Delicious Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

I am 25 weeks pregnant with my second girl. I had the most difficult time avoiding my chocolate chip
cookie dough with my first pregnancy. I love the dough baked into cookies, but there is something about the dough that I love even more. I happened upon post a month or so ago for chocolate chip cookie dough cake pops. She said to substitute 2 TBSP of milk for every egg. I would give her credit, but I can't find the post. I had the hankering for something sweet that day and decided to try it with my very own chocolate chip cookie recipe. I cut my normal recipe in 1/4, in case it didn't work out. Oh my goodness! The dough tastes EXACTLY like my regular cookie dough. I am in big trouble since I discovered this.  Now I need to practice self-control and limit my quantity.


I need to make a little disclaimer.
This recipe is NOT intended to be low fat or low sugar. I am a firm believer in eating things how they are supposed to be made. I do eat very healthy while I am pregnant. There are sometimes that you just need something sweet. I created this recipe strictly to have cookie dough balls that I can eat while I am pregnant or nursing.

You can see that I snuck a few dough balls before I put them in the freezer. :)

Let me know if you try the recipe and if you like it.
Meanwhile, I will sit back, continue watching game 2 of the World Series, and snack on a few dough balls.
