No Bake Cookie Dough Balls

Here’s a simple recipe for No Bake Cookie Dough Balls that you can prepare in no time!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (or more to taste)
• 2 tablespoons milk (or more as needed)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Flour:
   • To ensure the flour is safe to eat raw, heat it up. Place the flour in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, or bake it at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Let it cool before using it.
2. Make the Dough:
   • In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or a whisk.
3. Add Wet Ingredients:
   • Add the vanilla extract and salt to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until everything is well combined.
4. Incorporate the Flour:
   • Gradually add the cooled flour to the mixture, stirring until it is well combined. The dough should be thick and crumbly.
5. Add Chocolate Chips:
   • Stir in the mini chocolate chips (and any other optional add-ins, like nuts or dried fruit, if desired).
6. Adjust the Consistency:
   • If the dough feels too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until the dough reaches a cookie dough-like consistency.
7. Form the Balls:
   • Roll the dough into bite-sized balls using your hands or a cookie scoop. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Chill:
   • Refrigerate the cookie dough balls for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
9. Serve:
   • Enjoy immediately, or store the cookie dough balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Optional Add-ins:

• Chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans)
• Mini M&Ms or candy pieces
• Sprinkles for extra fun!
