"I consider myself a cookie connoisseur, having baked thousands of cookies to develop and test recipes when writing " 108 Asian Cookies," my latest cookbook. I'm always on the hunt for new ideas and recently happened upon a chocolate chip cookie dough sushi recipe making its rounds across At first, I furrowed my brows. Dessert sushi, without rice and made with raw cookie dough? I consider myself an open-minded baker and the dish did intrigue me. And so I went down a cookie rabbit hole."
"See, foodie influencers would transform store-bought cookie dough, ones you can safely eat when raw, into dessert sushi rolls. Then they would dip them into sweet sauces, like melted chocolate or salted caramel sauce, and eat them with chopsticks. And while this cookie dough food hack has recent attention on social media, it turns out the dish has existed for at least 15 years now, served in a restaurant, as reveals."
"To make chocolate chip cookie dough sushi at home, influencers start with a package of store-bought cookie dough and roll it flat between sheets of parchment paper. They then layer on whipped cream, frosting, or ice cream, along with various toppings such as candies, nuts, or dried fruits. Everything is then rolled up jelly-roll style, frozen until firm, and sliced into bite-sized dessert 'sushi' rolls. Chopsticks are a must, of course, and so are some sweet sauces to pair with the dessert sushi rolls."
"While I honestly still don't love that folks call this dish sushi because it's not Japanese in origin and doesn't contain any rice whatsoever, I like how fun it is to make and how versatile the recipe is. Let's say you're not a chocolate chip cookie dough lover. Or you just can't fathom the idea of eating raw cookie dough, even when it's processed and safe to consume."
A trending dessert transforms store-bought edible cookie dough into sushi-like rolls by rolling the dough flat, layering whipped cream, frosting, or ice cream, adding candies, nuts, or dried fruits, then rolling jelly-roll style, freezing until firm, and slicing into bite-sized pieces. The rolls are commonly dipped in sweet sauces such as melted chocolate or salted caramel and eaten with chopsticks. The food hack gained recent social media attention but has been served in restaurants for at least 15 years. Some object to calling the creation sushi because it contains no rice and is not Japanese in origin. Variations use raw-safe dough or Oreos.
