As I mentioned in my previous post, I love sugar, which means I love junk food. I'm trying to cut back, but it's a work in progress. SO... until then, here's a deliciousness that took me forever to find.
My sister and I love to go to BJ's restaurant every once in a while, particularly on her birthday or mine. Every time we go, we order a cookies n' cream pizookie (pizza cookie). They are delicious, and it's her favorite one (mine as well. I've tried the others and they just aren't as good). We go there just for those, basically. We even order the darn thing before we order our food. We also eat it before we eat our meal.
So, since we love them so much, I decided to get my sister (a.k.a. Clara) a pizookie pan for Christmas. The down side? The cookie dough that came with it sucked big time. I decided I wasn't going to let my $5 go to waste, so I had to find the coveted recipe. It took a couple of months, but we finally found it and tried it out last night. It was....perfect. I tried to pin the recipe, but there are no pictures of the darn thing on the forum where I found the recipe, so I'm posting it here on my blog. I will also attach a link to the forum so as to give the original author (so far as I know) due credit.
Also, please note that I baked a single serving size at a time. I decided that baking it per the instructions below would be overkill. So I now have a turd load of cookies n' cream cookie dough in my fridge to be periodically consumed....after I bake it......maybe.....
Yes yes, you're welcome.
