Cohl and I are known to spontaneously throw casual get-togethers.

And when I say get-togethers, I mean 15-20 of our awesome friends coming over to enjoy food on a weeknight.

We definitely have the motto, “The more the merrier!” when it comes to bringing people together.

Most recently we hosted a dinner on the first Sunday night after the time change.  (Does anyone else get CRAZY tired when it gets dark at 5:30?!)

In the past, we have served up everything from chicken and steak fajitas to this Slow Cooker Chicken Curry.  But this time… I was feeling L.A.Z.Y.  I wanted something with minimal prep and pretty much no work involved.

So what did we do?… We made ourselves a baked potato bar for dinner and served up these already prepared (but still SUPER easy to make) snickerdoodle cookie dough bites for dessert.

It was a HUGE success.  Little did I know how psyched our friends would be to eat a baked potato.  (Just goes to show you how grateful, gracious, and just plain out awesome our friends are!)

In the future, I might go through a few ways to host a dinner party with minimal fuss, but for today I’ll skip straight to the dessert… these snickerdoodle cookie dough bites.

These healthy, no-bake cookie bites are super simple to make and are made with good-for-you ingredients.
