COOKIE DOUGH CHEESE BALL RECIPE

I mean who doesn’t like a creamy cookie dough-ish ball to dip graham crackers in?

The first time I made this I had to keep swatting my kids hands away because they could not stop trying to eat it.

HOW TO MAKE A COOKIE DOUGH CHEESE BALL

Once you’ve made your dough let it chill for just a little bit until it’s form enough to be formed into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and for a few hours.

Roll in chopped pecans.

At this point you can freeze for a few months.

WHAT TO DIP IN THIS

Pretzels

Graham crackers

Nilla wafers
