Yum-o-meter: 5/5
Difficulty: 2.5/5
Notes: If you love chocolate and you LOVE eating raw cookie dough, this is THE recipe for you. These were literally inhaled: I made them for Dickens' bicentennial birthday last Tuesday and they were gone in a jiffy. And best of all, they are egg-free and perfectly safe (although definitely not sinless)!
