Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter, softened (use dairy-free for vegan)
  • ½ cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Milk (use non-dairy for vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (heat-treated)
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ cup Mini Chocolate Chips

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup Semisweet or Milk Chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil or Vegetable Oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat-Treat the Flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the all-purpose flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. This step is essential to make the flour safe for no-bake consumption. Allow the flour to cool completely before using it in the dough.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and light brown sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine all wet ingredients.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the heat-treated flour and salt until a dough forms. Fold in the mini chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
  4. Form the Bites: Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out small portions of the cookie dough and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place these on a parchment-lined tray or plate.
  5. Prepare the Chocolate Coating: Melt the semisweet or milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. For a smoother coating, stir in the optional coconut oil or vegetable oil until fully incorporated.
  6. Coat the Cookie Dough Bites: Dip each cookie dough ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully covered. Use a fork or dipping tool to lift and tap off excess chocolate before placing the coated bite back on the parchment paper.
  7. Set and Chill: Once all bites are coated, place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
  8. Serve: Enjoy your indulgent no-bake cookie dough bites chilled as a delightful treat anytime.

Notes

  • Heat-treating the flour is critical to ensure food safety since the dough is not baked.
  • You can substitute dairy products with non-dairy alternatives to make this recipe vegan.
  • Add coconut or vegetable oil to the chocolate to achieve a shinier, smoother coating.
  • Store leftover cookie dough bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Feel free to experiment with different chocolate varieties or add nuts for extra texture.
