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.

Brilliant scaling them down. I just freeze them when I have made the bigger batches. But sometimes there just isn't room in the freezer!

These look dangerous:)

So great to see a recipe that doesn't make 2948702760287 bites. This sounds just perfect for our house - there are only 2 people to feed. Pinned!

This needs to happen in my kitchen. Hope that peanut butter hater sees the light!

These are definitely going on the menu for my daughter's communion party! They look absolutely sinful!

I adore the fact that your recipe only makes 8 cookie dough bites. Just enough for me to have them all to myself! They look super scrumptious, Christina. Thanks for sharing!

You've done it again! Although I have to say, I have no shame in eating cookie dough or loving chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. Then again, my favorite order at our local ice cream place is a vanilla cone with rainbow sprinkles. I'm just embracing my inner 5-year-old.

Madison: before you do it, I have to warn you: don't substitute with whole wheat pastry flour. I tried it, and it tasted awful. It actually tasted like straw. I'm normally a big fan of whole grains, but not here :/
