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. Brown Sugar
• 1 tbsp. Milk
• ⅓ cup All-Purpose 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 these 20-minute eggless chocolate chip cookies.

By the way, 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 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 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 these no bake cookie dough bites. 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 raw cookie dough.

Step 3: Shape Your Cookie Dough Balls

Next, divide the chocolate chip cookie dough into 12 equal pieces and shape them into balls.

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! 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

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.

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.
