Are you looking for a showstopper sweet treat for the holidays? Do you want something that will make even Santa put you at the top of the nice list? These Fried Cookie Dough Bites are it!
One of my pantry staples is Vintage® Seltzer. Besides using seltzer water for cocktails, I often have a couple liter bottles stashed on the shelves for those occasions when I want to make a muffin or cupcake that is a bit lighter with no egg or oil. I also love using seltzer water for those times when I want to break out my Dutch oven and thermometer and whip up a light as a feather tempura batter. Whether it is making the most scrumptious fried crudité for an appetizer platter or these indulgent cookie dough bites, I know that Vintage Seltzer will give my batter the lift it needs.
One of the main reasons I love Vintage Seltzer is that it’s naturally flavored and only contains two ingredients – carbonated water and natural flavors. What’s the difference between seltzer and sparkling water – the amount of carbonation. Seltzer water has a bit more of that bubbly effervescence, while sparkling water has less sparkle and a bit more flavor. I often pick up Vintage Seltzer in the soda aisle and can find it not only in Giant Food Stores, but also in Whole Foods. With the holiday season upon us, Vintage Seltzer will be your right hand in the kitchen. To bring a bit of bubbly to the holiday season, Vintage Seltzer is offering a coupon for $1.00 off, perfect for keeping in the pantry or on the bar cart.
These Fried Cookie Dough Bites will draw oohs and ahhs from your guests. The chocolate chip cookie dough and brownie batter are both delicious on their own for those that love the taste of cookie dough batter but since they are eggless, no worries on raw cookie dough fears. To add to the holiday decadence, I took a nod from one of my favorite pastry chefs, Anne Thornton, and made this light as a feather tempura batter with Vintage Seltzer and coated these lovely bites and let them bubble away in a bit of oil. When hot out of the fryer, I must caution you that the filling is hot hot hot so you might want to let them cool to set up a bit.
To ensure your top opposition on Santa’s Nice List and wow family and friends, whip up these Fried Cookie Dough Bites this holiday season!
