Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls

August 16, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 11 Comments

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!!  I just made the most delicious chocolate chip cookie dough balls ever!!!  Oh and hello!  Sometimes I just get soooooooo excited when I make something new, that I can’t wait to share it with you, that I tend to forget my manners and say hi!!   How rude can I be?  So sorry about that!  Ok, now back to cookie dough balls!!  Yah, baby I got some rockin balls for you on this Friday!  I think this is the best way to end a week!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls

You’ll have to forgive the wetness look to the dough balls.  I made them on my birthday and just after I made them, my Husband said let’s go to breakfast, so I put my dough balls in the freezer.  I didn’t come home for hours later and when I went to the freezer my little dough balls had slightly froze.  Now these balls don’t freeze completely because they are made with cashews and as you may know nuts don’t freeze solid.  Oh speaking of my birthday, I want to thank you for the birthday wishes that you left me here and on my Facebook page.  Thank you, it meant the world to me.  Also for my birthday, my gift from my Husband was a new stove.  It’s so pretty and shiny.  I won’t get it until the end of August, so when I do get it, I’ll show it to you.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls

Now back to my soft, yummy little balls.  These chocolate chip cookie dough balls are made with cashews, maple syrup, vanilla extract, butter extract and of course chocolate chips.  These are the BEST chocolate chips dough balls I have ever made.  They are so sweet, soft and taste just like raw chocolate chip cookie dough.  Oh my gosh, I have to contain myself not to eat them all.  But the good thing about these balls is that they are healthy and guilt-free, unless you eat the whole batch.  Try not to eat the whole batch, but trust me, it’s hard.  I ate three while photographing them.  Then I went for a walk.  I needed to work off the sweet little guys, plus all of the other sweets I have eaten the past week.  Between birthday cakes, frozen yogurts and balls, I kind of over did it.  Plus as you read this, I am on vacation and I can only hope that I control my eating habits while vacationing.  I’m afraid to even hop on the scale.  At least I am keeping up with my 10,000 steps a day.  It’s hard some days, but I am chugging along.  So far I only missed two of the days of not making my goals.


Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls

I love making nut butter in my food processor however, if you don’t have a food processor I know that stores like Whole Foods carries cashew butter.  Cashews makes the best sweet treats like these dough balls.  My Husbands eyes lights up when I bring a bag of them home and tell him they are not for eating, but for ball making.  He just rolls his eyes at me.  Also you can make this recipe vegan by using sunspire chocolate chips and you can make it gluten-free by using gluten-free flour.  For me I used whole wheat pastry flour.  The flour is needed to hold it all together and give it that raw dough taste.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls

If you love raw cookie dough, you must, must, must make these dough balls.  They are so good and so soft!  Oh and if you look at the ingredients and you don’t have butter extract, don’t worry, it’s only optional, the dough balls will still be fabulous without it!!  Believe me!

Well my Friends, since I am writing this in advance, I need to get to more baking and cooking, since I am falling behind on my posts.

Have a super great weekend everyone!!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    And they tell men NOT to give a woman an appliance as a gift… Some of us women must just be too practical. I think a new stove for someone who likes to cook as much as you do, is a wonderful gift!

    Could you use a regular gluten free flour or does it need to be that “wheat pastry flour”?

Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little furniture rearranging in my dining room. I decided to move my kitchen cart to the opposite side of my room, and I love it in its new spot. 
🍂
If you remember, I fixed the nail holes in this wall, so I could hang a normal picture. I love how centered my nail is. lol It’s the little things.
🍂
Now before anyone says anything. I covered my light switch with my picture. I never use it, so it doesn’t effect me. 
🍂
Speaking of pictures, how gorgeous is my sign from @krumpetshomedecor? It’s a fabulous size and I am calling it the moving sign. If you watched my reel last week, you will see that I used the spider side of the sign in my kitchen. I thought the fall side would be perfect in my dining room. Now I actually plan to move the sign again to my living room when I bring out the Fall bins. I have an idea in my head.
🍂
This little area of my home is what I am calling my transition from summer to fall. I have a little bit of rich end of summer colors with natural woods and my leaves. 
🍂
The falling leaves reversible sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.
🍂
What is your favorite Fall color?
.
PS. I think I got the big C 🦠. So I’ll be slow getting back to you.

Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to get Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to getting to everyone’s comments yesterday. I am still working on them. I was a little overwhelmed yesterday. Typical Monday. Plus to boot my husband got the big “C”🦠 So I have been dealing with that. 
🌼
I thought I would share with you a very simple way of styling a bowl. It would be beautiful on an entry, console or dining room table. The bowl is from the Targets Studio McGee line.
🌼
Hope you have the best day.

Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today is Samuels 1st birthday. I couldn’t resist showing his first year on Earth.
🐾
If you remember, I didn’t want another dog when Sampson passed last August, but Samuel was a blessing in disguise. He has helped me heal. 
🐾
I will be back tomorrow with decor. Have a wonderful Monday!

Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so e Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so excited that we put the dog crate away. It took up so much room in the kitchen and now it looks so open. I just wish my kitchen was wide enough for an island.
👻
I didn’t lose my mind decorating for Halloween. However @krumpetshomedecor is having there Fall and Halloween launch. So much fun! The sign above the door is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. It is a gorgeous one. I just love both sides. I used the Halloween side right now  because it matches my coffee bar. Plus I feel that way when people come to my home with my dogs. lol

Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last lo Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last look at the guest bathroom before the Fall season arrives. Pretty soon it will be filled with pumpkins.
💙
I actually have not changed any of the decor in the bathroom since February of this year. I love how it looks and didn’t want to change it.
💙
The plants in the tub were in my living room, but with having puppies, they were eating them and they are poisonous, so I put them in the tub and they have survived and doing well.
💙
The rug on the floor is from @studiomoutdoor. It’s a vinyl rug that is so perfect for cleaning up after the dogs. Plus they don’t eat these rugs! Yes, they have eaten all the rugs in my house, except for the dining room rug. Sigh….
💙
Do you have a room in your house that you don’t want to redecorate because you like it the way it is?

Happy Monday! Boy this weekend flew by and I didn’t get much done around the house. Though I am slowly starting to put away some summer stuff. 
🍋
But before putting away the lemons, I had to do a summer tiered tray. I haven’t made a tiered tray in months. I love how light and bright it is. It matches my kitchen nicely.

Here are the sources for my tiered tray:

Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weeke Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weekend. This Saturday we have to take the dogs to the vet. Oh man! That’s a thing. The dogs drop dead on the driveway and refuse to go in the car. They do this going there and back. It’s a comedy scene, and so embarrassing. Not fun! lol
💙
I put together a little vignette for my kitchen counter. You are probably thinking, she always shares the kitchen. It’s because I do my day job at the kitchen counter and I get all these new ideas in my head and I just have to share. 
💙
I am loving the blue with the yellow and the green. It feels light and fresh. I also love my new candle from @candleberrycandle the scent is Bergamot Amber. It maybe my favorite scent from the collection. The scent is a mix of blue amber and oak with a vibrant burst of citrus and exotic florals. 
💙
Now through July 22nd Candleberry is having a pre-sale on the new Nouveau candle line. The official launch is August 1st. If you sign up for emails you get 15% off. 
💙
Disclosure: do not burn your candles under your cabinets. I did this to show the candle. I always burn my candles in an open area. 
💙
What are your weekend plans?

Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share wit Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share with you my coffee bar. I kept starting to decorate it, then I’d get stuck and then the season would change and there it would sit for months bare. lol
☕️
I love the new look. It’s simple, has what we need and looks light and fresh. My husband actually noticed and said it was his favorite coffee bar yet. Then brings up how he hates the white fluffy stuff I use on the shelves for Christmas. I told him, I’m using the snow again this winter. He gives me the look.
☕️
The Coffee sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s reversible and I think the perfect addition to my coffee bar. The color and style go fabulous with my decor pieces. 
☕️
The sign is also the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

What is your favorite type of coffee?

Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with you a simple way to make your floral displays last longer. I learned this trick from a local florist.
🌸
Ingredients:
4 cups of water (1 liter)
3 tbsp. Sugar
2 tbsp. Distilled Vinegar

Add sugar and vinegar to water. Stir until dissolved. Add flowers. Try to take off as many leaves as possible.
🌸
The sugar nourishes the flowers and the vinegar will stop bacteria growth.
🌸
After I put this arrangement together, I decided to take out the yellow flowers and cut the bouquet down a little. I think it looks better. I bought these flowers from the farmers market.
