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

Creamy Poblano Chicken Dinner

Picture used from "My Recipes.com" My picture didn't look nearly as appetizing! We've been eating this since the late 90's. Oh man!  That sounds like we're really old! This is one of those fantastic Southern Living Recipes that looks really hard, sounds really gourmet-ish, and is so easy! Whenever the Mr. requests his birthday dinner, it's always this meal! He had his 43rd birthday yesterday! To go along with his new "older" age, we recently counted the number of doctors he has. Yes, doctors! Right now in life, it's not his social outlet to visit these physicians on a regular basis . .  .but none-the-less, he has a well-rounded network of doctors that can take care of any need of his, ranging from his head to his toes. What a treat it is to get older. But with getting older comes this meal! Serve this with a green salad and dessert and you'll be the hit of the party! Creamy Poblano Chi
