Raw Egg less Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls

I know its season of baking but sometimes you need easy and no-bake dessert. You can make these raw cookie dough balls and pack it nicely and it's going to be the perfect gift for Christmas. In this recipe, I am using flour, it's not raw, I roasted flour on the slow flame so its "cooked" so you don't have to worry about eating raw flour.

For a vegan version, you can use vegan butter, agave, and vegan chocolate chip. For gluten-free, use oats and cashew instead of flour and to give a more royal look, you can dip the balls in melted chocolate and its truffles.



Ingredients :

1/2 cup softened butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup Brown sugar
1 tsp Pure Vanilla extract
1 cup toasted Flour ( I used WW)
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips


Method : 


In a big bowl, mix together butter, white and brown sugar.

Add in vanilla extract, flour and salt, and mix till dough forms.

Stir in chocolate chips.

To make it one size balls, use ice cream scooper and scoop out dough and roll into a ball.

Put the balls on parchment paper and freeze it for 30 minutes or until its partially frozen.

Enjoy as it is, or pack it and send it to your loved ones.

To make truffles, dip those balls in chocolate and put it in the fridge till it hardens.

Spicy Chili Garlic Edamame

Whenever we go to a Chinese restaurant, we have to order Hot and sour soup, sushi, spicy edamame and then we go thru menu for main dishes.  So now I started making sushi at home and soup is always easy to make it, the only thing left is spicy edamame. Was looking for that perfect recipe and found it, made it and loved it so have to share it with you all. Here we get frozen vegetables in a bag, just have to microwave it and its ready for use. So for this recipe, I have used a frozen one, if you are using it fresh then first blanched it and then proceed with the recipe.


Ingredients : 

1   12 oz. Steam in a bag frozen  Edamame with shells
4   Big cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2   tbsp Huy Fong Chili Garlic sauce
1   tbsp Mayo
2   tsp Soya sauce
1/2  tsp Sesame oil
Sea salt flakes and sesame seeds - Optional

Method:

Microwave the edamame bag as per the instructions. Take out in the bowl so it will cool down. Its very important to have room temperature shells.



Take a small fry pan and put it on medium heat. Add sesame oil and then garlic. Saute till garlic is cooked but not burn.

Remove from heat and again let it cool.

Then add mayo, soya sauce, chili garlic sauce. Mix it nicely and add edamame in it and mix it so it coats on shells nicely.

Sprinkle some sea salt and sesame seeds and enjoy.
