Dough Ingredients
- 3/4 cup salted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla paste or vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups heat-treated all-purpose flour
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup sprinkles of choice (divided)
- 1 cup milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Dipping
- 1/2 cup melted chocolate (for dipping)
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the melted and cooled butter, then whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla paste or extract until fully combined and smooth.
- Form the Dough: Gradually add the heat-treated flour to the wet ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together. Then, fold in the chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of sprinkles evenly into the dough.
- Scoop and Freeze: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a mini cookie scoop, portion the dough into small bite-sized balls and place them on the sheet. Freeze the dough balls for about 15 minutes, or until firm enough to handle for dipping.
- Dip and Decorate: Once firm, dip half of each cookie dough ball into the melted chocolate. Immediately sprinkle with the remaining sprinkles and a pinch of salt if desired. Place the dipped bites back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the dipped cookie dough bites for 15 to 20 minutes or until the chocolate coating is completely set. Serve chilled and enjoy these sweet, bite-sized treats!
Notes
- Heat-treat the flour by baking it at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, then let it cool to ensure it’s safe to eat raw.
- If the dough feels too dry, add an extra tablespoon of milk a little at a time until the right consistency is reached.
- The recipe uses no raw eggs, making the dough safe for eating raw.
- Use high-quality melting chocolate or chocolate melts for the dipping coating for best texture and shine.
- Store the cookie dough bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
