Admittedly, this Cherry Garcia Raw Cookie Dough isn’t our prettiest recipe. But trust us when we say that what it lacks in appearances, it makes up for in flavor.

There’s just something ridiculously satisfying about spooning soft, sweet dough right from the mixing bowl into our mouths that makes us throw caution to the wind.. (It is our expert opinion that if your cookie dough actually makes it to the table cooked, you’re either a saint or a serial killer).

This Cherry Garcia Raw Cookie Dough recipe requires just four simple ingredients. Seriously… that’s it. And it’s so easy to make, all that stands between you and a delicious dough you can scoop from pan to pie hole is a simple press of the food processor button.
