    The Best Cookie Dough Bites

    Sneaking a bite of raw cookie dough is one of those guilty pleasures most of us probably got in trouble for as kids. And, although it smells and looks mouthwatering; when you eat raw cookie dough it can lead to stomach aches - and even sickness - from consuming both the raw flour and raw eggs.

    So, these no bake cookie dough bites are the perfect safe-to-consume solution to those cookie dough cravings!

    This edible cookie dough recipe is made by heat treating flour in the microwave, so you get the same soft and scoopable texture that's just like raw cookie dough, but it's safe to eat!

    Now, this recipe isn't just for classic chocolate chip cookie dough. I've also included a list of modifications you can make to your no bake cookie dough bites to recreate practically any kind of cookie dough you want!

    And the best part about this cookie dough bites recipe is how easy it is to get the little ones involved. They can sneak in as many bites as they want, and you never have to worry about upset tummies.

    Plus, as I mentioned before, this recipe only takes about 5 minutes to make with 5 simple ingredients. It's easy, and fast, and the results are delicious bites of perfection that the whole family can enjoy!

    By the way, if you want more easy and tasty no bake recipes, you have to give these no bake chocolate cookies and no bake banana pudding a try next!

    Ingredients

    Again, the ingredient list for these no bake cookie dough bites couldn't be simpler.

    If you've ever made chocolate chip cookies before, you more than likely have all the ingredients for these cookie dough bites already!

    Anyway, here's everything you'll need to make these no bake cookie dough balls:

    • 2 tbsp. Melted Butter
    • 2 tbsp. Light Brown Sugar
    • 1 tbsp. Milk
    • ⅓ cup All-Purpose Flour (heat treated flour)
    • 4 tbsp. Mini Chocolate Chips

    So simple right?

    Just gather up these 5 basic ingredients, and you're more than halfway there!

    And if you have a little extra time on your hands, you can also use a lot of these ingredients to make this edible sugar cookie dough. It's another one of the best edible cookie dough recipes you can make that's safe to eat raw.

    Ingredient Substitutions and Suggestions

    Now, you can easily convert this recipe to vegan no bake cookie dough bites by swapping the butter for vegan butter, the milk for plant-based milk, and making sure your mini chocolate chips are vegan friendly.

    And for a gluten free version - or if you don't want to heat treat your raw flour - just swap the flour for almond flour or oat flour, and you're good to go!

    Also, just so you know, I'm using brown sugar in this recipe because I think the flavor turns out better. But, you can also use an equal amount of granulated sugar if that's what you have on hand.

    Modifying Your No Bake Cookie Dough Balls

    So, if you want to make your favorite cookie into edible dough bites, here are some ideas you can try:

    • Add vanilla extract, white chocolate chips, and sprinkles for birthday cake cookie dough.
    • Use salted butter or garnish your dough bites with flaky sea salt to cut some of the sweetness.
    • Mix in a tablespoon of peanut butter and some peanut butter chips for peanut butter cookie dough.
    • Take half the finished cookie dough and mix it with cocoa powder. Then, roll the two together to make brownie swirl cookie dough bites.
    • Add any of your favorite candy bars crushed into pieces to replace the chocolate chips.

    How To Make No Bake Cookie Dough Bites

    Alrighty, time for the fun part!

    It couldn't be easier to make edible cookie dough with chocolate chips. In fact, the results are so incredibly quick and tasty that it almost feels like cheating!

    Oh, and before we move on, if you want to watch me make this no bake recipe, check out this video.

    Now, let's dive into the recipe steps and make edible chocolate chip cookie dough!

    Step 1: Making The Heat Treated Flour

    First things first, place your all purpose flour in a shallow microwave safe bowl or on a plate.

    Then, microwave it in 30-second increments for 3-4 minutes to cook off the bacteria.

    Between each increment, stir the flour around to make sure the heat gets evenly distributed.

    You'll want the flour to reach a temperature of at least 165°F (74°C). This can take around 1-2 minutes, depending on your microwave, but 3-4 minutes is your safest bet, especially if you don't have a food thermometer.

    By the way, if you're using almond flour or oat flour, you can skip this step completely.

    Step 2: Make The Cookie Dough

    Now, once your flour has been heat treated, let it cool to room temperature.

    Then, combine the heated flour, melted butter, brown sugar, milk, and mini chocolate chips in a bowl.

    Mix them until everything is well incorporated, and you have something that looks like a no bake cookie dough mix.

    Step 3: Shape Your Cookie Dough Balls

    Next, divide the chocolate chip cookie dough into 12 equal pieces, shape them into balls, and put them onto a parchment lined baking pan.

    If you want perfect, evenly sized balls, you can use a tablespoon-sized scoop or measure out the portions on a scale.

    Finally, refrigerate the edible cookie dough bites to chill and firm up. I recommend spacing your cookie dough bites out on a tray or plate to prevent them from sticking together.

    Or, if you really can't wait, you can go ahead and eat them right away for soft and chewy cookie dough. Enjoy!

    How to Store No Bake Cookie Dough Bites

    Now, this recipe makes about a dozen cookie dough bites, and they're usually gone in seconds if you're making them for a big group!

    But, if you happen to have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to about 3 days. You can also freeze them in an airtight container for up to 6 months!

    I personally love to make a double batch of these cookie dough bites and keep extra in the freezer to pull out at a moment's notice.

    Oh, and if you're planning on freezing your cookie dough bites - like I like to do - I recommend freezing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper before putting them in your container. This way they don't all freeze together in one giant blob.

    Wrapping It Up

    That is how to make edible cookie dough! These incredibly easy no bake cookie dough balls are sure to become your next favorite dessert!

    They're a healthier, safer alternative to raw cookie dough, and they're ready in literally minutes whenever you're craving cookie dough.

    Regardless of the occasion, there's always a reason to whip up a plate of these edible cookie dough bites. After all, they're so easy to make and actually require fewer ingredients than normal chocolate chip cookies.
