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!

The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.
