Enjoy This Week’s CommonHealth Weekly Wellnote

C’mon, you know you’ve done it. You’ve snuck some of that oh, so good uncooked cookie dough thinking, “Oh, I hope I don’t get sick. And I hope my kids don’t see.” Check out this new WW recipe for a safe-to-eat cookie dough. And the sprinkles? Well, that just makes it pretty!

Confetti Cookie Dough
Here’s a safe-to-eat version of cookie dough that’s made healthier with chickpeas and powdered almond butter. A small amount of brown sugar, along with a splash of vanilla extract, gives it caramel-like richness, while cream cheese and almond milk help it blend to a smooth, creamy consistency. Multi-colored sprinkles go in for a good dose of fun and an extra hit of sweetness. For a festive touch, pick up special holiday-themed sprinkles—for Christmas, Halloween, Valentine’s Day, Fourth of July, and more—to give your cookie dough a seasonal spin.
