Cookie Dough Balls
These raw cookie dough balls have been shared with us by Jo Whitton from Quirky Cooking. They are a perfect substitute for cake or cookies for when you don’t have an oven, and can just be pulled out of the freezer for a mid-afternoon snack. Check out the bottom of the recipe for handy freezer tips.
Recipe Tester Feedback: "These are fantastic to make to pop in the freezer and bring out when you want a yummy treat with a cuppa. They don't need long out of the freezer before they are ready to eat." -Terri
