COOKIE DOUGH DOUGHNUTS

When I asked Todd what he wanted for dessert on his birthday, he told me "cookie dough". Hmmm, okay. I can do that I guess. I know the man also loves doughnuts. He used to consume them on a very regular and not-so-secretive basis, before we went vegan. However, living in Alaska, I can't think of a single place to purchase a vegan doughnut. Even the crappy drugstore kind (he loves those too) aren't vegan. Thus, Todd hasn't had a single doughnut in a very long time.

Aware of this doughnut famine, a while back I bought an actual doughnut pan. When he told me he wanted only cookie dough for his birthday dessert, I knew instantly what needed to be done. Cookie dough doughnuts. This was the first time I had ever used the pan and it worked perfectly. I was a little afraid that the doughnuts would taste, well, not really like doughnuts specifically. Just because they're in the shape of a doughnut does not mean a doughnut they will be. You feel me? But, doughnuts these most definitely were!

Ingredients

• Doughnuts
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup vegan sugar
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• ¼ tsp. kosher salt
• ¾ cup water
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• Frosting
• ½ cup vegan butter, room temperature
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• ¾ cup vegan sugar
• 1 ¼-½ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp. kosher salt
• ¼ cup v egan milk
• 1 heaping cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour through and including the salt for the doughnuts. Make a well in the center with a large spoon.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the water through and including the vanilla for the doughnuts. Pour into the dry well, while stirring. Stir until just combined.
3. Preheat oven to 375 F and coat a donut pan with a nonstick cooking spray. Spoon batter into each doughnut mold, only filling about ¾ the way.
4. Bake at 375 F for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest for a minute before removing the doughnuts and placing them on a wire cooling rack. Repeat with remaining batter.
5. Meanwhile, beat the butter, vanilla, and sugar in an electric mixer on medium until light and fluffy. Slowly add the flour, salt, and milk. Beat until well combined, and then fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Once the doughnuts have cooled slightly, spread a thick layer of the cookie dough on top. Repeat with remaining doughnuts. Freeze any leftover cookie dough to eat later!
7. Mow down.
