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”?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
