Obsessed with Zain’s *To Die For* Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip? I know I have been. It’s been cookie dough everything in this house since and of course it would not be long before I decided to marry my cookie dough obsession with my pancake obsession. It just had to be done.
The result? Let’s put it this way:
