Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons milk (or dairy-free alternative)
¼ cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Add Vanilla Extract: Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and stir to combine.
- Mix in Flour and Salt: Gradually mix in the flour and salt, ensuring everything is well combined and no dry pockets remain. The dough will begin to form into a thick consistency.
- Adjust the Texture: If the dough is too crumbly, add the milk one tablespoon at a time until the mixture is smooth and holds together well.
- Add Chocolate Chips and Nuts: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and, if using, chopped nuts.
- Shape the Dough: Using a spoon, scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Chill the Dough Bites: Place the cookie dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the dough.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, your cookie dough bites are ready to enjoy!
Notes
Flavor Variations: Customize these cookie dough bites with mini chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or sprinkles for a fun twist.
Dairy-Free Option: Use dairy-free butter and a milk alternative like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
Texture Tip: For firmer bites, chill the dough longer or reduce the amount of milk used.
