These cookie dough bites are easy, quick and delicious. They are no-bake so require minimal effort but the flavour and texture is wonderful. My favourite ice cream flavour always used to be cookie dough so raw cookie dough has a firm place in my heart. That is one reason why I love these cookie dough bites - they remind me of a tub of cookie dough ice cream! But this time... vegan!
I did a variety of decorations but the cookie dough is the same. I decorated some with more chocolate chips, some with a drizzle of chocolate and some completely coated in chocolate with a little bit of flakey sea salt. The latter was my favourite which is no surprise really... as anything coated fully in chocolate is bound to win my vote! The sea salt also adds the glorious sweet/ salty combination which I love. If none of these toppings get you excited, you could be creative and do whatever you want.
Ingredients
I filled my cookie dough bites with two types of chocolate: milk and dark. But you can switch this up and make it whatever you want. For example, you could do white chocolate and raspberries, oreos, nuts or anything sweet that you fancy! The next time make these, I think I will go for a white chocolate and macadamia nut vibe.
The cookie dough is simple. It is made with flour, sugar, butter, chocolate, vanilla extract, milk and salt. None of the ingredients used are groundbreaking/ different so you may already have these ingredients in your pantry meaning that you may be able to give them a go right now.
Instructions
This is a really simple recipes. You just need to combine the flour, butter, sugar, vanilla, salt and then chocolate chips! It is worth noting that you will need to sterilise your flour as you are eating it raw. I direct you on how to do this in the instructions!

- Flour - instead of plain white flour, you could use gluten free flour to make this gluten free. I recommend a 50/50 gluten-free flour.
STORAGE
Store the cookie dough bites in an airtight container in the fridge. Good for 4-5 days.

Cookie Dough Bites
Ingredients
- 160 g Plain white flour all-purpose
- 110 g Unsalted butter
- 100 g Soft light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 90 g Chocolate chips I used milk and dark
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 100 g Chocolate
Instructions
- If your flour is already sterile then you can miss this step! If you want to ensure that your flour is safe to eat 'raw', you will want to heat it up briefly before using. You could do this way ahead of time if you wanted! Heat your oven to 180°C/ 356°F. Spread the flour out onto a lined baking tray and bake for 5 minutes. Then remove and leave to cool. Then it will be ready to use!
- In a standing mixer, beat your butter and sugar together on a medium speed for a few minutes, until the butter and sugars are creamed together. Then add the vanilla extract and combine again. Then add your flour and mix again on a low speed, until the flour is combined (around 1 minute). Don't over mix at this stage so only mix until the flour is combined. If needed, you could add 1 tablespoon milk to loosen the dough.
- Add the chocolate chips and combine with a spoon until the chocolate chips run through all the cookie dough!
- Using a tablespoon, make a rough cookie dough ball and place it onto a plate (don't worry if these aren't perfect ball shapes, we will shape them properly later). Repeat this process until all the cookie dough is finished. Place the plate into the fridge and allow them to chill for a couple of hours. If you want to speed this process up, place them into the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Once the rough cookie dough balls are completely cold, use your hand to make them a perfect circular shape. This should be easy to do if the cookie dough is cold enough.
- Finish the bites with whatever decoration you want. Melt the 100g of chocolate and dunk the cookie dough into the chocolate and coat them completely. You could also do drizzles of chocolate or just stick to more chocolate chips- completely up to you! My favourite were the ones fully coated in chocolate with a little bit of flakey sea salt.
