Egg Free, No-Bake Cookie Dough (For Eating!)

Jessa M's Note:

Everyone has those nights where they just want to curl up with a movie and a bowl of ice cream or cookie dough. This cookie dough is perfect for doing so- it is low in salt, quick to whip up, and tastes absolutely delicious frozen. Homemade cookie dough is wonderful on top of all kinds of desserts, too. (When making cookie dough that is not being baked, leave out the eggs and substitute them with a little water if needed to avoid the chance of getting Salmonella.)

• Total Time: 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 8

Yield: 3.0 cups

• 1 cup flour
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (can be left out or reduced to just a pinch)
• 1/2 cup margarine
• 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• water (add small amounts until the dough is proper consistency)

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients except for the water in a bowl. It helps if you cream the margarine separately and then add it to the bowl to avoid spending a long time trying to smooth out pieces of margarine. The mixture will be very crumbly and dry because the eggs were left out (to avoid salmonella issues when eating raw). Gradually begin adding small amounts of water until dough reaches desired consistency.
2. Store in the fridge or freezer (not at room temperature or it will quickly spoil because it contains uncooked margarine). Eat with a spoon or place on top of pies, ice cream cakes, cheesecake, homemade icecream, or frozen yogurt!

Loved this recipe!! I was really craving something sweet but I don't usually keep sweets in my house so I decided to make this dough. I cut the recipe in 1/4 so that it would be a small portion for me. It was just the right amount and it was delicious!
