Ingredients
For the cookie dough:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (ensure it’s heat-treated to make it safe for consumption)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk (add more for a softer dough)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
For the chocolate coating:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional, for a smoother chocolate finish)
For the toppings:
- Mini chocolate chips
- Colored sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and milk, mixing well until fully combined.
- Gradually add the flour, stirring until the dough is smooth. If the dough is too thick, add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a soft dough-like consistency.
- Stir in the mini chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
Step 2: Shape the Cookie Dough Bites
- Use a tablespoon or small scoop to scoop out the dough and roll it into balls.
- Place the cookie dough balls onto a parchment paper-lined tray or plate. Refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to let them firm up.
Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Coating
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with vegetable oil (if using). Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
- Once the cookie dough bites are chilled, dip each one into the melted chocolate, fully coating the bite.
- Place the coated bites back onto the parchment paper.
Step 4: Add Toppings
- Before the chocolate hardens, top each bite with mini chocolate chips or colorful sprinkles for a festive touch.
- Allow the bites to cool in the fridge for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating has fully set.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Once the chocolate coating has set, your Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites are ready to serve!
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
Pro Tips
- If you want a different twist, swap out the semi-sweet chocolate for milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate for a different flavor.
- To make these bites even more indulgent, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the chocolate coating for a salty-sweet contrast.
- For a fun variety, roll the dough in crushed nuts or graham cracker crumbs before dipping in chocolate.
