A quick and easy no-bake cookie dough bites recipe featuring mini chocolate chips, perfect for a sweet, nostalgic snack without the need for an oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup (120g) heat-treated all-purpose flour or almond flour for gluten-free option
  • 1/2 cup (90g) mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Cream the butter and sugars: In a medium bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with packed brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add vanilla and salt: Mix in the pure vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  3. Fold in flour: Gradually add heat-treated all-purpose flour or almond flour, mixing until just combined, about 2-3 minutes. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Stir in mini chocolate chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to distribute evenly.
  5. Shape the bites: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

Heat-treat flour by toasting in a dry skillet over medium heat until it reaches 160°F (71°C) to ensure safety. Use mini chocolate chips for easier rolling and better texture. Chill bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up. For vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free mini chocolate chips. Variations include adding peanut butter, protein powder, or seasonal spices.
