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.

They look crazy good! I love cookie dough...and little balls of cookie dough dipped in chocolate? Yes please! Love that it only makes 8. Portion control :) And dipping all those balls, well, it gets old in a hurry. I've done it once or twice :)
Becca @ Amuse Your Bouche says
These look so gooey and lovely! I keep meaning to make cookie dough but I've been putting it off because I just KNOW I'll eat the whole lot - so a batch of 8 sounds just perfect!
Natalie says
Amen, sister. I've quit relying on my self-control. If there's a pan of brownies on my counter I will eat most of it, one forkful at a time, through out the day. I'm out of control when it comes to stuff like this.
Your man is a PB hater? Haha... another reason to like him. (I am, too. Did I ever tell you that?) Let me know how that immersion therapy goes. :)
Christina says
I never knew you hated peanut butter, Nat! I think I'm going to have to re-think our friendship....KIDDING. Love ya! :)
Becca - Cookie Jar Treats says
I don't see how anyone can hate peanut butter (well anyone that doesn't have an allergy towarss it). It's creamy and smooth and so...well...peanutty!! I have peanut butter every single day :) I love the stuff!
And these cookie dough balls look amazing! I probably wouldn't be one to share. I'd probably pop them all in my mouth right after making them, haha.
Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar says
These are so darling! Love this idea :)
Tara @ Chip Chip Hooray says
Ummm, complete perfection. And I will totally eat all of them myself. No sharing here. ;)

Yum! I might have to makes these soon. I am cleaning out the pantry since we move in less than 2 weeks. By making these cookie dough balls, it would actually cut back on the amount of stuff I have to pack or give away . Perfect! I love a good reason to make dessert.
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
Anytime I see a version of these things, it's all I can think about for days. These look amazing and 8 sounds like the perfect amount.
Miss @ Miss in the Kitchen says
Peanut butter hater? What, never heard of such a thing! I have no will power and portion control is something I need to learn about! I know the boys would love these tasty little treats!
Kathryn says
Thank goodness for a scaled down recipe, they are way too good to have 24 on hand!
