This weekend was LDS General Conference... and that means 8 hours of yelling at my kids to be quiet so we can be taught and uplifted!
It such a juxtaposition, and an imposition ::Clears throat:: Sings: Come follow me the SHUT YOUR MOUTH STOP HITTING YOUR BROTHER his foot steps tread, for thus alone I SAID GIVE IT TO HIM NOOOOOW!!!
Well we have these bingo sheets i printed out and laminated, a few years back so we went that course rather than the aforementioned plan of action. We have before used skittles or m&ms as the bingo chips but today i wanted to do something special! )also i was freash out of skittles or m&ms I had some miniature vegan chocolate chips so we took that and ran with it Vegan Chocolate "Bingo Chip" Cookies!!!
The secret here is in the scoop!! At first i tried to just roll little tiny cookie dough balls, but the cookies turned out like little tiny balls of baked cookie dough. So I rummaged through the old kitchen drawers for another option, after a few contenders(chopstick, no... strawberry gouger, no... potato peeler, nope) i came to a melon baller!!
So the secret here is to first, scoop the dough and press it into the baller on the side of the bowl, then while pressing against the bowl, sorta rock the scoop in a circular motion so as to trim off the remaining dough. Now you tap the scoop on the rim of the bowl and catch the "bingo chip" cookie in your other hand. Voila! perfect size and shape
Delicious mini Vegan chocolate chip cookies
Playing conference bingo... so hard not to eat the pieces BEFORE getting a bingo!!
The perfect size pieces!
