How to make cookie dough bites

Now, making these chocolate chip cookie dough bites couldn’t be simpler.

To make this recipe we will combine all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl, except for the chocolate chips. (Save those to the end).

Mix together to form a dough, then sprinkle in your chocolate chips and mix again to combine.

Next, roll the dough with your hands into bite sized balls until you’ve used all your dough. That’s all folks! I told you it was easy peasy, didn’t I?

All-in-all this recipe takes no longer than 15 minutes to make.

Tips for this recipe

Now, I didn’t have any trouble with the dough being too sticky for rolling. But, if you are experience this problem you can chill the dough for 30 minutes in the fridge. Chilled dough is more malleable and less sticky to handle.

Alternatively, if you’re noticing that your hands are getting sticky after rolling a few balls,  I recommend to wash your hands, wipe clean and continue. I do this often when making cookie recipes (raw or baked). Clean hands make for easy rolling.

Finally, if any chocolate chips fall out of the dough balls while rolling, you can stick them onto the surface of the finished balls at the end.

How long do these cookie dough bites keep?

These cookie dough bites will keep in the fridge for up to 10 days. Store in an air-tight container.
