Ingredients
Scale
For the 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 (must be heat-treated)
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ½ cup Mini Chocolate Chips
For the Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup Semisweet or Milk Chocolate
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil or Vegetable Oil (optional)
Instructions
- 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 to kill any harmful bacteria. Allow the flour to cool completely before using it in the dough.
- Make the cookie dough: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and light brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine. Gradually add the cooled heat-treated flour and salt, stirring until the mixture forms a smooth dough. Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Form cookie dough bites: Using your hands or a spoon, roll the cookie dough into small bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray or plate. Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Prepare the chocolate coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet or milk chocolate, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth. If desired, stir in the optional coconut or vegetable oil to thin the chocolate for easier coating.
- Coat the cookie dough bites: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled cookie dough bite fully into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back on the parchment paper.
- Set and chill: Once all bites are coated, refrigerate them for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate is firm and set. Store the cookie dough bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- Heat-treating the flour is essential to make it safe for eating raw.
- Use dairy-free butter and milk to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
- Adding coconut or vegetable oil to the chocolate helps achieve a smooth, shiny coating.
