No-bake cookie dough bites
You’re going to hate me for this one. It’s going to make you very, very fat.
When I make cookies, only about half of the dough ever actually gets baked. The rest inexplicably jumps into my mouth straight from the bowl. In fact… I usually start picking at the dough when it’s only at the ‘sugar creamed with butter’ stage (why is this so delicious? It’s so wrong). Although eating raw cookie dough is one of the only reasons that I ever make cookies, there’s always a slight guilt that my greediness has disrupted my baking. Plus there’s always the nagging feeling that eating raw egg is going to make me hideously sick, even though there’s actually very little chance of that these days.
Cue guilt-free cookie dough eating! Certainly not guilt-free in terms of calories, but you don’t need to feel bad for eating the dough before baking, because that’s what’s meant to happen. Plus there’s no raw egg, so no chance of illness.
The only problem you might have is resisting the urge to pick up the entire lump of dough and eat it like an apple before you even roll it into balls. If you’re really having trouble, you can do the whole ‘one for the bowl, three for my mouth’ thing. That’s the route I took. It was a very delicious route.
If you want to be really fancy, you can even drizzle these with extra melted chocolate once you’ve rolled the dough into balls – or even cover them entirely to make little truffles. But who has the patience for that when there’s a bowl of cookie dough in front of you?
Now excuse me while I go and stuff my face with the rest of these.
- 70g granulated sugar
- 80g light brown sugar
- 100g unsalted butter
- 2tbsp milk
- 150g plain flour
- 70g milk chocolate chips
- Using your fingertips, cream together the sugars and butter. Add the milk, and mix to combine.
- Add the flour a bit at a time, and continue mixing thr dough with your hands. Finally add the chocolate chips, and mix well to ensure they are evenly distributed.
- If the mixture is too soft to shape into balls at this stage, leave it in the fridge to set for an hour.
- Use a teaspoon or small scoop to break off small pieces of dough, and roll them into balls in the palms of your hands. Store in the fridge.

OMG! These look amazing and I have everything I need minus the chocolate chips!?
These look absoutely amazing. I’m definitely going to make these sometimes. I just have a quick question. How long do these typically keep for in the fridge? Thank you so much.
Haha well to be honest they’re usually eaten within a couple of days ;) So I’m not entirely sure. But I reckon they could probably last a few days longer. Really the best thing is to just see whether they look and smell normal – and if so, they’re probably okay :)
Made these and decided no one else needs to eat them. I’ll eat them all. Every single one of them.
Haha!! That sounds like a very sensible idea ;)
not perfect conversions but likely close enough for those asking:
1/3 Cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 Cup unsalted butter
2tbsp milk
1 1/4 Cup plain flour
1/3 cup milk chocolate chips
Ooh thank you Chris :)
What is a g in cups?
I have no idea, I don’t use cups.
need U.S. conversion ;)
Sorry Anon, I’m not American so I’m not sure why you think I’d give the American measurements! I can’t please everyone so instead I just give the recipe I used.
I too am looking for the American measurements. I tried to google the conversion, but I guess it’s pretty different. Thanks anyways! Looks delicious!

So cute, I could pop many, many!!
These look deeeeelicious! The best part about cookies to me is the dough so I imagine these would definitely hit the spot. I want to put them in a plastic baggy and carry them around in my purse to snack on all day long ;)
Okay, I made these today and these are the changes I came up with:
– A splash of vanilla, because I’m accustomed to vanilla in my chocolate chip cookies
– A scant pinch of salt, to offset some of the sweetness from the sugars & vanilla
– Semisweet chocolate chips, because I pretty much always use them instead of milk chocolate
These appear to be the changes you took out of the original recipe which I only just realized is the case, which means I came up with these independently which means go me! I’m learning to cook!
Otherwise…these are quite great. :)
I both love and hate you for this recipe. LOL I think I’ll make it at my sister’s and share the love/guilt.
This is perfect – I’ve been looking for an eggless cookie dough recipe to put in my homemade ice cream, and the one I tried so far was very crumbly and fell apart. This looks like it would be PERFECT for that!
i recently started seeing no bake cookie dough on pinterest lately. this looks seriously amazing! i really love all form of unbaked dough!
Pretty sure I should never make these ever…way too dangerous. When you bake things do you typically use salted or unsalted butter?
Unsalted – I’ll add it into the recipe :)
Oh.My.Goodness. I eat the batter too..now I can say I’m just eating the finished product haha (for once!) I love the idea of making them into truffles for the ultimate decadent treat. Wow!
This very cool. Think I’m going to take your approach and pop one in the bowl, then one in my mouth. I’m the same with eating the batter, I love the taste of creamed butter and sugar. Oh god yeah! x
