    DIRECTIONS:

    Chanukah is all about the fried food – these fried cookie dough balls are insane.

    For the Cookie Dough

    In a small bowl whisk together our and salt. Set aside.

    In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.

    Add in the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. On low speed gradually add the our and salt. Stir in the chocolate chips. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Freeze until rm, at least one hour.

    For the Fry Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the our, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

    Add the milk and vegetable oil, and whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. In a deep fryer or a medium heavy pot, with at least 2 inches of oil, heat oil until it reaches 360°F.

    Take a chilled ball of cookie dough and pierce it with a skewer until stuck to the skewer. Holding the skewer, dip the cookie dough ball into the batter, swirling it in the bowl until it’s completely covered. Let excess batter drip back into the bowl, then lower the cookie dough ball into the oil while holding the skewer. Hold onto the skewer for about minute, until the fry batter has pued a little and the ball feels a big buoyant. With another skewer, loosen the cookie dough ball from the previous skewer allow it to fry for another minutes, until golden brown. Remove them from the oil using a frying skimmer and place them on a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Repeat with the rest of the cookie dough balls and batter.

    Dust the balls with powdered sugar before serving warm.
