A while back I asked you all what kind of recipes you couldn’t get enough of. It was almost overwhelming how many requests I got for sweets, treats, and “anything with sugar!” P&C is all about the veggies… but nevertheless I wanted to put a smile on your sweet faces for being so amazingly supportive of me and for just overall brightening my day. So I set off to bake something fun, something interesting, and something that I could make without setting the oven (or myself!) on fire.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dessert Won-tons
This recipe makes anywhere from 6-20 dessert wontons – I made 6 and the cookie dough magically disappeared when Paul got home. He may or may not have been found hugging the ball of cookie dough in bliss. I may or may not have joined him in eating it =) It was magical.
The following recipe was adapted from this Taste of Home recipe – which gave me a baller recipe for the cookie dough! They fried the wontons though. Noooot on this blog, buddy! Let’s faux fry them, shall we?
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dessert Won-tons
Yield 20 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup butter; softened
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/8 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp So Delicious Coconut Milk or Creamer
- 1 cup of Hersey's Special Dark chocolate chips
- 20 Nasoya wonton wrappers (or less if you plan on eating half the dough. *ahem!*)
- powdered sugar + extra chocolate chips for topping
- olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Combine flour and salt in a small bowl.
- Using an electric mixer, cream softened butter (alone) until light and fluffy. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla to butter. Beat well.
- Add coconut milk (or cream) to mixture slowly while beating. Next slowly add the flour while mixing.
- Stir in chocolate chips + viola! Cookie dough!
- Back off the cookie dough! Make sure some of it actually makes it into the wontons =) or you can scratch the entire project right off the bat and sit down on the couch with your marvelous creation. But at least make a couple wontons... They're fun and crunchy!
- If you want a cookie-doughy center refrigerate the cookie dough for 15-30 minutes before baking. For a warm cookie dough center, simply assemble and bake.
- To prep the wonton wrappers, lay flat and moisten fingers with water. It helps to have a little cup of water handy while assembling the wontons.
- Run your finger along two sides of the wrapper to moisten, and add a small dollop of cookie dough to the center of the wonton.
- Fold into a triangle and press, the thin layer of water should act like a glue and help you press the edges into little pouches.
- Seal em up and pop them on a wire grilling rack, cooling rack, or whatever else they call the sheet below. Haha! If you don't have one, know that they are absolutely genius and you should totally start stalking amazon.com for one =) True story.
- My favorite technique ever for crispy veggie "fries", mozzarella balls, and crispy wontons is to layer a wire grilling rack onto a foil lined cookie pan. Its like pizza... if you want a crispy crust, you toss it right on the rack, right? Same concept... Same glorious results.
- Brushing the wontons with butter or olive oil will work, but the crispiest, most evenly golden results were achieved with a super light spritz of the spray. Luckily there are natural ones available, just read your labels to make sure you're getting the "good stuff!"
- After spraying, bake for 10-12 minutes or until gorgeously golden brown.
- Melt a few chocolate chips and drizzle over the wontons + dust with powdered sugar for a pretty snazzy dessert.
brontosaurus chefs use a butter substitute and viola! vegan
T-Rex chefs you can use the coconut milk, coconut milk creamer, or heavy cream
These were delicious! The wonton was light and crunchy and the cookie dough turned into a cookie around the edges with a gooey doughy center. It was a fun combo of textures!
I didn’t have the ingredients needed, or the patience, to make sugary dipping sauces to go with my wontons but the Taste of Home peeps did, so i’ll share them here in case your the kind of chef that likes to dip your sugar in more sugar. Candysaurus chefs?
- Chocolate Sauce In a medium-size microwave safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup heavy cream on high heat. Microwave 1 minute, stirring in 20 second intervals, or until chips are smooth and creamy.
- Raspberry Sauce In a medium-size sauce pan heat raspberries, 1/4 cup sugar and lime juice to a boil over medium heat. Stir, mashing raspberries with back of spoon. Reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until sugar is dissolved.
Hope you enjoyed dessert! <3
Veggies are on the menu from here on out 😉 Muahahaha!
Omfg :O Please come bake this for me…=D
I think I’m in love.
I love pretty much anything in a wonton and these look fabulous, girl!! I am going to have to try your faux fry technique too – I love the crunchy. 🙂
Girl can you please bake more often? Holy yum these look fabulous!! I could eat all of them 🙂
This is so clever. I never would have even remotely thought to put cookie dough in wontons! I’m so curious to try them. And thanks for the tip on getting things crispy in the oven, too. Why have I never thought of that?! Makes perfect sense.
YUMMYYYYY!!!!!
Yum, yum, yum….I take one (or 3) please!
My fav dessert: Banana flambe (or foster) with some bite-sized browines and ice cream. A resturant in my town serves this, and it’s absolutely divine.
That looks incredible! It seriously looks like something from a restaurant. Yum!
Gah! That is AMAZING!
Anything with “cookie” in the word generally is. But this… this… oh dear
These look amazing Jenn! I’ve told you before, I’m a complete sucker for cookie dough!
“Pimpin’ ain’t easy… But Faux-Frying is! <3” <- Haha! Love it!
Baking ain’t hard either…just gotta have confidence! Hey, pimps were born pimps ya know! 😉
Oh MAN those look amazing. I think it would be hilarious to put those out undecorated at a potluck dinner and watch as people expecting wontons suddenly figured out that they are a dessert… Ok maybe that’s just funny to me.
See!! You can bake! And they look so yummy!!
This just looks AMAZING!!! Definitely need to try the faux-frying soon!
Oh. my. word. These are just… beyond words. A crunchy wrapper with crispy/gooey insides? I love having different textures to enjoy.
And thanks for the tip with the cooling rack! I’m definitely going to be trying that out the next time I make some sweet potato fries 😀
these look delicious. I just pinned them on pinterest:)
I’ll have a dozen. Pleaseandthankyou.
Happy Friday!!!
WAAAAY TOOOO COOOOLLL! your photos are lovely!
xoxo
You need to bake more often–these look incredible!!
Oh yum! I want one!
Jenn these look so good! When I saw your comment about how this blog is “all about veggies” I laughed to myself about how I actually do love a blog about vegetables. I never would have thought I’d be saying that, I don’t even like them! Guess it just shows how awesome you are 🙂
Oh em gee. I’m loving that so many people suggested sweets, cause this looks amazing. And your presentation looks so fancy 🙂
Oh my gosh, this looks like heaven!! I can’t wait to make these, JENN!!!!!!! WOOHOO for dessert!!!!
One word: Sold! These look fantastic!
These=perfection!!! I think I requested s’mores wontons but these will do 🙂

holy CRAP!!! these look absolutely delicious!! they look like mini crepes!! only they’re wontons..damnnnn i need to go get some wonton packet thingies this weekend to make these. seriously I NEED to make them.
I just hope i dont eat all the cookie dough while baking

Hmmmm……I’m guessing I am gonna have to test bake these too! 🙂 LOL they look GREAT!!!!
Wow those look delish!!!!
BOOKMARKING!!! You are awesome!!! The textures sound amazing and I love this, “Nooooooot on this blog, buddy!” You are so true to yourself and your blog even in dessert. You are the cat’s meow my friend.
uhhh, those look SO good. where’s my inside gooey cookie dough shot? 😉 I have been wanting to experiment with wonton wrappers. yaaaaay!
Yum that looks so delicious! my favorite dessert would have to be pumpkin pie or some fro-yo 🙂

ahh so glad you saw the light and like cookie dough now..it is truly amazing!

oh, shiznit, i love this! fave dessert-a good cheesecake or creme brulee.
My fave desserts are oreo truffles & any type of cheesecake….and maybe these 🙂 They are definitely my kind of sweet!
Oh yum!! These sound so good! Me and my sister in law were just discussing all the things they make with wonton wrappers! We thought that some cream cheese with some kind of fruit or jalapeno jelly would be fabulous for a dessert!! But this sounds even better!!!
Could these look any more delicious? They are totally giving me a sugar craving! Delish!
Oh my goodness these sound AMAZING!!!I can’t wait to try!
Picking a fav dessert is like picking a fav child (good thing I don’t have kids), I just can’t do it! Key lime pie is a top contender though. Your pics look lovely, BTW. Happy Friday!
If I had any kitchen talent whatsoever, these babies would be made in no time.
I’m literally salivating at the pictures.
Maybe Mr. A will be doing some baking this weekend …

You’re my hero for this recipe. I pretty much love anything baked in a wonton wrapper!
Wow, that is so gorgeous. You’re impressive!
oh i’m so impressed! what a pretty dessert!!!
Holy crap those look good.
This looks incredibly difficult. How about you just whip up a whole bunch more and host a giveaway? I’d love you long time if I were to win! ; )
Oh my goodness girl these look unbelievable. I’m drooling on my keyboard right now, thanks!;)
Oh my gosh YUUUMMMM!!
Can I just tell my husband that I made this recipe up myself?! Because I’m afraid if he finds out it was you… he’ll kiss me goodbye and move into your guest bedroom hahaha!
Ah I can’t wait to make these!
I love this! Such a unique combination of flavors and countries and cooking styles…so delicious!
My favorite dessert used to be molten lava cake but honestly, since I’ve cut out sugar for so long it just seems too sweet for me! So now I just go for TJ’s dark chocolate. It seems to do the trick!
Have a great weekend Jenn…love your gorgeous photos as always!
Hi love!!!
How are you? Hope all is well! These look YUM!!!
My favorite dessert is either ice cream or strawberry pretzel salad!!
xoxo <3
These look amazing!! What a great party dessert. You MUST be feeling better 🙂
Oh Jen these look awesome. What a great time for me to read this post because I just bought some wonton wrappers the other day and we have been trying to find a good recipe for them. Well we can just stop right here because we have found it!!
FABULOUS! I love that its baked and not fried! Wontons are so yummy and fun to use- no frying necessary!!
These sound Amazing!! I must make these! :o)
These look absolutely fabulous. Unfortunately I’m not sure if my baking expertise is up for it. Maybe I’ll casually show this to my husband and see what happens. 🙂
How did you know I would just eat most of the cookie dough and end up with very few wontons? Cookie dough is my major weakness 🙂
I still need to buy a wire grilling rack–it is a travesty that I do not have one yet!
what?! What is this? (a school for ants?! ….uh..sorry about that)
Looks AHHHMAZING! How do you come up with these things?
I am popping over from Rhoda’s recipe party. Hope you enjoy my orange muffins (link #99.)
This recipe looks so fun and delicious.
Fondly,
Glenda
HOLY COW.
