeat with as many flavours as you like - this recipe is a customer favourite!
Cookie Dough Hack #4: Cookie Dough & Chocolate Banana Boats
These banana boats are one of the most versatile desserts you can make. Kids love this recipe because they can get involved by helping to drizzle the chocolate and then stuffing the boats with their favourite toppings!
