Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 recipe chocolate chip cookie dough (made with Safest Choice eggs)

Batter

  • 1 cup pancake mix
  • 1 cup milk

Frying

  • Oil (for frying, enough to fill a pot about 3 inches deep)

Garnish

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cookie Dough: Make your favorite chocolate chip cookie dough recipe using Safest Choice eggs to ensure safety. This forms the delicious core of your fried treat.
  2. Form Dough Balls: Using a medium cookie scoop, shape the cookie dough into small balls. Place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet to keep them from sticking.
  3. Freeze Dough Balls: Freeze the dough balls for 20 minutes. This helps them hold their shape during frying and prevents spreading.
  4. Heat Oil: In a medium-sized pot, pour oil to a depth of about 3 inches and heat it over medium heat to reach 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature for optimal frying.
  5. Prepare Batter: In a small bowl, mix together the pancake mix and milk until smooth to create a light batter for coating the dough balls.
  6. Coat and Fry: Dip each frozen dough ball into the pancake batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Carefully transfer two or three balls at a time using a fork into the hot oil. Fry for 1 to 2 minutes or until the batter is golden brown and crisp.
  7. Drain and Cool: Remove the fried cookie dough balls using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve: Sprinkle the fried cookie dough balls with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.

Notes

  • Ensure oil temperature is maintained at 350°F for even frying and to prevent greasy results.
  • Do not overcrowd the pot when frying; frying in small batches ensures crispiness.
  • Use Safest Choice eggs in the cookie dough to reduce any risk associated with raw eggs since the dough is fried but may contain undercooked centers.
  • For extra flavor, you can try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the pancake batter.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and warm gooey center.
