Oh sweet baby goodness. If I could share these through the screen, I would!
Bite, bite, bite. All it takes is 3 bits to polish one of these babies off. Maybe 2 bites.
These cookie dough bites are eggless, they can be made gluten-free (subbing 1-1 with GF flour blend), and dairy-free if you use a dairy-free margarine. I’m all about the versatile and these are versatile and easy to adapt to fit any food allergy profile!
They don’t really fit into any ‘diet,’ except the diet that allows you to overdose on chocolate and sugar. 😉
And I say overdose, because I dare you to eat just one. Or just 4. You’ll likely end up eating 5 or 6. And that’s ok, you won’t be alone if you do. I did it too. We’ll stand united in our lack of self control when it comes to cookie dough bites.
Chances are you have everything you need on hand. Except maybe the mini chocolate chips and the candy coating. You’ll want to add those to your shopping list asap.
I would not use regular size chocolate chips in this recipe, but if it’s all you have and you INSIST on making these RIGHT NOW, you could probably make it work…but know the dough balls might not stick together quite right with the regular size chocolate chips. If you’re completely desperate, you could skip the candy coating, but I’m not one to skip out on chocolate, so…
If you can muster a little self control and wait until you can get some mini chocolate chips, then you don’t have to feel guilty about eating too many, as you used good judgment and self-control BEFORE making them so then why need any self-control AFTER making them. (OK, I’ll stop justifying now and leave you with the recipe!)
Here it is…

Wow! That looks AWESOME!!I don’t have mini chocolate chips, or chocolate candy coating, but I’m sooooo tempted to try it with “regular” chocolate chips. Size doesn’t, or shouldn’t, matter if it never makes it into balls and gets eaten straight from the bowl, right?

We made these tonight and they bombed. Not sure what we did wrong..followed the recipe exactly.

I wonder if you can use store-bought dough and almond bark??
Angela Glorioso says
I use regular chocolate chips melted, and it worked fine. I bet almond bark would work well.

I thought these recipes were using store bought dough
