They have a soft, gooey cookie dough center and are dipped in melted chocolate. Serve them any time, any where, and they’re sure to be a hit!

- Delicious straight out of the freezer.
Cookie Dough Bites Ingredients
Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details!
- Plain white flour: Heat-treat the flour for safe consumption. Bake it until it reaches a temperature of 71°C (160°F) and let it come to room temperature.
- Melted cooled butter: Salted or unsalted, depending on what you have.
- Sugars: You’ll need a combination of dark brown sugar and cane sugar.
- Milk: I use whole milk, but any milk will do.
- Vanilla paste: Or vanilla extract. Adds a sweet, aromatic flavor.
- Chocolate chips: Or chopped dark chocolate.
- Sea salt: Balances the sweetness. Sprinkle it on top of the bites, too.
- Dark chocolate: To coat the cookie dough balls. Opt for a good-quality chocolate. I like to use 70% cocoa solids (not pictured).
How to Make Cookie Dough Bites
- Heat-treat the flour: Bake it at 180°C (356°F) fan for 8-10 minutes.
- Make the cookie dough: Stir the cooled butter with the sugars for 1 minute. Add the milk, sea salt, vanilla, and flour. Mix until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Coat in dark chocolate: Melt the chocolate and pour it into a small bowl. Dip the balls into the chocolate, tap off the excess, and allow to set.
Tips for Success
- Stick the cookie dough balls in the freezer while you melt the chocolate. This will make the chocolate set faster.
- Make sure to bake the flour until it reaches an internal temperature of 71°C (165°F) to kill off any bacteria.
- Use a skewer or fork to dip the bites into chocolate, and make sure to tap off any excess.
- Work quickly when dipping the balls in the melted chocolate. If the chocolate hardens simply melt it again to make it easier to work with.
Serving Suggestion
Top the cookie dough bites onto icecream, chocolate bark, or dessert trays.
Possible Variations
- Chocolate: Use milk chocolate or white chocolate chips as you prefer, or blend them.
- Flour: Swap for glutenfree flour or almond meal.
- Milk: Try heavy cream.
- Add-ins: Add chopped nuts, peanut butter, butterscotch chips, mini marshmallows, chopped candy bars, sprinkles, or crushed biscuits.
How to Store Leftovers
Keep leftover bites in an airtight container and store them in the fridge. They will last 3-4 days.
FAQs
Yes! They are delicious straight from the freezer.
Add a tiny bit of milk at a time, until the texture is just right.
Place the dough in the refrigerator for half an hour to firm up, and see if that helps. If not, add a 1-2 teaspoons more flour (heat-treated).
Sure, swap butter for vegan butter, milk for almond milk, oat milk, or use your preferred vegan milk and vegan chocolate chips.
No, the cookie dough isn’t suitable for baking.
Absolutely! This recipe has no raw eggs or raw flour (because we heat-treat it), so it is safe to eat.
There are three main methods:
Microwave: Break the chocolate into smaller pieces, place it in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave it for 30 seconds intervals until melted. Mix between each interval.
Double-boiler: Fill a small pot with 2-3 cm water (1 inch), and bring it to a boil. Break up the chocolate, place it in a heat-safe bowl directly in the pot. Stir with a small spoon until melted.
Pot: Melt the chocolate directly in a pot on low heat, stirring continuously until it has the right consistency.
