    • Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites

    Why You Will Love This Cookie Bites Recipe

    • Edible Cookie Dough. It's got all the flavor of chocolate chip cookie dough in mini-sized little bites.
    • Perfect for Parties. When considering what to serve for parties I like to choose desserts with different flavors, textures, and colors! These make a perfect single-bite treat everyone always loves.
    • No Bake Dessert. If you're looking for a simple dessert you can make without turning on the oven, you're going to love these no-bake cookie dough bites.

    Ingredients

    • Mini chocolate chips: We're using semi-sweet chocolate chips for a balanced flavor but you can also use milk chocolate or dark chocolate depending on your preferences. Mini chips work best since these are fairly small treats. If all you have is regular-sized chips, I'd suggest chopping them into small pieces.
    • Brown sugar: Sweetens the cookie dough while also adding a deeper flavor thanks to the molasses added to the sugar.
    • Sweetened condensed milk: For more sweetness and richness.
    • Vanilla: Balances also the flavors and gives them a bit of warmth.
    • Butter: To create that creamy buttery texture while also adding a bit of saltiness and rich flavors.
    • Flour: Gives your edible cookie dough bites its structure and consistency.
    • Chocolate melts: You will need these only if you plan to add the candy coating. I use chocolate specifically made for dipping and coating candy which dries to a beautiful light crisp shell. You can find dipping chocolate in your baking aisle or candy-making aisle at most well-stocked grocery stores.

    Variations

    • Add Nuts: Chopped peanuts, almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, or pecans are just a few recommendations.
    • Experiment with Different Flavored Chips: Butterscotch and peanut butter chips make a great combination with the chocolate. Just be sure if they're not mini-sized that you chop them up a bit.
    • Add Coconut: Add some shredded unsweetened coconut to the bites.
    • Gluten-Free: Not all gluten-free flour is equal and some might be a bit gritty in this recipe. The best I've ever used is Cup-4-Cup and when tasted side by side with the regular flour, my kids didn't even know the difference.

    Heat Treat Your Flour

    Raw Flour can have bacteria in it. It is safest to heat treat your flour to kill any bacteria before using it this edible cookie dough recipe. It's super fast and easy to do. Here are two ways to kill the bacteria out of your flour.

    You have two options:

    1. Bake it!  At your flour to a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes to kill any bacteria. You want it to reach a temperature of 160 degrees F.
    2. Microwave it! Place on a plate or in a bowl and heat on high for 1-2 minutes or until it reaches 160 F.

    How to Make Cookie Dough Bites

    1. Cream your brown sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer or in a stand mixer. Add the vanilla to the mixture.
    2. Add the flour to the bowl gradually and then the milk to the bowl and stir until well combined and creamy!
    3. Last, mix in the chocolate chips.
    4. Roll the cookie dough mixture into 1-inch balls and lay them out on parchment paper in the freezer for 30 minutes.

    PRO TIP: Use a melon baller to make uniform balls and roll the bites until they're smooth.

    1. Once the cookie dough has firmed up roll into smooth balls.
    2. Add chocolate bark into a bowl. My favorite brand is Ghirardelli milk chocolate.
    3. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl on high for about 30 seconds. Give it a stir and cook again for another 30 seconds or less (maybe slightly more) until the chocolate is melted and smooth. You can also use a double boiler if you prefer.
    4. Drizzle or dip cookie dough balls into the melted chocolate. Place each cookie dough bite on parchment paper and chill them until fully set.

    PRO TIP: Avoid over-cooking. You will know it is overcooked because the chocolate will start to stiffen. If it does you can add a teaspoon or two of shortening and mix it in the warm chocolate to thin it out again.

    How to Decorate Cookie Bites

    There are several FUN ways you can coat your cookie dough truffles or bites.

    • 100% Dipped: Dip them so they are completely covered with melted chocolate. If you dip the entire bite in the chocolate use two forks, roll around, and shake off extra chocolate.
    • Partially Dipped: Dip the cookie bite to coat only half of it. If you dip HALF your cookie dough bite into the chocolate use your fingers and gently shake off extra chocolate. Because your bites are cold the chocolate will harden quickly.
    • Drizzled: Use a spoon or whisk to drizzle the coating over the top going in one direction. Line the bites on parchment paper. Use a spoon and lightly drizzle going in one direction, chocolate over the balls of cookie bites
    • Mix It Up. A combination of all three!! This is especially nice when serving for a party as it makes the tray look more interesting.

    How to Store Cookie Bites

    I FREEZE them! Place in a bag or an airtight container and place in the freezer. These will last month there! You can also store them in your fridge for about 2 weeks.

    How to Serve

    These are an awesome treat for holidays, parties, or simply just because. Here are some other suggestions:

    • Need a kid-friendly recipe? These are super easy and safe to make with kids!
    • Parties! These go a long way in serving many people. One batch makes about two dozen bites or more. It could easily be doubled and make about 50 bites. You can get even more from each batch if you make them smaller. HUGE crowd pleaser!!!
    • Holidays!! Valentine's Day is the perfect holiday for them. You can them in a chocolate box or even better hand make a chocolate box and have the kids help!! You can mix them up with sea salt caramels, fudge truffles, and homemade English toffee.

    Expert Tips

    • Make Them Small. One-inch balls are a great size because they're easy to eat in one bite or two small bites.
    • Use a Scoop or Melon Ball for Shaping. To keep the size consistent either of these simple kitchen tools is perfect for measuring out the bites.
    • Keep Them Cold. These are best stored in the fridge or freezer until you're ready to serve.

    Recipe FAQs

    Is it safe to eat these bites of raw cookie dough?

    Yes, these are safe to eat! They are made without any eggs which keeps perfectly edible.

    What's the best size to make cookie bites?

    I like to make small bites so they are either a 1 or two bite balls as this seems to be an easy size for people to eat easily. However you can certainly make them smaller or larger as you prefer.
