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!

It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I don’t know what it is, but I love to give pumpkins a bath. Don’t they look cute bathing in the sunlight with bubbles around them? lol
🎃
There are two methods that I have used  in the past; the chlorine bath and the dish soap bath. This is what I have learned.
🎃
My favorite and only way I wash pumpkins now is using dish soap.  It gets rid of the sap and makes them clean. I soak my pumpkins for about 20 minutes. The pumpkins will last until December. Plus if you keep your pumpkins after the holidays it will decay and grow pumpkins the following year. Plus it’s safe for animals that may nibble on your pumpkin.
🎃
The chlorine bath method will make your pumpkins last possibly up to a year. They take very long to break down and I never got my pumpkins to seed themselves. Plus it is not safe for animals in my opinion. Though Clorox Bleach says it’s safe, they just taste salty.
🎃
The key to washing pumpkins is to make sure that you get the area around the stem dry. You don’t want water around the stem. This could make your pumpkin rot sooner. So after the bath, dry your pumpkins off very good. 
🎃
Did you get your pumpkins yet?
.
PS if you are in the Bay Area, I highly recommend going to @threenunnsfarm to get your pumpkins. They have a wide variety and the pumpkins and are .75 a pound. I bought all these pumpkins for $42.

Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Ha Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Halloween in my kitchen. I don’t do much Halloween decorations, but I just love to add it to the kitchen. Every time I go to the kitchen it makes me smile.
🦇
To add Fall or Halloween you don’t need to add a lot, just a few touches here and there. I will give a full tour in stories and tag a few items. Majority of the decor came from @krumpetshomedecor and the towels and bat banner from @theblessedpeach 
🦇
Have the best day!

Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s sta Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. The mornings and evenings are feeling crisp. I can’t get over that we are in the middle of September. Where did the Summer go?
🎃
I’m sharing with you the corner of my living room where I store my pumpkins that I grew before I can take them outside. It’s been too warm for them and I want them to last through October. They have been doing well, as they have been here since the middle of August. 
🎃
I’m excited because this Saturday our local pumpkin patch will be opening. They have a huge variety of pumpkins and very inexpensive too. I’ll be stocking up. I just love this time of year.
🎃
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reach Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reached out to me asking if I am okay. I am doing just fine. I’ve taken a little break from posting here because I have been busy on the dogs Instagram page. It’s hard to keep up on both. The dog page is so busy with birthdays, events and engagement. They have a busier social life than me. 
🩵
I am sharing with you the last view of my kitchen before it is filled with Halloween. I spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning all the cabinets, appliances, sink and floor. I even did the windows. It sure tired me out. I’m not as young as I used to be. But it is so sparkly clean. I did put up my Halloween and I can’t wait to share with you. The dining room is the next room to conquer.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page today because I got the best gift in the whole world and it even came in the mail on my birthday. How did @downlitebedding know? They are so good!
🐾
Downlite Bedding sent me the EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so soft, cozy, hypoallergenic and it makes me so happy. 
🐾
The comforter is 400 thread count, it has moisture wicking and cooling technology to help regulate body temperature, which is perfect since I get warm in the summer with all my hair and I like to be cool when I’m sleeping. A big plus is the comforter is white, I hide very well in it. It’s hard to see me. So mama can’t catch me on her bed. 
🐾
The EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter also has a Scotchguard stain release fabric and machine wash and dry. It’s truly an amazing comforter.
🐾
Mama let me do this takeover today because she knows that I love @downlitebedding as much as she does. She said she has never seen me get so excited as I do when we get Downlite Bedding and pillows in the mail. How can I not get excited? It’s like sleeping on a cloud!
🐾
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give us a 20% discount:  DYGEN20 
🐾
Have a great day and happy napping!
🐾
❤️Samuel

Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I took a couple weeks ago. My garden really overgrew this season. I need to do some major work in it, but with the heat, it’s just unbearable to be out there too long.
🌼
I had a lot of zinnias self-seed this season which is cool, but they kind of took over. They crowded out some plants, so I need to get in there and pull some out. Plus being so crowded, they got powdery mildew. Yuck!
🌼
I’m thinking for the Fall making this area a little harvest pumpkin area. We will see. I have grand ideas in my head, but I don’t always follow through. lol
🌼
How your garden growing? I lost all my potted plants from the heat. 😩

Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcut Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcuterie setup for my husband and I. This is something that I just love to do. I could just eat this type of meal all day long. 

I am sharing the “All White Collection” from @bzaar_wholesale. Each piece to the collection is so elegant and can be used all year round and would be gorgeous around the holidays.

The tray is made of marble with beautiful gold handles. The cheese knives are gold with solid marble handles and compliments the tray perfectly.

I used the marble flower shaped bowl for putting chocolates, but would be so stunning to use on your coffee table, side table and more.

The cake stand is has a marble base with Mother of Pearl edging and has a glass lid to go over the top. I will be putting my cakes and cookies on it in the future, but for now I used it to place my bruschetta.

@bzaar_wholesale has amazing products for your home, great pricing and global shipping. The link is in my bio.

Do you like making charcuterie boards? What do you add to yours?

Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I can’t resist putting out some Fall. Especially when you get new decor from @12timbers.  You would laugh if you came into my living-room. Half my room is Fall, the other half is still coastal blues. lol I’ll eventually change it all out.
🍂
Let’s talk the art work. Isn’t it stunning? My husband never says anything about my decor, but he keeps talking about how much he likes the framed art from 12 Timbers. I agree, it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived back east and we would go to Letchworth Park in NY. The colors are stunning and goes perfectly with the burnt orange color that I’m using this season.
🍂
I just adore the wooden cut out pumpkins from @12Timbers. When I look at them they make me smile. The orange wooden leaf is the perfect piece to bring everything together. This gets me so excited for Fall decorating. Now to finish the rest of the living room.
🍂
12 Timbers is so kind to give me a discount code. It’s good until Saturday at midnight. The code is PBANDP15.
🍂
Have the most beautiful day!

Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignett Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignette. Notice anything that seems a tad early? It’s my first pumpkin from my garden. Can you believe it? They started to grow early this season so it’s time to start picking. Unfortunately the massive one I showed you a couple weeks ago didn’t make it. It collapsed in the middle. That makes me sad, but at least I have more pumpkins growing.
🎃
I really had fun bringing out some Fall decor. Fall is not my favorite season, as I love Spring and Summer, but Fall is my favorite to decorate for.
🎃
I wanted to share with you my new reversible blocks from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they cute. They would look so pretty on a shelf. The one side says Fall and the other side says Boo! The two wooden pumpkins are also from Krumpets Home Decor.
🎃
The Fall blocks are 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 season to decorate for?

Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is a nice cold glass of lemonade. I like it a tad sour over sweet. It gives you the zippys in your mouth. I do love a good homemade lemonade, but once in awhile I like to cheat and just get my favorite store brand and add some freshly cut lemons and a few sprigs of mint. It then looks homemade when it’s not.
🍋
This is my outdoor dining area. I put the tablecloth over the table and have kept it like that all summer. I love my table, but being black, it’s extremely hot when you touch it. Plus it has water spots from last year which is annoying. Not sure how to get rid of them? 
🍋
What is your favorite summer drink? Have a wonderful day!
