These Deep-Fried Cookie Dough Balls have a crispy and golden batter coating and a gooey cookie dough interior. Dust them in powdered sugar for an unbelievable sweet treat.
We are right in the middle of State Fair season which makes me think of all kinds of crazy fried foods, like Deep Fried Peanut Butter Cups.
I’m not sure which I like better- Deep Fried Cookie Dough or Deep Fried Peanut Butter Cups. They’re both so good!
So many sweets taste good deep fried. Even candy corn.
To make Deep Fried Cookie Dough, you start with an easy cookie dough recipe made with butter, flour, baking powder, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and eggs. It’s best if you use pasteurized eggs since the interior doesn’t get fully cooked. You should be able to find them at most grocery stores, but they do cost more.
Once the cookie dough is made, you form it into balls and then freeze it for 1 hour. This helps them hold their shape as they fry.
The partially frozen cookie dough balls are dipped in an easy batter of Bisquick and milk and then fried in vegetable oil until golden brown. Eat while still warm and be sure to enjoy with a tall glass of milk.
