Cookie Dough Bites

Most people over 12 years of age will find this recipe absolutely repulsive. However, people who still like to lick the beaters or are 12 years of age and under will love it. Will and Sophia found this candy in a gift shop on an overnight excursion to a nearby water park and asked if I could make them at home. Don't freak out about eating raw egg because this is an eggless cookie dough batter often used in ice cream recipes.

A Broken Oven Tip
