Incredible, Edible Egg(less) Cookie Dough

Some days you just need to eat cookies. Today wasn't a terrible day; it wasn't even a slightly bad day. There's some not so great things going on behind the scenes, but I brush it off. After dinner tonight though, I just really wanted a cookie. Except, I didn't want really want baked cookies- I just wanted the dough. And I never buy cookies to make at home because I'll eat all the dough and/or cookies by myself. It's a vicious cycle.

 Thank heavens though for all the people who share eggless cookie dough recipes online, and I am even more thankful for those who post the recipe for just 1-2 servings. Because that is how I battle my cookie dough craving. I've tried a million recipes from Pinterest, and it took a lot of trial and error to perfect my eggless cookie dough recipe. Tonight I opted for a sugar cookie dough-

• 2 tablespoons of butter (softened)
• 2 1/2 ish tablespoons of sugar. I shy on the 2 side, so it's not super sugary.
• Splash of vanilla extract
• A shake or two of the salt shaker
• 1 3/4 ish cups of all purpose flower
• 1-2 1/2 table spoons of water

Mix butter and sugar together well. (If not, your cookie dough will resemble sand.)
Add all other ingredients- EXCEPT the water- and mix well.
Slowly, mix in the water a little at a time. Mix until you're happy with the texture of your dough. (You may need a little more or less depending on how you want the dough.)

Viola! Instant gratification.

It's a rare occasion when I look at Joe and suggest eating Chinese food. Mostly because, I am not a huge Chinese food fan. I stick to sweet and sour chicken, white rice, and a teriyaki veggie mix off the grill. Needless to say, Joe was more than willing to go eat Chinese Sunday before the syllable Chi- left my mouth, and we invited our bestie Calep along for the trip.

We indulged ourselves in a feast of Chinese food the only way to eat it- buffet style. I grabbed my usual, and the boys were more adventurous. Seafood salad, squishy crab bakes, crème puffs, not so red strawberries, and a barrage of noodles. After bellies were full and plates stacked high, as every Chinese dinner, we received our fortune cookies. The anticipation of tearing apart the wrapper snapping the cookie in half, and finally seeing what your future may (most likely may not) hold...

 

 

I was not overly excited about my fortune. It seemed pretty obvious to me. The boys were equally disappointed in theirs. Joe, with a serious face, said... Fortune cookies aren't even fortune cookies anymore. They're "advice" cookies. And he's right. There's no fortune in the above. I wouldn't even classify it as advice. It's a general statement. I think my most memorable fortune I've had is... "If you ate the buffet, you are $6.99 poorer."

 

 Had there not been the amazingly tasty jello, I would have been disappointed.

 

 

For Sunday... I'll give you a peek at the OOTD (Outfit Of The Day).

 

This bright, tribal print maxi is from Wal-Mart last season. Yes, I said Wal-Mart! I paid a mere $8 for the dress. Which also came with a braided belt. Score!

The shoes were a Target score years ago! They were out of the little girls section. (Hey... if the shoe fits, wear it) Find kicks like these here: Beaded Boho Sandal

 

I am not a master of selfies, and often times only capture my feet. You will learn I have a small obsession with shoes.

 

Recapping Sunday, Winding down from Monday, and lots of love until next time!
