Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter (Softened, use dairy-free for vegan)
  • 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Milk (Use non-dairy for vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (Must be heat-treated)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup Semisweet or Milk Chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil or Vegetable Oil (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat-Treat the Flour: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to kill any bacteria. Allow it to cool completely before using.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter and light brown sugar. Beat them together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Add Milk and Vanilla: Gently mix in the milk and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined, ensuring the liquid ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Incorporate Flour and Salt: Gradually fold in the cooled, heat-treated flour along with the salt. Continue mixing until a cohesive cookie dough forms that holds together without being sticky.
  5. Mix in Chocolate Chips: Stir the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough to distribute the chocolate flavor with every bite.
  6. Form Dough Balls: Roll the dough into 1-inch sized balls and place them on a parchment paper-lined tray for easy handling and freezing.
  7. Chill the Dough Balls: Refrigerate the shaped dough balls for approximately 20 minutes. This helps them firm up and makes dipping easier.
  8. Melt Chocolate Coating: In short bursts, melt the semisweet or milk chocolate with the optional coconut or vegetable oil in a microwave or double boiler, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  9. Dip Dough Balls: Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each chilled dough ball thoroughly with the melted chocolate, ensuring they’re fully covered for maximum indulgence.
  10. Set the Chocolate: Return the chocolate-coated bites to the parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate them for at least 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens and sets completely.
