Sweet & Healthy -- Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies (80kcal) !

I'm back!

First of all, I'm very sorry for not being able to update Raspberry Cheesecake Dreams for a while. I've been working crazy 10-hour-shifts at work due to a store opening. My apologies, I know it's been a while but now I'm back with a new recipe to make it up to you guys!
You requested a low-calorie cookie recipe. I've tried this and I have to say; it's not quite as good as normal cookies - but way more healthier! Taking care of your health is very important, you know, 'cause you are what you eat. Maybe that's why all my followers are so sweet. ☺

Bizarre Desserts -- Cookie Pizza and Flourless Chocolate Cake ?

Hi, it's me again!

I tweeted some time ago about these two dessert recipes that seemed weird to me. I have to say I haven't tried these yet, so be aware, I do not specifically recommend these! But if you are just as curious as I am, you might want to try these out, right?

 

The first one is...

  COOKIE PIZZA    (?!)

I love cookies and I love pizza - but these two combined?! I actually thought this recipe looked decent until I saw the mini-marshmallows and caramel sauce. Too much sweet stuff, don't you think? Cookie dough, chocolate chips and peanuts alone would make a great giant-cookie without making the dessert seem gross.

And what about that nice lady recommending this as a dessert for a pizza meal? Oh, I disagree. That's way too much pizza-related food for one day. It's like an overdose on pizza-related foods. I'd prefer something easier to digest after a heavy pizza meal, for example ice cream. ☺


If you think this sounds delicious, you need these for a cookie-pizza that makes 16 servings;
 ►  Ready-made chocolate chip cookie dough
 ►  Peanuts of your choice
 ►  Chocolate chips
( ►  Mini-marshmallows)
( ►  Caramel sauce)


How-to;
1) Heat oven to 350°F (that's 175°C)
2) Grease a pizza pan with shortening or cooking spray. In pan, break up cookie dough. With floured fingers, press dough evenly in bottom of pan to form crust.
3) Bake 12 to 17 minutes or until light golden brown
4) Sprinkle marshmallows, peanuts and chocolate chips evenly over crust. Drizzle with caramel topping.
5) Bake 8 to 10 minutes longer or until topping is melted. Cool completely, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cut into wedges.





Then there's the other one...

  FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE   (?!)

This recipe might actually be ideal if you have a friend with glutein-free diet and you don't have any glutein-free flour avaible... But I'm a bit suspicious since the cake isn't supposed to rise at all - so it's going to be super duper thick? The cake only contains eggs, sugar, butter and chocolate so I suppose it might taste like... a greasy chocolate omelette? Doesn't sound too mouth-watering, right?☺ I have to try this, for sure!

The ingredients and directions for this dessert can be found from that video above! I'm actually in a bit of a hurry right now so I don't have the time to write those down... My apologies!
