I love Snickerdoodles, but every time I attempt to make them they taste horrible.  I’m just not sure what I am doing wrong.  I am excited to try this recipe, though.  Maybe I can finally be successful at making these and actually get to enjoy the yummy goodness of Snickerdoodles.  Don’t these bars look delicious?  Thanks Somewhere in the Middle!

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs

  • 1/4 tsp soda
  • 2 cups flour

Frosting

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

Tasty Treat Tuesday: Eggless Cookie Dough!

June 5, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Who doesn’t love eating cookie dough?  I can eat it straight out of the mixing bowl, refrigerated, frozen, mixed in ice cream… let’s just say I am an equal opportunity cookie dough eater.  Now I can eat away and never have the guilt and worry from just having fed myself and my family raw eggs.  Yummy!  This would be a fun idea to serve for a sleepover or a Girls/Ladies Night In.  Thanks Baskers Fun Foods for the recipe!

Here is what you need to make this:

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup flour
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
