When creating these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites, my mind went to making cookies with my Mom as a kid. Whenever I’m creating a new recipe, I almost always think of childhood memories for inspiration, and chocolate chip cookie dough is a big one for me.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites are the ideal snack to send your kiddos to school with, make for a family gathering or just to have in the fridge as a healthy snack for yourself.
For these, I wrapped the cookie dough in a layer of chocolate praline, which adds a whole other layer of delight to them. You could easily just make the cookie dough, roll them into balls, dip in chocolate and be on your way. But the praline really makes it decadent.
As you can see, I rolled these in chopped nuts, walnuts to be specific. A top tip for that step is to pulse the walnuts in the food processor, then run them through a sieve to remove the powdery bits. This gives you a much cleaner finish. I also roasted the walnuts to give that more authentic cookie dough vibe.
