Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup softened butter (1 stick)
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (heat treated)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Chocolate Coating:
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips or chunks (melted)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- Heat Treat the Flour: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the all-purpose flour for 60-90 seconds, stirring halfway through to ensure even heating. Allow it to cool completely before using to make the dough safe to eat.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy. This forms the base of your cookie dough.
- Add Liquids and Flour: Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until combined. Gradually sprinkle in the heat-treated flour and stir until a dough forms. Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly.
- Chill the Dough: Place the dough in the freezer for 10 minutes to reduce stickiness, making it easier to handle and roll into balls.
- Form Dough Balls: Roll the chilled dough into ½ inch balls, working one by one to maintain shape and consistency.
- Assemble with Pretzels: Sandwich each cookie dough ball between two pretzels, gently pressing to combine without squeezing out the dough, then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Melt Chocolate: Combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Dip Pretzel Sandwiches: Dip each cookie dough stuffed pretzel halfway into the melted chocolate and return it to the lined baking sheet to set.
- Chill to Harden: Transfer the dipped pretzel sandwiches to the fridge or freezer to allow the chocolate to harden fully before serving.
Notes
- Heat treating the flour is important to make the dough safe to eat raw.
- Freezing the dough before shaping helps reduce stickiness for easier handling.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking during assembly and dipping.
- For a darker chocolate flavor, use semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
