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”?

    These look so yummilicious!!! Would they bake up like a regular cookie if you didn’t want them raw?

🥕
This weekend I worked on my bar cart and let me tell you that I am loving the orange color and all the carrots and bunnies. So much fun!! 
🥕
In the bowl on the tiered tray you see wooden carrots, those are from @krumpetshomedecor. They are so cute!! My dogs seem to be obsessed with them when I hung them on my cart, so I had to hide them. I’ll share them in stories today.
🥕
The carrot sign on the wall, little carrot sign on the tiered tray are from Krumpets Home Decor. Plus the wooden carrot banner is the Krumpets deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off: PBANDP. Link in bio.

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural. 
🫧
The beautiful spring tea towel is from my friend Alicia from @theblessedpeach. 
🫧
The tray and canister is Targets Hearth and Hand. The marble paper towel holder is Target Threshold. The soap is Trader Joe’s!

Hope I inspire you to do a little spring cleaning!! Have a great Monday!

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California. 
🥕
My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol
🐰
Have a beautiful day!

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. 
🌸
Have a wonderful Monday!!

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.
🐰
The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an extra 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in Bio.

What’s the weather like where you live?

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterd Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterday we watched on Netflix Your Place or Mine with Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. If you like the classic Rom-Com movies you’ll enjoy it.
💗
I added a little of Spring decor to my bench in my living room. I will probably change this spot up once I pull my spring decor out, but for now I like it.
💗
It’s crazy how big this space looks in video, when it’s quite small. I call this my runway zone because the dogs run through this space like maniacs. So I have to keep it light with no breakables. 
💗
The two large pillows are from Target and the little bunny pillow is from the Target Dollar Spot. The throw is from Pier1 when they had a storefront. The sign on the wall is from Krumpets Home Decor.

Have you started decorating for Spring?

I have gotten so many questions lately about the runner in my kitchen that I thought I would share with you a close up and some information about it. This is not a collaboration. 
🐾
The vinyl runners are from @vmathome. They are so easy to clean, pet friendly, anti-slip, and durable. I love these vinyl runners in the kitchen and hallway. If the dogs get dirt or water on them, I just clean it up with a paper towel. They have been a life saver having them with two young dogs.
🐾
The vinyl mat on the first picture is the Dandelion Vinyl Mat. If you swipe the photo you will see the vinyl mat that used last year in my kitchen which is the Charlotte Vinyl Mat. If you sign up for emails, you will get discount codes.
🐾
These two pictures are a year apart. Look how much my baby Sully has grown. 🥹
🐾
Have the best day!
