I like cookie dough. You like cookie dough. We all like cookie dough. But let’s have some portion control, shall we?
This recipe makes only 8 cookie dough bites. If you are someone who eats cookie dough in secret, in fear of being considered childish for liking it, this one’s for you. You can eat the whole batch, leaving no evidence behind. If your heart is big enough to share, that means 4 cookie dough bites each: no more, no less.
I don’t know about y’all, but when Jessica shared her Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cups, my heart skipped a beat. I needed them in my life.
The problem was, if I made 24 cups, I would surely eat all 24 cups. Wisdom comes with age, and I’ve come to know myself pretty well these days. I have no regard for portion control; if it’s in my house, I will eat it.
So, what to do?
I scaled them down, of course. Well, they're not hers exactly because I have a peanut butter hater in my house (don't worry, I've enrolled him in peanut butter immersion therapy), but they’re pretty darn close.
Enjoy these secretly in the kitchen, or share them with someone lucky. It's your choice.
These no bake cookie bites are the perfect treat!
*I used unsweetened chocolate for these, because the dough is very rich and sweet. You may use bittersweet or even milk chocolate, if you like.

Portion control!? What's that? I love you for forcing it upon me, or should I say my pants thank you. They look positively sinful!

Alyssa says
These look so good!! I like how there is only a small portion of them, that would be perfect for me and my husband. I really like your site and am glad I found it. I am a new follower!

This is like a little dream come true! Smart to make a small portion, I imagine they would go really fast. Thanks for the share!

I'm eating healthy and working out - trying to get my weight down.. and I was CRAVING sweets tonight.. and I'm not a big sweets person.. so I did this without any of the chocolate, ate a couple spoonfulls warm, and that fixed my craving! <3 Still not healthy, but better then making a whole batch of cookies and eating them the next few days!

I just found your site and want to say thank you so much :D I am a baker with a short attention span with too many friends on diets so I need to bake in small batches. This makes me so happy.
