Happy Friday!
Happy June 1!
Somehow I was in a panic earlier today when I started thinking we were already halfway through the year.
I even posted it on Facebook…
Happy June 1!!! Who else besides me is having a hard time believing we are already half way through 2012??? In honor of the 2012 half-way mark, I think it’s time for a sweet celebration! Check back soon for my sweet creation!
As my friend, KB, might say, my “thinker” wasn’t working very well today 🙂
Thank goodness Shelly brought me back to my senses when she sweetly replied {I’m sure so I wouldn’t feel too bad about my slip up}
Isn’t the half-way mark on July 1st? So now you get an extra month – savor it!!!
So even though we aren’t halfway through 2012 yet {whew!}, I think we should all heed Shelly’s advice, and savor a little sweet treat.

Raw cookie dough balls are one of my favorite indulgences! These little bites are a great!
We have a nearby shop that makes all kinds of raw dough goodies (although they don’t call it that) and we love them, although they are expensive. I have made a kind of raw blueberry cheesecake type thing that was delish (and taken dreadful photos of so haven’t blogged it yet until that’s rectified). Generally I try and stay clear of these things because although healthy, tiny things are hard to eat in moderation. Especially when you have a husband who has the metabolism of a hummingbird and can scoff anything he likes, and in any quantity, without gaining an ounce. I really should hate him. No, I’m not bitter! Lovely oaty balls, m’love
June, July….they both start with a ‘J’! 🙂 LOL! Your summer celebration treats looks yummers! Nice part is that they don’t require the oven being turned on. Quick, easy and whole ingredients…pretty awesome in my book!!!
These look super yummy and I just posted them to my pinterest low FODMAP recipe board. I will definitely be trying these.
I’ve never made raw cookie balls before but these sound really good. It would feel like licking the bowl every time you ate one.
Using two tablespoons of maple syrup per recipe, a Costco 1/2 gallon of maple syrup will allow you to make a 64x recipe. Be sure to drop some by the house and encourage Si-Si to set up a stand on the street corner. One never can have too much maple syrup!
These were so easy to make, I will definitely make more and send them your way if you keep me stocked in maple syrup 🙂
It’s been a long time since I made raw cookie dough balls. Yours sound delicious!
I’m glad we aren’t half way through the year yet! 🙂
Thanks Andrea! Me too 🙂
If you like all these ingredients, I think you will love these dough balls Julie 🙂
I made raw carrot cake balls at work the other day, for the customers and team members, and they LOVED them!! So…I think I’ll be making these soon 🙂 With a few modifications. I can’t wait! I know they will be a hit!
Enjoy your weekend 🙂
I need to get your raw carrot cake ball recipe Gina-yum!!
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought of making cookie balls recently. I see them everywhere and know my fam would love them. Yours look delish, of course 😉
Thanks Regan! I was the same way too…I saw so many delicious ideas, and now that I’ve made these and they were SO easy, I’m thinking why did I ever wait so long!
These look wonderful! I haven’t made raw cookies before but I need to try it.
Thanks Ann! And, yes, you do. Soon 🙂
LOL! That’s my problem — trying to manage to save sweet treats when I make them.
I’m usually pretty good about having just a little, but I’m having a hard time resisting these so i can save them for tomorrow’s surprise 🙂
