Tasty Tuesday – Safe-to-eat Raw Cookie Dough

Welcome to another week of Tasty Tuesday here at The Young'ns!
Please link up your recipe at the bottom of the page. You can post a link to a recipe on your blog or anywhere else. In the title of your link, please leave your name too (especially if it's not a blog post) so I know who it came from :)
Also, feel free to grab my Tasty Tuesday button, it's on the right side, just under my spiffy new tabbed box.
Every Monday, I plan on trying a new recipe. If it goes well, that’s what I’ll be posting on Tasty Tuesday. If not, I’ll post a tried and true (i.e. something I don’t have to think about too hard) ;)
I’ve added a recipe index, just for recipes that I’ve blogged about. Someday maybe I’ll get my recipes into Kitchen Monki for easier access, but I’m not there yet.

This week, I made this super tasty safe-to-eat raw chocolate chip cookie dough. For a lot of us, that’s the best part anyway, the dough, right? Hubby does *not* agree, but my daughter does :)

{Ingredients}

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 3-ounce box instant vanilla pudding (the secret ingredient)
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2 cups chocolate chips

{Directions}

• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add pudding and stir well.
• Add milk, vanilla and baking soda. Slowly mix in flour until smooth Dough will be slightly sticky. Stir in chocolate chips.
• Form into balls and chill. Eat and enjoy! (Do *not* bake)
• To make truffles: Freeze dough balls. Dip in melted chocolate and chill again to set. Serve cold.

Forgot to mention how dangerously delicious these are. Brought them to a potluck on Sunday and we decided they were so tasty, we weren’t going to share them with the kids ;) Made a whole batch, now there are just two little balls left!
