Description

Delicious no bake cookie dough bites that combine the classic taste of cookie dough with a rich chocolate coating. These bite-sized treats are perfect for a quick snack or dessert, featuring safe-to-eat flour and a creamy, sweet, chocolate-studded dough, all coated in melted dipping chocolate and chilled to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all purpose flour
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temp)
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp whole milk (optional, if needed)

Coating

  • 8 oz dipping chocolate (almond bark, dark chocolate bar, or white chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Toast the Flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 7 minutes. This step is crucial to eliminate any potential bacteria in the raw flour. Once toasted, allow the flour to cool completely before using.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the room temperature butter, kosher salt, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for about 3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Add Vanilla: Stir in the pure vanilla extract until fully incorporated, giving your dough that classic cookie flavor.
  4. Combine Flour: Gradually add the cooled toasted flour into the butter mixture on low speed, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  5. Adjust Dough Consistency: If the dough feels too stiff, add whole milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough is soft but still firm enough to form 1-ounce balls. Keep in mind the dough will firm up more once chilled.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough, evenly distributing the chocolate throughout.
  7. Form Cookie Dough Balls: Using a 1-ounce cookie scoop, portion the dough and roll each scoop into a ball with your hands. Place the dough balls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.
  8. Melt the Coating Chocolate: Melt the dipping chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each to ensure smooth melting without burning.
  9. Dip and Chill: Dip each chilled cookie dough ball into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Place the coated bites back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle with flaky sea salt or decorative sprinkles for added texture and flavor. Chill for another 10 minutes so the chocolate coating sets before serving.

Notes

  • Toasting the flour is essential to make it safe for raw consumption.
  • The milk is optional and only added to achieve the right dough texture.
  • Store the cookie dough bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • For a dairy-free variation, substitute butter with a vegan alternative and use dairy-free chocolate.
  • Make sure not to overmix the dough to keep it tender and light.
