Gretchen's Cookie Dough Madness

My friend Gretchen was in town last week from Indiana. We used to have a grand ole time when she lived in Austin almost 2 year ago! Of course we had a blast, and we are not ashamed to admit that on Saturday night we opted for dessert and a movie. It was prefect, except that the movie was awful (Dinner for Schmucks)! I really enjoyed Gretchen's famous cookie dough madness though!

Actually, I had never had it before, but I cannot count the number of times she has told me about this dessert, how you make it, how good it is, etc. etc. After more than 2 years, I can finally confirm that she was SO right! Warm, gooey cookie dough with a little crunch was made for ice cream!

This is so easy and so so bad, but so so good- I think you deserve a little treat every now and then. Warning- do not leave leftover cookie dough in your fridge or you may make this again the next day when your friends are gone!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls!

THESE ARE AMAZING. I just had to get it out as fast as I could. They are seriously the best things ever! Joy the Baker was NOT lying. :) I'm warning you though, once you make these, you will never be able to get them out of your head. They'll be invading your thoughts from the freezer....

I made these a while ago. I needed something sweet like 5 minutes before I even found this recipe.  I did not have time to wait for anything to bake, and I did not have time to make them into perfect shapes. That also meant I did not have any time to waste taking photos- sorry. The cookie dough was whipped up in like 5 minutes, and um, maybe I did not even freeze all of it...  Although, I have to say it is MUCH better frozen, now that I'm enjoying the fruits of my labor a couple weeks later. I did not dip mine in melted chocolate like Joy did, but I'm sure that would be extra amazing. I'm just happy with the dough balls though.
