(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
butter (softened)
brown sugar
granulated sugar
milk
vanilla extract
salt
chocolate chips

Directions

I start by heat-treating the flour to make it safe to eat, either by baking it briefly or microwaving it until it reaches a safe temperature. Then I let it cool completely.

In a bowl, I mix softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. I add milk and vanilla extract and mix again until well combined.

Next, I stir in the cooled flour and a pinch of salt until a dough forms. Then I fold in the chocolate chips.

I scoop small portions of the dough and roll them into bite-sized balls. I place them on a tray and chill them in the refrigerator for about 20–30 minutes until firm.

Servings and timing

I usually get about 12–16 bites from this recipe.
Preparation takes around 15 minutes, plus 20–30 minutes chilling time. No Bake Cookie Dough Bites

Variations

I sometimes add peanut butter for a richer flavor. When I want a healthier version, I use oat flour and reduce the sugar slightly. I also like mixing in mini candies or white chocolate chips for variety.

storage/reheating

I store the bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. I can also freeze them for longer storage and let them thaw slightly before eating. I don’t reheat these since they’re meant to be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.
