Gourmet Edible Cookie Dough Bites

I think happiness can be found in a little indulgence every now and then. Amen? I love to find new sweet treats to enjoy that will be decadent and perfect in a small size. One thing I love is cookie dough, but we all know that we shouldn't be nibbling on raw cookie dough. So when husband mentioned that we could use our sous vide to pasteurize eggs, making them safe to eat before being cooked, I was intrigued to try my hand at edible cookie dough. And not just any cookie dough, I wanted something a bit extravagant and rich.

A little ingredient brainstorming later, I have three different flavors of gourmet edible cookie dough. I think these bites are perfect for serving at a party or girls' night, a little sweet treat after dinner, or for movie night. However you enjoy them, I think you're going to love them! 

Let me introduce you to... 

Double Chocolate Chunk, a classic with two different types of chocolate.

Mint Chocolate Fudge, a truffle-like dough bite with the sweetest hint of mint.
