Cookie Dough Stuffed Pancakes

Holy moly people. If you’ve ever wanted an excuse to eat dessert for breakfast, this is it. Yes, they’re pancakes but unlike regular ones, these are legit mini cakes made in a pan. They will honestly make you reconsider those flimsy little ones entirely. Anyway in order to make these panCAKES they require a special little tool. One that you probably already have in your house: a circular metal cookie cutter. I used the largest one from this set & it worked perfectly. The size of one finished pancake using that cookie cutter is about 1 serving. Trust me, 1 of these bad boys will fill you up. They’re perfect for parties or to save to enjoy throughout the week!

For the filling, I ended up using store bought cookie dough since I had it in the house. This one that I use is totally safe to eat as it’s egg-free (plus it’s ridiculously tasty). However when I want to make it myself, I’m obsessed with this cookie dough recipe. To be honest, it’s so easy to make that if I don’t have prepackaged cookie dough in the house (it was one of those 6pm grocery shops where I was starving, don’t judge…) I always use this one. I ended up topping my stack with some more cookie dough because why the heck not but you could they’re definitely satisfactory as is. A lil’ cookie dough ice cream wouldn’t be so bad on top either… With some chocolate sauce. And chocolate chips. Oh lord am I glad I didn’t think of those until after I made & ate them!
