Cookie Dough Balls III

January 12, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 10 Comments

Hi Guys!

Well it’s Thursday, were almost to Friday!  Yah!  I’ve been trying to keep a positive attitude, but sometimes it’s hard!  That can be really wearing on a person!

Well tonight I can’t write to long, since I still have dinner dishes to do, make lunch and I would really love to make some hummus and since I peel those darn chickpeas, it takes me forever.  I pick tedious tasks!  Why I don’t know?

Speaking of tedious tasks, I made wonderful little Cookie Dough Balls that I got from Oh She Glows.  I discovered Oh She Glows, reading a link to a magazine and so I clicked and I was hooked.  I wanted to know why she glow’s, so I signed up for her blog.  Angela’s blog was the first blog I ever read.  I had no clue what a blog was, then I starting clicking and realized there are people out there like me, who had struggles with weight, loved to eat, cook and seemed like genuine real people. Angela’s blog is a Vegan blog and I’m not Vegan, but  I have tried several of her recipes and my family and I love them.  Angela’s blog showed me different types of food to try, such as hummus, black beans, multi-grain rice, wheat berries, granola and more.  I never heard of most of these foods, nor never tried them.  Actually I just never thought of them.  I now incorporate all these different foods into my everyday life.  Whether your Vegan or not, you should check her site out.  I’m so excited for her, she is working on a cookbook and I can’t wait for it to come out, I will definitely be buying it.

The first thing I ever made from Oh She Glows are these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls.  I was hooked then, and I’m hooked now!  They really do taste like little chocolate chip cookies.


I made these on Sunday and as I write this, I just popped the last one in my mouth!  I’m sad now!  These only take a few minutes to make, but the tedious part was my fault.  I made these balls super small.  I got 49 of them out of my batch.  I do this because I have no self control, I’ll just keep eating them and if there bigger they’ll go faster.  Plus, I like to open the freezer and just pop one, two or three in my mouth!

I think I really loved this last batch, because I made peanut butter, and I thought what the heck, I’ll just make cookie balls without cleaning the food processor.  Best non cleaning idea ever.  These taste like peanut butter chocolate chip cookies.  My Husband who doesn’t like foods like this, loved them and had the nerve to ask me for some.  I didn’t want to share, but I did!  I gave him one of my 49 balls.  🙂

Whats nice about these, is that you freeze them on a plate then put them in a freezer bag.  Store in the freezer and because of the fat from the cashews, it doesn’t freeze, they kind of melt in your mouth!  Yum!

Cookie Dough Balls III – Oh She Glows

Yield: 1 cup packed cookie dough

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted cashews
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour (other flours may work)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1.5 tbsp natural cane sugar
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3-4 tbsp pure maple syrup (or a bit more if dough is too dry)
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions: In a food processor, add the cashews and oats and process until it forms a fine crumble. Now add in the salt, sugar, and flour and process for a few seconds more. Add in the maple syrup and vanilla and process until combined. It will be sticky, but this is normal! Add in your chocolate chips and stir by hand or process. Form into balls. Store in freezer.

I am not giving you the calories on these because Angela doesn’t count calories anymore and I feel it’s best to not say, but I will tell you it’s a guilt free snack!

I hope you get your food processor out and try these little guys!  There so addicting and oh so good!  I really want some more, right now!  Maybe I could whip up a quick batch before I go to bed.  Instead of snacking on granola this week, I’ve been snacking on these!

Well I have to really do the dishes! Blah!  So have a great day and I’ll see you right back here tomorrow!

    YUM! I am going to make this recipe with a multi-purpose GF flour and I bet it will turn out with the same results. Love the dark chocolate addition to the balls.

    Those look delicious and gives me a solid indication I am allowed to eat raw cookie dough. 😉
    I like how you made them bite size. Although, I think it would just trick my mind into thinking I could eat more w/out feeling guilty. LOL

    I’ve made Angela’s balls a bunch of times, they’re delicious! I’m surprised yours lasted as long as they did. Ours are usually gone in about 24 hrs!

    Bless your heart for rolling out 49 balls! I usually make half the quantity of most recipes and/or design my recipes to cap at 20. Or 2 dozen. 4 dozen is lots of rolling.

    I love the backstory you gave about finding Angela and her blog. She’s such a sweetheart and a friend and has great recipes, too 🙂

    What a totally poppable snack! I would have to make them small too so I could keep eating and eating…

    These sound absolutely perfect! I’m like you – if they’re available, I’ll eat them…however, having them in the freezer and not on the shelf would help! Thanks!

    Can cashews be substituted with peanuts?

    Reply
    • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

      February 2, 2012 at 7:06 PM

      Of course! The peanuts will give it more of a peanut butter cookie flavor, rather then a chocolate chip flavor. I have had both and there both equally addicting! Let me know what you think!

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!

Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden f Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden from last year. I’m gearing myself up to start working in the garden this weekend. It’s supposed to be mid 70’s. So if all goes planned you will be seeing quite a few gardening posts. 
🌺
Last years extreme summer heat took a major toll on my garden. I lost quite a few plants. 😫 For some reason I lost my Butterfly Bush. I plan on adding another one in the same spot. A lot of my lower flowers like Hummingbird Mint and my Coneflowers didn’t survive. We will be looking at the sprinkler system to make sure the plants are getting enough water. 
🌺
At least this garden is mainly annuals, so it should fill up with some color soon. I’m unsure what to do with my other gardens as my dogs have destroyed them. They keep on digging in the dirt. Maybe I should get them a sandbox to play in?
🌺
Have you started to work in your garden?

Happy Monday! Is there anything better than loungi Happy Monday! Is there anything better than lounging in bed reading a book to your fur babies? The boys 🐶🐶 just loved it. 
🐾
The boys will do anything to get on the bed, especially when you put on the @downlitebedding. I know you have heard me say it before, but they love there Downlite Bedding comforters and pillows. I have never seen 2 dogs get so excited.
🐾
We are all cozied up with the new Renew Comforter. It’s so soft and fluffy and not super heavy which is great for Spring weather. The comforter is 100% organic, 300 thread count with Lockshift baffle box construction and is machine washable!!
