I think that chocolate chip cookies may be my all time favorite dessert. On this blog, I have posted three different versions of them including a vegan recipe, the famous Momofuku and the NY Times best cookie ever. If you look through some of my breads and muffins, I am always adding chocolate chips–see: banana chocolate muffins .
Who invented chocolate chips? They are perfection!
This recipe for deep dish cookie pie comes from Chocolate Covered Katie’s blog. Not only are these vegan and gluten free–they have a bit of extra fiber thrown in—-(shhh….there are beans in these).
I tried to make her cookie dough dip at Christmas and was not impressed–I kept thinking it was hummus with chocolate chips thrown in. I was a little apprehensive with these for that same reason but….I was pleasantly surprised. Fortunately for me, no one else was brave enough to try these and I ate the entire pan alone. But, they are healthy, right?
My dad is going to be celebrating my grandpa’s 85th birthday this weekend and I am begging him to make these. His side of the family consists of All American folks–Pepsi, Doritos, and maybe some Costco potato salad-I would love to see if these can get snuck into the party dessert table. I expect that they will get snatched up at the party!
