Why you’ll love this recipe:
- Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough – Who can resist delicious bites of edible cookie dough?!
- Mini Chocolate Chips – This no bake dessert has mini chocolate chips in every bite.
- Creamy Texture – I used cream cheese to keep these extra creamy, just like regular cookie dough!
Ingredient Overview
- Butter – I prefer salted butter, but use your preference.
- Flour – You’ll need to heat treat your flour so it’s safe to eat raw. The best way to do this is to bake it on a sheet pan for just 5 minutes and you’re good to go! (Full directions below.)
- Sugars – I use a combination of both granulated sugar and brown sugar to keep these cookie bites super soft and flavorful.
- Vanilla extract – Use real vanilla extract for the best results and flavor.
- Cream Cheese – Cream cheese keeps these bites extra creamy!
Ingredient Substitutions:
- Dairy-Free – Feel free to swap your favorite non-dairy or vegan butter and cream cheese to keep this recipe dairy-free.
- Gluten-Free – This recipe would theoretically work well with a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour, but I haven’t tested it myself. Let me know if you try it!
How to Make this Recipe Step-by-Step:
Step 1: Heat Treat the Flour. This is a super simple step that makes the raw flour safe to eat. Spread your flour on a baking sheet or cookie sheet (no parchment paper needed) and bake at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes. Let cool and then use as normal!
Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough. Start with the wet ingredients. Cream your butter and sugars in a medium mixing bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the vanilla and cream cheese, and mix until nice and creamy.
Step 3: Mix in the dry ingredients. Add the heat-treated flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Add the mini chocolate chips last!
Step 4: Roll the Dough into Balls. Scoop the edible cookie dough into bites or balls using a 1/2 tablespoon or tablespoon measuring spoon. You can make them as large or small as you like! Once they’re rolled, they’re ready to eat.
Expert Success Tips:
- Extra Chocolate – Press a few extra chocolate chips into the outside of the cookie dough balls for extra chocolate and a pretty looking treat.
- Softened Dairy – Be sure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before mixing, so everything creams together smoothly.
- Chocolate Chips – Be sure to use mini and not regular chocolate chips because they’re too big for these small bites.
Recipe Variations:
- Chocolate Alternatives – Feel free to swap in milk chocolate or dark chocolate for the semi-sweet, or try a mix of chocolate and butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, or any other type you enjoy!
- Size – Make the bites a little smaller to make them the size of the cookie dough bites you’d find in cookie dough ice cream. I made mine a little oversize for that, but they’re still perfect for adding to ice cream!
Serving + Storing this Recipe:
Store chocolate chip cookie dough bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for longer. Let thaw in the fridge overnight before using.
Special Tools:
- Mini Ice Cream Scoop – Use a mini ice cream or cookie scoop to quickly scoop the bites instead of using a measuring spoon and rolling them.
I know you’ll love this no bake recipe – once you start making this edible cookie dough recipe, you won’t be able to stop! Serve it up in a bowl of ice cream with melted chocolate or caramel sauce. This is one of the best easy treats to make for movie nights at home!
