This week I was lacking inspiration, and turned to my son for help: “what should I make this week Braden?” He thought for a second, before replying: “chocolate cookie dough balls with mint chocolate chips!” He and I are the mint chocolate chip ice cream lovers of the family, but the rest of them don’t care for it too much. So I took his brilliant idea a step further with dark chocolate and sea salt cookie dough. Something that the whole family– both adults and kids– can get excited about. I have a regular cookie dough recipe up on here already, but this one takes it to a whole new level and is a new personal and family fave! As usual, I hope you guys love it as much as we do. P.S. Don’t be put off by the amount of butter in this recipe. It makes a LOT of cookie dough, so you can please a crowd, or freeze them and snack on them for a month, or you can always halve the recipe too.
