Sometimes I feel cookie dough is more delicious to eat than the actually cookie. But the thought of raw egg does keep one from holding back on wiping the bowl clean. Therefore I was ecstatically happy to find this version which requires no eggs and can be enjoyed as a dessert rather than a cookie. Speckled with luscious nuggets of molten chocolate, a scoop of the cookie dough pudding is a tantalizing indulgence. Children have to be held back when this dessert arrives at the table. A scoop of this delectable cookie dough along side some chopped fruit or a scoop of ice-cream can brighten up any rainy day. Give it a try you won’t regret it!
