These raw cookie dough bites are eggless and made with heat treated flour, making them the perfect bite-sized treat for your sweet tooth.
Who doesn't love bite-sized desserts - from chocolate peanut butter banana bites to nutella biscuits to chocolate pumpkin cups.
Who doesn't love cookie dough? If you say no, you're lying! I mean is there much better than just eating that little extra bit of cookie dough at the end making some cookies.
Problem is with raw eggs and flour, there is always a health risk. While small, no need to take chances. So these have no eggs and you bake the flour to kill and bacteria.
Why This Recipe Works
- For cookie dough lovers - If you are a fan of raw cookie dough, you will love these bites.
- On-the-go treat - Since these cookie dough bites are bite-size, they are the perfect treat if you are in a rush or just want something small to satisfy your cravings.

Ingredient Notes
- Flour - all-purpose flour is used here and it is baked to kill and potential bacteria.
- Sugar - the combination of light brown and granulated sugar gives the bites great flavor.
- Sweetened condensed milk - adds some sweetness without the added grit of sugar.
- Chocolate chips - since these are bite-sized I like to use mini chocolate chips.
Ingredient Swaps
As with any recipe, you can mix up the ingredients. Some variations include:
- While all-purpose flour is the base of these cookie dough treats, you can replace gluten-free flour or something like almond flour.
- I mentioned above I like the combination of light brown sugar and granulated sugar, but you can use all of one or the other. Or you can use something like coconut sugar.
- I'm a fan of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate or even M&M's.
