We feel you. Which is why we’re sharing 5 easy to make cookie dough inspired recipes that you can whip up faster than you can dive into your pool. Before we talk about the good stuff, aka, all things cookie dough, let’s first talk about why Ohh! Foods Cookie Dough specifically.
Did you know that most adults are either allergic or sensitive to dairy, gluten, tree nuts, peanuts and soy? The most common ingredients in cookie dough on the market today. Brittany, the owner of Ohh! Foods decided to change that and created the first ever allergen-friendly cookie dough on the market - free of gluten, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, soy, sulphites, mustard, eggs, sesame and shellfish. If that wasn’t enough, all of Ohh! Foods products are vegan. Vegan and allergy-friendly cookie dough? How is that even possible. Magic! We’re kidding - real foods. That’s the trick.
Ohh! Foods allergy-friendly and plant based products are made from whole food ingredients such as oat flour, dates, flaxseeds, coconut sugar, sunflower seeds, vegan butter and pink Himalayan sea salt. With three different flavours; birthday cake, sunbutter cup and chocolate chip cookie dough, there is a flavour for everyone!
In today’s blog post, we are sharing 5 of our favourite ways to put your allergy-friendly and fan favourite cookie dough to use this summer! Make, bake, freeze for later or eat it right away. All of them are great options!
