Ingredients

Instructions

Heat Treat Flour

In a microwave safe bowl, put your flour. Microwave it for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Let it cool. Alternatively you can also do this on your stove top or oven.

Prepare the Cookie Batter

In another bowl, cream together butter, caster sugar, and brown sugar until it's creamy, pale, and smooth using a hand mixer for about 5-6 mins
Add vanilla extract and mix again
Toss in the flour and salt, beat until it forms a nice dough. Mix in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
Scoop out 2 teaspoons of dough or use a mini ice cream scoop.
Roll it into a smooth ball with an even surface
Pop them in a bowl arranged in a single layer and chill in the fridge for 5 minute. The cookie dough balls is now ready to be enjoyed but lets make it a little fancy.
Melt some chocolate in a bowl; could be dark, milk or white chocolate. You can use the microwave or stove-top, but my favorite is the instant pot melted chocolate hack.
Take each dough ball, dip it in the melted chocolate, lift it with a fork, and tap off any extra chocolate. Place it on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
Stick the chocolate covered cookie dough balls in the fridge for 5 minutes.
Enjoy them as they are or get creative! I topped mine with a drizzle of melted chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt.

Notes

Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature, especially the butter. It makes the mixing process smoother.
Follow the suggested flour heating methods (microwave, oven, or stovetop) to make it safe for consumption. Cool the flour completely before proceeding to make the chocolate chip cookie dough bites.
Mixing the butter and sugar thoroughly is crucial; they're the glue holding our dough together without any added liquids. If the dough feels dry, just add a little milk gradually until it comes together perfectly.
Use high-quality vanilla extract for a more intense and flavorful cookie dough. Talking about flavors, this no bake cookie dough bites can be amped by adding additional flavors like peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter.
This recipe can be made vegan by swapping butter for vegan butter
Chilling the dough in the refrigerator for at least 5 minutes helps it firm up, making it easier to handle and coat with chocolate.
Use a consistent measure, like a mini ice cream scoop or tsp to ensure uniform-sized dough balls.
Feel free to customize your cookie dough truffles with different toppings like crushed nuts, sprinkles, or coconut flakes.
Store these cookie dough balls in an air tight container in the refrigerator for 2 weeks
