Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites remind me of weddings…

This has been an exciting week for my family, because my sister Katie got married! It was a beautiful wedding with the reception in my parent’s backyard. It was a fun reminder of my own reception, which was also held in my parent’s backyard. (And it was actually THIS week, three years ago…) Yup, my husband and I spent our 3rd-year anniversary sitting at my sister’s wedding dinner. But, no complaints, it was a fantastic dinner…mainly because it was held at an aquarium. 🙂 Cool.

So why do Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites remind me of weddings? I’ll tell you why. Three years ago when we were picking out the desserts we wanted to have at our wedding, my husband Patrick insisted that we have cookie dough. Not cookies. Cookie dough. Because let’s face it, everyone would rather eat a giant glob of cookie dough on a spoon than a boring old cookie. My mom was slightly concerned that all the guests would go home with salmonella poisoning if we let cookie dough sit out for hours at our reception, so she created a cookie dough recipe that doesn’t have eggs, and these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites were born.

They were such a hit that a year later, my brother had them at his wedding and then my sister continued the tradition. You just can’t go wrong! Everyone loves cookie dough. And the best part? These freeze beautifully, so you can make them in bulk and freeze them for your next big party (or so you can have endless happiness throughout the day when you need a little sweet treat 😉 )

What a cute couple my sis and her boy make.

And what a cute dessert these chocolate chip cookie dough bites make…
