These no-bake cookie dough bites are the perfect answer to your sweet cravings—safe to eat, irresistibly soft, and packed with chocolate chips in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup heat-treated all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (or plant-based alternative)

  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 tbsp milk (dairy or plant-based)

  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

  • ¼ tsp salt


Instructions

  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.

  • Add vanilla extract and milk; stir to combine.

  • Gradually add the heat-treated flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms.

  • Fold in mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

  • Using a small scoop or your hands, roll the dough into bite-sized balls.

  • Chill the bites in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm up before serving.

 

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer shelf life.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan butter and use plant-based milk.

  • Add-ins like rainbow sprinkles, crushed pretzels, or chopped nuts can add texture and flair.

  • Optional: Lightly bake at 325°F for 5–7 minutes for a firmer, cookie-like texture.
