It's cookie week 2020 and I am trying not to choose favorites... But if I did, this one wins big time. We've tested these over and over again and now that we've run out, I am still craving them. These are the best of the best. That's why they made it into my ultimate Christmas Cookie Round Up!

Cookie dough has become popular to eat, just like a scoop of ice cream, but there is only so much cookie dough you can eat in one serving. I love the bite-sized balls of chocolate chip cookie dough; they are not overly sweet, made with simple ingredients, and will be a beautiful addition to your holiday cookie board.

You no longer need to sneak bites of cookie dough while you are baking your favorite cookies; just make a batch of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls and you are all set! It's as easy as mixing up the cookie dough (which is safe to eat raw!) and dipping the balls in rich chocolate glaze. Enjoy these scrumptious bites with the rest of your festive treats, or on any day the cookie dough craving hits you!

Ingredients

Flour- All-purpose flour, like any cookie recipe!
Butter- Unsalted and at room temperature for smooth mixing
Sugar- Light brown sugar and white sugar will combine for the right sweetness and flavor
Cream- Heavy whipping cream to make the cookie dough rich
Chocolate- Semi-sweet chocolate chips for the perfect chocolatey glaze

Directions

Make The Cookie Dough

In a small bowl combine the flour and salt; set aside
In a mixing bowl with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract
Slowly add the flour to the butter mixture until it is fully incorporated and then add the tablespoon of heavy cream
Add the chocolate chips into the cookie dough and mix on low speed just until fully combined
Scoop the cookie dough using a tablespoon or mini ice cream scoop and roll into 1 inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet

Melt The Chocolate and Dip

Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl for 30-second increments until the chocolate is melted and smooth
Using a small fork, dip the cookie dough balls into the melted chocolate shaking off any excess chocolate that drips off
Place the dipped cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow them to cool and harden completely or place in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set quickly
Serve the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls or place in an airtight container to enjoy at a later time

If you're in a hurry for the chocolate chip cookie dough balls to harden, pop them in the fridge for a few minutes and the chocolate glaze will be set quickly!
For an extra touch, drizzle more chocolate glaze on the top of the balls after you've dipped them.

Can you eat raw cookie dough?

Growing up and even as adults we have all enjoyed our fair share of raw cookie dough, but it is not safe knowing that there are raw eggs in the batter. Making edible egg-free cookie dough ensures that you are enjoying each bite with safety while keeping the same delicious flavor!

Can you eat raw flour?

Raw flour can also be a concern for some, so you can purchase pasteurized flour or sprinkle the raw flour onto a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes to be on the safe side.
