Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 bites
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 2 cups chocolate for dipping
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes.
- Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the cookie dough into bite-sized balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter.
- Place the formed dough balls on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to firm up, which will make them easier to handle.
- While the dough chills, melt the dipping chocolate using a double boiler or microwave. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval to ensure smooth melting.
- Remove the chilled dough balls from the refrigerator. Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage.
- Gently tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate, then place the chocolate-covered dough bite back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Optional: Sprinkle additional chocolate chips or drizzle contrasting chocolate over the dipped bites for decoration.
- Refrigerate the chocolate-dipped cookie dough bites for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
- Store the finished bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for the best texture.
Tips
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for the best creaming results. This will help create a light and fluffy texture in your cookie dough.
- Don’t Overmix: When adding the flour, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough bites, so be gentle when folding in the chocolate chips.
- Chill for Better Handling: Refrigerating the dough balls for 15-20 minutes not only makes them easier to dip but also helps them hold their shape during the chocolate coating process.
- Melting Chocolate Tips: Whether you use a double boiler or microwave, melt your chocolate slowly and stir frequently. This prevents burning and ensures a smooth, glossy finish for your bites.
- Decorative Touches: For an extra touch of flair, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top of the dipped bites or drizzle contrasting chocolate over them before they set.
- Storage: Keep your Chocolate Dipped Cookie Dough Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll stay fresh for up to 5 days, but trust us—they won’t last that long!
