Sugar Cookie Dough Balls





This recipe is a copycat recipe for the original cookie dough cookies created by Annie the Baker. You can order the original cookies online at this site or you can just try to make them at home like I successfully did. These cookies are catered towered "those who love cookie dough more than the cookie." So they're basically cookies that taste like cookie dough. The key to this recipe is not to overbake. Even if the cookies don't look done at ten minutes, they are.

  1. Cool ash, I have some friends that make that too. Did you get your food coloring somewhere specific? Those are bright fun colors. You should try baking birthday cakes with it

  2. I just used "Betty Crocker Jell Food Colors." I actually went out and bought a new box though because the one in our pantry was like a year old so I tossed it, but I didnt think these would work well but obviously they worked really well. i only had to use like 4 drops of color for each block
