Cookie Dough Bites
Description
This recipe makes Cookie Dough Bites by first heat-treating all-purpose or gluten-free flour to eliminate harmful bacteria. The flour is mixed with softened butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mini chocolate chips are folded in last, adding bursts of chocolate in each bite.
The dough is rolled into small balls, which can be eaten right away or refrigerated to firm up. These treat-sized sweets capture the essence of cookie dough without baking. Regular-sized chocolate chips can be used as an alternative to minis.
Cookies store well in the refrigerator for up to one week and freeze nicely for longer storage, making them convenient for make-ahead snacking or sharing.
