Ingredients
-
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated to ensure safety)
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
2 tbsp milk (dairy or non-dairy)
-
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (or regular chocolate chips)
Instructions
-
Heat the flour (optional but recommended for safety):
To ensure the flour is safe to eat raw, spread it on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let it cool completely before using it in the recipe. -
Cream the butter and sugars:
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). -
Add vanilla and milk:
Stir in the vanilla extract and milk, mixing until fully incorporated. -
Mix in the flour:
Gradually add the cooled, heat-treated flour to the butter mixture, stirring until combined. The dough should be thick, but pliable. -
Add chocolate chips:
Fold in the mini chocolate chips (or regular chocolate chips) until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. -
Form the bites:
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the dough into small bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). -
Chill (optional):
Place the cookie dough bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up, making them easier to handle. -
Serve and enjoy:
Once chilled, serve and enjoy your delicious Cookie Dough Bites. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
