Cookie dough is my favorite flavor of ice cream, the raw form of my favorite dessert, and is overall one of the greatest food groups. I am the type of person that buys a tub of Tollhouse chocolate chip cookie dough just to eat it with a spoon. However, there are some much fancier ways to incorporate cookie dough into your diet.
