Deep-Fried Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Chef #591476's Note:

If you like cookie dough, and who doesn't, you'll love this recipe. I was looking through Food Network and I stumbled across this recipe. It looked SOOOO good I had to try it. I liked it so much, I wanted to post it on here and share it with everybody! If you don't want raw eggs in your cookie dough you can use egg beaters as an alternative. You can also use other kinds of cookie dough such as peanutbutter chocolate chip, or try miniature candy bars or candy pieces. Recipe courtesy George Duran
