It’s Football Food Friday again, which is always my favorite post to write! I have a confession to make about these little Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites – I made them last night, because I was a total slacker this week. You see, I usually make all of my blog recipes on Saturdays, but last Saturday I did a bunch of cleaning that I’d totally been slacking on, so my recipes got pushed to the back burner. So, if you happened to notice that I didn’t post a recipe on Tuesday, that’s the reason why.

Well, last night came around, and I remembered that I had nothing to post for Football Food Friday, and I went into panic mode, and made these. Why do I love them so much? They don’t call for any eggs or milk, two very basic ingredients that our house does not have at the moment. I guess maybe I’ve been slacking on going to the grocery too? Oh, and I also love them because they’re delicious, and seriously how perfect would they be as a 4th quarter sweet treat? So, if anyone else out there is low on basic groceries, might I suggest putting off going to the store for one more night and making these instead?

1/3 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp vanilla
1 cup flour
pinch of salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Beat together the butter, brown sugar, and vanilla.

Gradually beat in the flour and salt.
