To start, we need to make the cookie dough. First, heat-treat the flour. Spread 1 cup of all-purpose flour on a baking sheet. Bake it at 350°F for about 5 minutes. This step makes the flour safe to eat. After baking, let it cool down. Next, cream the softened butter with the sugars. Use 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of packed brown sugar. Mix until it looks light and fluffy. Now, add the cooled flour, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix everything well. Finally, fold in 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips. You can also add shredded coconut or chopped walnuts if you like. Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to shape the dough into small balls. Place these bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all the dough is formed, chill the bites in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This helps them firm up. While the cookie dough bites chill, it’s time to melt the chocolate. Take 1 cup of dark chocolate chips and put them in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the chocolate in 30-second bursts. Stir in between until the chocolate is smooth. Once melted, dip each cookie dough bite into the chocolate. Make sure each bite is fully coated. Then, place them back on the parchment paper. After all bites are coated, chill them again for 15-20 minutes. This allows the chocolate to harden. When the chocolate is set, it’s time to make your bites look great. You can arrange them in a decorative box or on a cake stand. For a special touch, sprinkle some sea salt on top of the chocolate. This adds a nice contrast to the sweetness.

To get the best texture, always heat-treat your flour first. This step makes the flour safe to eat. Spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake it at 350°F (175°C) for five minutes. Let it cool before mixing it into your dough. This will help your bites feel soft and not too crumbly. One mistake is not letting the dough chill enough. If you skip the chill time, the bites may not hold their shape. Another is using unheat-treated flour, which can make your bites unsafe to eat. Lastly, avoid overmixing after adding the chocolate chips. This keeps the texture light and fluffy. You will need a few key tools for success. A mixing bowl and a spoon are essential for making the dough. A small cookie scoop helps form even-sized bites. Use parchment paper to line your baking sheet for easy cleanup. A microwave-safe bowl is perfect for melting the chocolate. These tools make the process smooth and fun.
