Chocolate-Dipped Cookie Dough Bites are the perfect indulgence for anyone with a sweet tooth. These little treats combine the rich, buttery flavor of classic cookie dough with a luscious chocolate coating.
Gather all the ingredients and tools you will need, including a mixing bowl, spatula, cookie scoop, parchment paper, and a microwave-safe bowl for melting chocolate.
Cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
Add the pure vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or your hands, portion out the dough into small balls, about one inch in diameter, and place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill the dough balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate and coconut oil (if using). Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Dip each chilled dough ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are completely coated, and allow excess chocolate to drip off.
Sprinkle additional toppings if desired before the chocolate sets.
Refrigerate for another 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate coating is firm.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
For variations, consider adding nuts, using different types of chocolate, or incorporating flavor extracts.
