Cookie dough is crazy delicious. It was always a treat to eat the dough raw as a kid because you weren’t supposed to. I had always assumed it was only for making cookies, but I’m (thankfully) totally wrong. I’m going to show you some recipes that incorporate raw — yes, raw— cookie dough.

Another recipe takes ice cream, snickerdoodle, pumpkin and cookie dough and creates a refreshing ice cream sandwich. The cookie dough holds this sandwich together, making each bite a sweet balance of cinnamon, pumpkin and cookie dough. This is especially nice on those hot days that happen pretty much every day in LA.
