Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough


We had company the other night for dinner.

Not just any company -- interns.

That means:
  • single
  • boys  . . .ok, they're 20-something year-old men
  • graduate students
  • they miss their mamma's cooking
  • they're hungry
Trying to figure out what we were going to have -- I was giving the Mr. several options.

His reply, "It doesn't matter, just make sure you have alot!"

I made fajita grilled chicken topped with Monterrey jack cheese and green chilies, my friend's green chili rice (on the blog), quick charro beans (on the blog), homemade guacamole (on the blog), and chocolate chip cookie dough brownies (now going to be on the blog!)

I had worked all day and had to run to the store to grab a few things!  Dinner had to be thrown together in a flash!  I thought of an easy dessert:  a box of brownies, cooked to perfection, topped with cookie dough.

Yummy!

I've made this basic dessert before -- but this is just a smidge different.  If you're a fan of the "original" post -- here's the link:

If you are just interested in seeing the difference; there's the link!

This time, I used Betty Crocker fudge brownie mix, made according to directions, and baked for 25 minutes.  They were done just right!  Done enough to hold their shape when cut, but not dried out.

After they cooled, I topped it with this mess of delish!

I served the dessert at room temperature, but I did refrigerate the leftovers . . .and I took a bit of the chilled dessert; I have to say, I think I prefer this dessert served cold.

You make it and see for yourself!

Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
(Slightly adapted from Family Fun Recipes)

1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 TBSP vanilla extract
1 1/2cup semisweet chocolate chips
4  TBSP milk

Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the flour, salt, vanilla and chips. Add the water, one tablespoon at a time, until you have reached a cookie dough consistency. Makes 2 cups.
This is a great amount to smear over a 9X13 pan of brownies.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned.  We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
