Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour

Substitution: Use gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version.

1/2 tsp baking soda

Pinch of salt

Substitution: Kosher salt or sea salt can be used.

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Substitution: Coconut oil or vegan butter for dairy-free version.

1 cup brown sugar

Substitution: Coconut sugar or white sugar for a different flavor profile.

1 tsp vanilla extract

Substitution: Almond extract, maple extract, or coconut extract for a twist.

1 cup chocolate chips

Substitution: Dark chocolate, white chocolate, or peanut butter chips.

Optional: Chopped nuts, dried fruit, or sprinkles for extra texture.

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients:

Gather all your ingredients. Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature to create a smooth base. Measure all components accurately.

Mix the Dry Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.

Cream the Butter and Sugar:

In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to whip 1/2 cup unsalted butter and 1 cup brown sugar until fluffy (2-3 minutes). This will help achieve a soft and chewy texture in the cookie dough bites.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined to avoid overmixing.

Add Flavor & Mix-Ins:

Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1 cup chocolate chips (or other optional add-ins like nuts or dried fruits). Mix until evenly distributed.

Form the Bites:

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Chill the Dough:

Refrigerate the cookie dough bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up. This helps with shaping and enhances the flavor.

Serve & Enjoy:

Once chilled, your cookie dough bites are ready to enjoy! Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 8 days or freeze for longer storage.

Optional Final Touch:

Drizzle melted chocolate over the bites or sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt before chilling for an added flair.

Notes

Flavor Twists: Add espresso powder for a mocha-flavored bite or a dash of cinnamon for a spiced variation. You can also incorporate different extracts like almond or maple for unique flavor profiles.
