Description
Satisfy your sweet tooth with these safe-to-eat Edible Cookie Dough Bites. They are egg-free and made with heat-treated flour, creating a perfect no-bake treat.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup mini candy coated chocolate gems (optional)
Instructions
- Spread the flour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake the flour at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes until the temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Cool the flour completely, then sift it into a bowl.
- Beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the milk, vanilla extract, and salt; mix until incorporated.
- Gradually add the cooled, heat-treated flour, mixing on low speed until soft dough forms; add more milk if too dry.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and optional gems by hand.
- Scoop the dough by the tablespoon and roll into smooth balls.
- Place the bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Heat treating the flour is a critical safety step.
- Sifting the flour after baking removes clumps and ensures smooth texture.
- Use mini chocolate chips for a better chocolate ratio in each bite.
- If the dough is too soft, chill the bowl for 15 minutes before rolling.
- Store airtight in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Freeze for up to 3 months.
