Why Does This Recipe Works?

- Quick and easy recipe to follow, need I say more about this? You just pretty much have to combine the ingredients in a bowl and wait for it to harden a bit in the fridge. How simple is that?
- This recipe is a budget-friendly recipe that only requires you five ingredients to finish the whole thing! No need to buy a bunch of ingredients just to satisfy the cravings.

What's in This No Bake Edible Cookie Dough Bites Recipe?
All-purpose Flour. What is cookie dough without flour? Use all-purpose flour for a better texture not to mention it also lets the flavors of the other ingredients shine. The use of this type of flour also allows a chewier texture for your No Bake Cookie Dough Bites.
Butter. The addition of butter into your cookie dough mixture prevents gluten from developing, making it more tender. Butter also gives a little moisture and flavor to your cookie dough.
Brown Sugar. Brown sugar has a softer texture because of the presence of molasses. You should expect your cookie dough to be moister and chewier when you use brown sugar in this recipe.
Vanilla Extract. Flavoring and texture enhancer: those are the purpose of vanilla extract in this recipe. Vanilla flavor enhances all the other flavors in the recipe. Without it, No Bake Cookie Dough Bites tend to taste flat and bland.
Chocolate Chips. Chocolate chips are the best accompaniment in this recipe! Never try to skip this ingredient. Chocolate chips give a sweet, crunchy, crumbly, buttery bite that lingers as you chew your Cookie Dough Bites, and now and then, sweet, decadent pop of intense goo melts in your mouth.
How To Make No Bake Edible Cookie Dough Bites?
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- In a large baking sheet, spread the flour out evenly, and bake for 3-5 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together butter and sugar and vanilla extract.
- Stir in the flour until combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Now, spoon one tablespoon of the mixture, then roll between the palms of your hands until smooth and form a ball; repeat.
- Place the bites on a plate and put them in the refrigerator for 1-2 houses to allow them to harden.
Top Tips!
- Make sure that the measurements for your all-purpose flour are correct before mixing it with the rest of the ingredients. Just like in baking cookies, too much or too little flour in this recipe will result in a bad result.
- Just add enough butter into this recipe, or else your cookie dough will be too tender for your liking.
- When you're adding the butter to the batter, make sure it's not completely melted. The addition of melted butter will make the mixture extremely sticky, making it difficult to roll into balls.
Recipe Variations
- Combine your milk chocolate chips with white chocolate chips to give your dish a little extra taste.
- If no one in your family is allergic to nuts, you can use nuts such as walnuts, pecans, or macadamia nuts in your dough.
- If the dough is too sticky to roll into balls, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of flour.
- You can use wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
Serving Suggestions
The typical cookies are served with milk, so why not serve these Cookie Dough Bites with milk as well? Or if you would like a little twist with your milk, pair these Cookie Dough Bites with Korean Strawberry Milk. Another good combo would be to use any flavor of ice cream as a pair for this recipe.
Recipe FAQs
Store these cookie dough bites in the refrigerator for up to 1 week in a tightly sealed container. Cookie dough can be frozen for up to 3 months if it is stored properly in a tightly sealed container or freezer bag. The majority of people prefer to eat them fresh from the freezer!
Because there are no eggs or milk in cookie dough, it has a fairly long shelf life. The only ingredient that can go bad is the butter, but if you put them in the refrigerator, everything will be fine.
