I saw this and I immediately want to cook it. I thought to myself, why haven't I thought about this before?!

Ingredients

Dough

• 4 tbsp softened butter
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup  flour
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips
• 1-2 tbsp water
• Corn starch

Batter

• 1 egg
• 1 cup ice cold water
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 2 tbsp confectioners sugar

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, cream together light brown sugar, sugar and butter. While mixing, add vanilla and 1 tbsp of oil, followed by slowly adding the 1/2 cup flour. Add salt, followed by second tbsp of oil. The dough may be dry and crumbly. While mixing, slowly add enough water to give the dough a moist but not overly wet consistency. Mix in chocolate chips.

Remove from mixer and roll dough between your palms into ping pong size balls. Roll in corn starch, shake to remove excess flour.

With a fork, mix together egg and water. Add flour and sugar to egg and water mix. Dip cookie dough balls in batter, make sure that the dough is completely covered in batter so that they won’t leak out dough when frying. Using a slotted spoon or mesh spider quickly place 3-4 at a time in 375 F oil for 1 and a half to 2 minutes minutes until golden brown on the outside.  Serve in paper trays and top with chocolate sauce and powdered sugar.

Review

Ummmm. This was heavenly. I waited until after dinner to dip this in the deep fryer and so I just had the cookie dough waiting in the mixer and I couldn't stop myself from eating the cookie dough. But after it was deep fried and accompanied with the ice cream, I was just blown away with how delicious it was. On top of that, it was very simple to make and there are so many variations you can do with this. For example instead of chocolate chip, I could put in white chocolate and macadamia nuts. This is definitely a dessert I am going to try over and over again.
