Raw Cookie Dough Bites

I'm baaaaaack. After my longest hiatus since starting this blog, I'm back in the kitchen!! We've been doing some pretty major remodeling at our house and my entire creative energy was poured into that project leaving me scrambling for my go-to recipes for dinner. I've been making some of the oldies but goodies posted right here on this blog.

HOWever, I'm back, and with my all-time absolutely favorite recipe of all time! I have a sweet tooth to end all sweet teeth and indulge WAY too often. One of my weaknesses is raw cookie dough - bad for you on so many levels. This recipe is a no-guilt, so-true-to-taste substitution. I'm enjoying my fair share, but I get a special kick out of giving these to my kids as a snack or dessert!! Trust me, make a double or triple batch while you're at it. They won't go to waste.
