What’s the Story with Cookie Dough?
Cookie dough isn’t just for cookies anymore. Now it’s for just plain eating too. If you’re anything like me, you grew up hearing dire stories about what happened to kids who snuck bites of cookie dough out of the bowl but now, you can buy cookie dough specially made for eating in many stores. There is even a cookie dough restaurant in New York City.
Recipe-makers have come up with different ways to get around the safety concerns of eating raw eggs. Some commercial companies use ultra-pasteurized eggs, but most home cooks leave the eggs out entirely like we do in this recipe.
Our Keto cookie dough base is just right, with nutty almonds, rich buttery ghee, and just enough sweetener. It’s nothing like those sugary carb-packed store-bought cookie doughs and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
