Mmmmm Deep Fried Cookie Dough. In October, while at the State of Fair of Texas for the Red River Rivalry, I discovered this treat. For the last 5 months, I have been wanting to recreate it for myself. Well that time has arrived…
Here is the original inspiration. I am developing this for my Tailgating Tour Book Proposal, so I wanted the dish to have an egg less dough that would be safe to take to a tailgate.
With an egg less dough there is no worries about salmonella that could happen when consuming raw cookie dough. The lack of eggs gives the dough a slightly different consistency than your normal cookie dough, but when fried and warm, it is delicious!
Here is what I came up with.
Deep Fried Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Makes 12 servings
Dough
4 tbsp softened butter
1/4 cup light brown sugar
3 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1-2 tbsp water
corn starch for rolling dough in
In a large mixing bowl, cream together light brown sugar, sugar and butter. While mixing, add vanilla and 1 tbsp of oil, followed by slowly adding the 1/2 cup flour. Add salt, followed by second tbsp of oil. The dough may be dry and crumbly. While mixing, slowly add enough water to give the dough a moist but not overly wet consistency. Mix in chocolate chips.
Remove from mixer and roll dough between your palms into ping pong size balls. Roll in corn starch, shake to remove excess flour.
Batter
1 Egg
1 cup Ice Cold Water
1 cup Self Rising flour
2 tbsp Confectioners Sugar
With a fork, mix together egg and water. Add flour and sugar to egg and water mix. Dip cookie dough balls in batter, make sure that the dough is completely covered in batter so that they won’t leak out dough when frying. Using a slotted spoon or mesh spider quickly place 3-4 at a time in 375 F oil for 1 and a half to 2 minutes minutes until golden brown on the outside. Serve in paper trays and top with chocolate sauce and powdered sugar.

When done, it should look something like this…
You can eat it like this or top it with powdered sugar and chocolate syrup !
Either way…
This dessert won’t last very long!
On a side note…
With Thursday being Saint Patrick’s Day I thought I would share the only food tradition I do for the Holiday.
GREEN BEER! Even though this beverage is pretty self explanatory to make (green food coloring and beer), I still thought I would demonstrate how. Have a great St Patty’s day!
We just discovered your blog and those cookie balls look FREAKIN’ amazing!!! But, Dude, the green beer??? Sounds like you might need to visit our blog and check out our Irish Mojito recipe! It’s green AND delicious! Cheers!
The Fashionably Bombed Girls
Flannery & Katherine Thanks! Glad you like the cookie dough. I looked at the mojito, it looks great! Yes, what can I say, I do like my green beer on St. Patrick’s day!
Yummy! The cookie dough sounds awesome.
Also, the head on that beer is perfect! Nice work 🙂
Thanks Kaitlin!
THAT LOOKS INSANE! I’ve never actually seen that before anywhere! Crazy stuff and so bookmarked!
Thanks Sarah! Glad you liked it!
Oh my God the deep fried cookie dough looks amazing and your amazing photos have made my mouth water! I love the photo of the deep fried dough drizzled in chocolate syrup. Looks like heaven!
Thanks Jennifer, it contributes to the argument that frying makes things better.
Those cookie dough balls are insane! There’s just too many good things happening there. Those wouldn’t last very long around me either!
Thanks Sylvie! Glad you liked them!
WILL BE FRYING COOKIE DOUGH ASAP.
Just when I start trying to talk myself into eating less fried food I come across this. You know a southern girl has got to try this! YUM!
YUM. I had some at the State Fair of Texas last year…along with a fried peanut butter & jelly sandwich. Looks like you did a fantastic job recreating them!
This sounds utterly indecently good, I know what comfort I’m turning to next time I’m in need of a sweet treat!
Looks delish, just like the ones at the fair! Quick question: How much chocolate chips did you use for the recipe? I don’t see them listed… Thanks!
Thanks Alicia! 1/4 cup of chocolate chips, u can use regular size or the mini size if you want!
You are killing me. I haven’t even had breakfast yet and now all I want deep fried dough.
On another note: love your site! Keep up the great work.
Thanks Steph, glad you like the site! Sorry for making you want cookie dough.
Just came across your blog – how could I NOT comment on this? Cookie dough is my favorite – then frying it? WOW.
Deep fried what?! Yum!! I’d love for you to submit this to the M&T Spotlight at http://www.makeandtakes.com/spotlight
Oh my! Talk about a treat!
They look absolutely amazing. Why do you use self-rising flour for the batter? Would it work ok if I used all-purpose? I only ask because they look so good I want to make them ASAP but I only have all purpose in the house.
Erica! So glad to hear that you liked it. It should work with regular, there is really only one way to find out, try it and see. I used Self Rising because it is what I had on hand, and I was very happy with the results! I hope you enjoy them!
oh my! Those look absolutely incredible. I’m a lover of fried oreos… but the fried cookie dough balls look even tastier!!
Thanks Lauren! Fried Oreos are delicious as well!
That looks like 35,483 kinds of delicious.
I saw this on Tastespotting or foodgawker the other day and was in love, then you just came up in stumbledupon so I figure it must be fate. I have got to try these.
OMG, how wicked are these! Brilliant twist on the usual choco chip cookie. 😉
Thanks Carolyn!
These are the best! I tried adding oreo crumbs and they worked amazing.
Glad to hear! Adding Oreo crumbs is an awesome idea!
Looks fantastic!
BTW, note that you can get pasteurized eggs — Bristol Farms carries them where we live — so that you can have raw eggs in your cookie dough or caesar salads and not have to worry about salmonella.
this would be a dessert that would get devoured in my house and every bite would be embraced! love your photos!
This looks too good to be true…
Us Texans definitely know how to do it right. I did not get to the Texas State Fair this year, and I am filled with regret and remorse all over again.
This is beautiful. My fiancee and I are working on a Carnival/Fair themed reception when we get married in 2012 all we’ve found so far besides the typical funnel cake was deep fried Coke and Deep fried bananas… I’m totally gonna suggest this to him now!
I’M ACTUALLY DROOLING!!!
Thanks Niamh! I consider that the highest of compliments
Thanks for sharing your beautiful work and for definitely making me hungry – I am salivating here in Australia! Keep up the fun posts!

this can also be done with oreos
Deep fried oreos sound delicious!
Just found this site through SU – fantastic recipe – what you need to do is a video cooking these it would be so awesome seeing these little bombs of chocolate heaven being made.
Please make a video. Great stuff thanks.

Amanda

Do you need to freeze these before frying?
Hey Stefanie. No you don’t need to freeze them
