What is it about bite size desserts that make them so much fun to eat? For one thing, they’re fun to serve at parties and these no bake cheesecake bites have been my go-to dessert recipe for years. But I may just have a new favorite!

I’ve loved cookie dough since I used to bake cookies with my grandma. But these days it’s for more than just cookies. There’s cookie dough ice cream, cookie dough cheesecake and now these edible Cookie Dough Bites! 

Just be warned. The mouthwatering taste of cookie dough completely covered in chocolate is so irresistible, it’ll be impossible to eat just one (go ahead and grab another one…I won’t tell)!

Why We Love These No Bake Cookie Dough Bites

  • Great gifts: Put these in a cute mason jar or other type of container and they make an awesome teacher gift. You can even add a little card along the lines of “you’re the sweetest teacher ever”.
  • Perfect for cookie swaps: I love these for cookie exchanges, and they were a big hit when I added them to my cookie tins last Christmas.
  • Sweet and tasty party food: These no bake desserts are super popular at parties…you just have to grab one fast before they disappear!
  • Perfect size: They’re the perfect sized sweet treat when you just want a small bite to satisfy your sweet tooth!
  • Versatile: You can give them a slightly different flavor by dipping them in dark chocolate instead. You can also switch out the chocolate chip for white chocolate chips or even peanut butter chips and add rainbow sprinkles for a little color.

What’s Needed for This Edible Cookie Dough Recipe

Ingredients for chocolate chip cookie dough balls

Step 1: Place flour in a large bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stopping every 15 seconds to stir, then stir in salt. Don’t skip this step because microwaving the flour kills any bacteria that may be in it. It’s rare but still better to be safe than sorry, right?

Step 2: Combine butter, white sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in a separate mixing bowl. Use a stand mixer or electric mixer to blend until light and fluffy.

Step 3: Set aside a teaspoon of heavy cream and add the rest to the sugar mixture. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Add flour and mix until the dry ingredients are well blended.

Step 5: Fold chocolate chips into the dough and mix well. You can use regular size or mini chocolate chips for these. Refrigerate for two hours.

Step 6: Roll dough into 2 inch balls (you can use a small cookie scoop or do it by hand). Place balls on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

Step 7: Place almond bark in a medium bowl and melt in 15 second intervals, stirring in between. When chocolate begins to melt, stir in 1 teaspoon of heavy cream. Continue to microwave in intervals until chocolate is completely melted.

Step 8: Dip cookie dough balls in the melted chocolate, covering completely. Place back on the baking sheet.

Step 9: Once the remaining cookie dough balls are coated, place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator and let chill for an hour.

How Do you Store These Little Cookie Dough Bites?

Once they have dried and are at room temperature, you ‘ll want to move them to the fridge. in an airtight container. They should stay good for up to a week.

Can You Freeze Cookie Dough Bites?

Yes! You can store them in an airtight container and freeze for later. I like to wrap them individually so that I can grab one or two when I’m in the mood for a sweet treat or when those cookie dough cravings hit.

Why Do you Microwave the Flour?

Microwaving the flour kills off any bacteria that may be found. It’s rare but there have been cases where people have become sick from raw flour. It only takes a couple extra minutes and I feel like it’s best to be on the safe side!

Is it Safe to Eat Raw Dough?

Who doesn’t love the taste of raw cookie dough? But normal cookie dough contains raw eggs and uncooked flour, which can contain harmful germs. That is the GREAT thing about this recipe for chocolate chip cookie dough bites. it contains no egg, and the flour is cooked, making these a perfectly safe and yummy no bake treat.

Add-ins for these Cookie Dough Balls

Nuts: Slightly roasted almonds, pecan and or walnuts are always a hit.

Chocolate Chips: Add some mini chocolate chips. Dark chocolate, peanut butter chips, white chocolate, you choose!

Toffee Pieces: Crushed up toffee bars are excellent in these edible cookie dough truffles

Nut Butter: Gives these little dough balls a nutty flavor! Add a little bit (about 1 tablespoon) of peanut, almond or cashew butter to the dough.

Flakey Salt: Love a sweet and salty combo? Add a pinch of white flakey salt to the top of each dough ball!

Notes

Microwaving the flour may be an extra step but you don’t want to skip it. On rare occasions, raw flour has been known to contain bacteria such as e. coli and this is the best way to get rid of it.
Don’t have almond bark? Melt chocolate chips instead.
