Let's cook with our recipes!
EGG FREE, NO-BAKE COOKIE DOUGH (FOR EATING!)
Everyone has those nights where they just want to curl up with a movie and a bowl of ice cream or cookie dough. This cookie dough is perfect for doing so- it is low in salt, quick to whip up, and tastes absolutely delicious frozen. Homemade cookie dough is wonderful on top of all kinds of desserts, too. (When making cookie dough that is not being baked, leave out the eggs and substitute them with a little water if needed to avoid the chance of getting Salmonella.)

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients except for the water in a bowl. It helps if you cream the margarine separately and then add it to the bowl to avoid spending a long time trying to smooth out pieces of margarine. The mixture will be very crumbly and dry because the eggs were left out (to avoid salmonella issues when eating raw). Gradually begin adding small amounts of water until dough reaches desired consistency.
- Store in the fridge or freezer (not at room temperature or it will quickly spoil because it contains uncooked margarine). Eat with a spoon or place on top of pies, ice cream cakes, cheesecake, homemade icecream, or frozen yogurt!
NO-BAKE OREO TRUFFLE SNOWMEN
These cookies-and-cream snowman truffles are almost too cute to eat -- almost. Coating them in melting wafers gives the snowmen a smooth, white finish that looks like what you'd get at a chocolate store, but is easy to achieve at home.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Process the cookies in a food processor to fine crumbs. Transfer to a medium bowl and add the cream cheese. Stir and work with a wooden spoon until smooth and completely combined.
- Roll about two-thirds of the mixture into 16 balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and put on the prepared baking sheet. Roll the remaining mixture into 16 smaller balls (about 1 teaspoon each). Freeze until just beginning to firm up, about 15 minutes.
- Press a small truffle onto each large truffle to make snowmen, then press a lollipop stick through the top of each snowman so that it sits up with the stick coming out of the head (it's ok if the truffles crack during this step; just form them back together with your fingers). Put the baking sheet in the freezer while you heat the melting wafers.
- Microwave the melting wafers and 1 teaspoon coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl on 50 percent power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted. (Alternatively, melt in a double boiler.) Add another teaspoon of coconut oil if the mixture is too thick.
- Holding a snowman by the stick, dip it into the white coating mixture to coat completely, letting as much excess drip off as possible. Return to the baking sheet. While the coating is still wet, press an orange candy onto the head for a nose. Press 2 mini candy-coated chocolates onto the sides of the head for earmuffs. Repeat with the remaining snowmen. Refrigerate until the coating is set, about 5 minutes.
- Wrap a sour belt strip around the neck of each snowman, using a dot of the coating mixture as glue to secure it.
- Combine the chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon coconut oil and 1/2 teaspoon black food coloring in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted. Transfer to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag and snip off the corner. Pipe on the eyes and a band connecting the earmuffs over the top of each head. Pipe 3 buttons down the front of each snowman's body. Refrigerate until completely set, about 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F.
- In large bowl, combine cake mix, oil and eggs; beat until well mixed.
- Place coconut in shallow bowl.
- For each cookie, use a cookie dough scoop to shape a 1-1/2-inch ball for the body, and a melon baller to shape a 1/2-inch ball for the head.
- Roll each ball in coconut; place on ungreased cookie sheet with smaller ball touching larger ball.
- Place cookies 1-1/2-inches apart.
- Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until coconut just begins to brown.
- Immediately press eyes into head and buttons down the front of the snowman's body for each cookie.
- Remove from cookie sheet to cool, taking care not to let the head separate from the body!
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips. - To make the snowmen even more festive, add a few drops of peppermint extract to the cookie dough. - If you don't have any white chocolate chips, you can use regular chocolate chips and melt them in the microwave. - Be sure to chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before shaping it into snowmen. This will help the dough to firm up and make it easier to work with. - When shaping the snowmen, be sure to press the dough firmly together so that they don't fall apart. - If you're having trouble getting the dough to stick together, you can add a little bit of water or milk. - Be creative with your decorations! You can use candy, sprinkles, or even edible markers to decorate your snowmen. - Serve the snowmen immediately or store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.Conclusion:
These no-bake cookie dough snowmen are a fun and easy treat that is perfect for the holidays. They're made with just a few simple ingredients and can be decorated in endless ways. So get creative and have fun making these delicious treats!
