The fry fest continues! And believe me folks, it’s getting more decadent and ridiculous by the hour. It all started when I was invited to a Chanukah Round-Up party. Everything at the party had a round theme, so there was a latke and cookie contest. Well, since I detest making latkes, I decided I need to make a cookie, but it had to be good. Then it dawned on me. What could be a more festive Chanukah cookie than deep fried cookie dough? I know, I’m a genius, right?
Well, I didn’t win. My friend, the lovely Tiffany took home the gold with her lemon cookies. She deserves it. That said, many of my friends told me that the deep fried cookie dough was their favorite, but I’m not competitive or anything. Besides, I got to take home some new whisks as a white elephant gift, and the hubs stayed home with the baby, so I could go out for the evening, and that’s a win for me. It’s been non-stop work these past few months, and a night out is just so rare these days. I know it’s just the season, but boy am I tired.
Just look at that, will ya?! Sinful and delicious, they are sinfully delicious. Personally, I like it when the deep fried cookie dough cools a bit, and you are actually biting into cookie dough covered in fry batter. I’m the worst, you guys. I love this kind of food, and I don’t care who knows about it. There, I said it. I hope all of you who were thinking about a kale salad for lunch are craving deep fried cookie dough now. Because at the end of your life you may have two years longer to live than I do, but I guarantee you’ll spend those years regretting the fact that you didn’t just eat delicious deep fried cookie dough. I’m not trying to be evil, just a bearer of truth.
Do it. Deep fry that cookie dough. Pin the pic below.
Ingredients
- • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- • 1/2 teaspoon salt
- • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- • 1 egg, at room temperature
- • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- • 1 cup milk
- • 1 (3 1/2 ounce) box vanilla instant pudding mix (This is Circle K certified. If you don't trust that certification, you can substitute 1/4 cup butter)
- • 3 tablespoons Bourbon
- • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- • 1 teaspoon baking powder
- • 1/4 teaspoon salt
- • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
- • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- • 1 quart oil, for frying
- • Small Skewers
- • Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together flour and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
- Add in the egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
- On low speed gradually add the flour and salt.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. Freeze until firm, at least one hour.
- While the cookie dough is hardening, Whisk all ingredients together until creamy and smooth.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Add the milk and vegetable oil, and whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- In a deep fryer or a medium heavy pot, with at least 2 inches of oil, heat oil until it reaches 360°F.
- Take a chilled ball of cookie dough and pierce it with a skewer until stuck to the skewer.
- Holding the skewer, dip the cookie dough ball into the batter, swirling it in the bowl until it’s completely covered.
- Let excess batter drip back into the bowl, then lower the cookie dough ball into the oil while holding the skewer.
- Hold onto the skewer for about minute, until the fry batter has puffed a little and the ball feels a big buoyant.
- With another skewer, loosen the cookie dough ball from the previous skewer allow it to fry for another minutes, until golden brown.
- Remove them from the oil using a frying skimmer and place them on a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
- Repeat with the rest of the cookie dough balls and batter.
- Drizzle the balls with bourbon cream sauce and a dusting of powdered sugar before serving warm.
