This is a sponsored post with Nestlé Toll House and we had a ton of fun making  Easy Toll House cookie dough recipes!

Due to Kay’s FPIES food allergy we missed ou on the cookie tradition the past two years.  This year we’re going all out.  Rolled and Ready!  Today we tried  Nestlé Toll House Rolled and Ready Cookie Dough Sheets in Chocolate.   It was our first time Holiday Baking with Nestlé Toll House Rolled and Ready Cookie Dough.  She had an absolute blast and the prep and clean up were so minimal.  Since it took little effort we even made our own homemade frosting using organic cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream and vanilla extract.

While she loves to be involved in the kitchen she gets bored easily and wants the cookies in the oven quicker than we can roll it out.  That’s why using Nestlé Toll House Rolled and Ready Cookie Dough Sheets is our new favorite way to make cookies that are store bought!  We love to make homemade most of the time, but this was just so much fun and took literally 5 minutes to get the cookies into the oven!  Plus we didn’t have dirty bowls, flour all over and we had cookies in less than 15 minutes total!  Every kid has grown up making Toll House holiday cookie recipes so it was nice to finally do it with my daughter.  I remember my mom letting me eat the Nestle Toll House Cookie Dough, but I would never let myself or my daughter eat raw cookie dough.  I personally think they taste better cooked and much safer to eat of course!
