4.9 from 57 reviews

This no-bake cookie dough recipe offers a safe-to-eat treat featuring heat-treated flour and a mix of mini chocolate chips. The dough is rolled into balls, sandwiched between pretzels, and dipped in melted chocolate for a deliciously fun and easy dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Chill the Dough: Place the dough in the freezer for 10 minutes to reduce stickiness, making it easier to handle and roll into balls.
  5. Form Dough Balls: Roll the chilled dough into ½ inch balls, working one by one to maintain shape and consistency.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Dip Pretzel Sandwiches: Dip each cookie dough stuffed pretzel halfway into the melted chocolate and return it to the lined baking sheet to set.
  9. 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.
