Edible Sugar Cookie Dough is a delicious egg-free treat that is ready to enjoy in just 5 minutes. Great sugar cookie flavor, no baking required.
Growing up my mom & I would bake a lot. One thing we always did was save the last bit of cookie dough in the bottom of the mixer bowl to snack on while the cookies baked.
We also had our fair share of nibbling throughout the baking as well. We never gave a second thought to the idea that the dough had raw eggs in it.
View postApple Pie Mug Cake, everything you love about cinnamon & apple pie in an easy 3-minute mug cake. Quick & easy desserts don’t get any better than this.
I have a house full of people who absolutely can’t get enough cinnamon. It’s probably because the hubs grew up in a place called Apple Hill in California.
Orchards were everywhere & there was certainly an abundance of apple pie happening. But we joke that the reason my son is so crazy for cinnamon is because I ate sticky buns nearly every single day when I was expecting him.

Do you love Cherry Pie this time of year?? I know my family does. For me- I don’t really like to wait for the pie itself- plus all that filling is a bit much for me.
I prefer to make the filling & use it to drizzle on other things- more like a topping than a filling. But the recipe for it remains the same.

Recipes like this one are so easy that there’s really no excuse for me to have to go without anymore. I just mix the dough before I go to bed & let it sit. After we are done with the chaos of breakfast the next morning I pop it in the oven to bake. The house smells amazing.

I have a confession to make. I really LOVE M&M’s. Like really, really love them. My favorite NASCAR driver is Kyle Busch – partly (mostly) because he drives the M&M’s car. At least that’s why I chose him as my favorite driver years ago.
But really – I can’t get enough & it seems I’m always picking up a bag of either the Milk Chocolate M&M’s or the Peanut M&M’s & then usually whatever specialty holiday version is out. Because…well, you know they just taste different when they are decorated for a holiday – right??!! 🙂
