Easiest Cookie Dough Bites Ever - Simply Bakings (1)

I live in Southern California and during the summers, the temperature hits as high as 110 degrees Fahrenheit. So making these no-bake cookie dough bites paired with ice cream is perfect for this hot weather!

Tips & Procedures:

  • Feel free to use maple syrup as a natural sweetener.
  • Toast the raw flour before using it for this no-bake cookie dough bites recipe. Heating it up will eliminate any risk of bacteria.
  • It's important to sift the flour before toasting as it's not yummy to eat lumps of flour.
  • Feel free to substitute almond flour for all-purpose flour with a 1:1 ratio. You can also use coconut flour: 1 cup all-purpose flour = ¼-⅓ cup coconut flour.
  • You may use vegan butter (or coconut oil), peanut butter, or almond butter in this recipe to help the bites bind together and if you want to make it extra creamy.
  • Add more flavor and texture to the raw cookie dough ball by adding raisins, mini m&ms, or even walnuts!
  • Storage: In an airtight container, the cookie dough can be stored for up to 3 days, longer if frozen.

How to Make Cookie Dough Bites:

Ingredients you will need:

In a large bowl add butter, brown sugar, granulated, and beat until light and fluffy

Add vanilla extract, salt, and mix until well combined:

Add the flour and mix well until all of the flour has been nicely incorporated:

Add mini chocolate chips and mix:

Take a clump of dough and roll it into 1 inch balls:

Line your tray with parchment paper and place your rolled edible cookie dough. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes:

Serve and enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions:

What makes this cookie dough edible?

These cookie dough bites are safe to be eaten raw for two reasons. The first reason is that the flour is heated to a safe temperature before being added to the dough. Secondly, this recipe doesn't use a raw egg!

How can I tell if the cookie dough is bad?

Look at it- ifit has grown any mold or if it smells, then you can toss it in the trash. You will also notice that the edges start to discolor and turn darker as they gobad—they will likely be hard instead of doughy as well.

How long do you bake flour to kill bacteria?

It can be baked for five minutes at 350 degrees.

        Firstly, super yummy!
        I’m excited as there are no raw eggs in it.
        I think most people that are proficient in the kitchen are aware that raw eggs can contain salmonella, which can cause a serious case of food poisoning and possibly death.
        Luna? Keep on eating those raw eggs! I’m not opposed to 1 less nasty person in the world 🙂

    Hi. I am a tween and I believe I am at an intermediate level (I make a lot of deserts for family gatherings, bake cookies for my neighbors every year, and some have asked to buy things from me), but I was wondering if you could do simple one severing or two recipes so you could quickly whip up something for you and a friend. I like your channel and LOVE this recipe( I halfed it so that I only made a few but regret that because they are SO good!). Keep doing what your doing. You inspire so many of my friends who have never made anything from scratch to actually bake things. Tell me which of your recipes I should try next!! 🙂

      Hi Nani! Sorry for the late response! :/ Here's the thing with this recipe since it has few ingredients it's hard to substitute. If you were to replace the vanilla extract I suggest replace it with another extract like almond! (: Did it taste good at least with the maple syrup? Anywho, I hope this comment helps you!!!

    I am pregnant and was craving cookie dough, thankfully I came across this recipe! I didn't have any chocolate chips, but I did have some of the unwrapped mini Reeses, so I chopped them up a bit and used them instead! So delicious! Now just to keep my husband and other kids from eating them all before I get a chance to buy chocolate chips to try it the original way. 😆
