Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
- a pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (113 g) butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100 g), packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Others
- 1/2 cup (90 g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients to streamline the preparation process and ensure nothing is missed.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt to evenly distribute the salt throughout the flour.
- Cream Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until it becomes light, fluffy, and well incorporated.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry flour and salt mixture into the creamed wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Then fold in the chocolate chips evenly through the dough.
- Form Dough Balls: Scoop out small portions of the cookie dough using a spoon or cookie scoop and roll each portion between your palms to form balls. Arrange these balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Chill the Dough: Place the baking sheet with the dough balls in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 30 minutes to firm up. After this initial chilling, refrigerate the rolled bites for an additional 15 to 20 minutes to ensure they hold their shape and texture.
- Serve: Enjoy the cookie dough bites chilled directly from the fridge or allow them to come to room temperature for a softer bite. These are ready to eat as a sweet treat or snack without any baking required.
Notes
- Use heat-treated flour to ensure the dough is safe to eat raw.
- For variation, try adding nuts or different types of chocolate chips.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
- For a firmer bite, freeze the dough balls and enjoy them cold.
