Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls

Here in the UK, cookie dough isn’t such a big thing as it is in the US, or anywhere else it is popular. But luckily, it’s super easy to throw together, and only takes 10 minutes of your time!

This chocolate chip cookie dough recipe is made with no eggs, and the flour is baked, so it’s safe to eat.

Eating cookie dough without all the worry makes it that more enjoyable. 🙂

Ingredients you’ll need

Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make these balls. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.

  • plain/all-purpose flour
  • unsalted butter
  • light brown sugar
  • vanilla extract
  • salt
  • chocolate chips
  • milk

Yep. Simple ingredients you probably already have at home. If so, go and make these cookie dough balls right now!

How to make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls

To make these chocolate chip cookie dough balls, start by spreading the flour out evenly onto a baking tray, and bake for 5 minutes at 180C/350F/Gas 4.

This makes the flour safe to consume in a ‘no-bake’ recipe.

Whisk together the melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Fold in the flour, then the chocolate chips. If the mixture still seems a little crumbly, add 1 – 2 tablespoons of milk.

Roll the dough into 1oz balls. You’ll get about 22 – 24 balls. Refrigerate until firm, then serve, or keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

You can also freeze them for up to 3 months!

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.

Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.

These Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls are:

  • deliciously fudgy and creamy
  • super quick and easy to make
  • safe to eat – no eggs, and baked flour!
  • perfect for sharing
  • freezer-friendly

These cookie dough balls have the BEST flavour, thanks to using all brown sugar, and two teaspoons of vanilla extract – you are just gonna love them.

If you’d like a less vanilla taste, you can use just one teaspoon, but I doubt you’ll need to do that. 🙂

I used 1 whole cup of chocolate chips in this recipe, because you should know by now I love my chocolate chips! But if you’d like less, you can use 1/2 cup (90g).

Now, go and enjoy cookie dough whenever you want!

Are these dough balls quite firm?I was wondering if I could make cookie dough slice if I put the dough in a 7inch tin?
