Ella is at it again with these No Bake Cookie Dough Bites! This is a perfect recipe to add to your kid’s kitchen cookbook!

Kids' Kitchen No Bake Cookie Dough Bites are perfect for any get together. Kids can make delicious chocolate balls for friends and family. Sweet and salty flavor in bite sized portions.

Ella has been a busy little Jamie Oliver-in-training in the kitchen with flour and chocolate everywhere. A girl after my own heart!

Now, I’m not going to lie to you. Kids in the kitchen is just messy.

But the confidence, the practical life skills, the joy of all of those kitchen sensations – it’s all worth it. For example, the Tofu Chocolate Chip Cookies were a huge hit with our guests and Ella had so much joy seeing how much they loved her kid-made desserts – and it was also a lesson in compassion and consideration, creating a vegan chocolate chip cookie for our guests with special dietary needs.

It can be easy to fret over the process of cooking with kids, with flour in every corner of our kitchens, batter on the ceiling, or kids licking the chocolate out of a bowl – but the ability to explore and experiment in the kitchen can lead to the creation of beautiful morsels like these No Bake Cookie Dough Bites.

As hard as it may be, hand over the bowl and spoon to the kids and see what kind of wonderful creations come out of your kitchen.

Add in the flour 1/2 cup at a time. Mix well after each 1/2 cup, but don’t over mix!

(Note: if using wheat flour, microwave for 15 seconds, 5 times – stirring in between each reheating. You can skip this if using almond or coconut flour.)

Your dough should be moist, but not wet – a crumbly texture that “smooshes” easily should be good. Use your hands to be sure all the butter is incorporated.

Use your hands to roll the dough into one inch balls. Your child can use a tablespoon to measure out the dough so the ball are even. Place the cookie dough balls evenly on a cookie tray and place in the freezer for 10 minutes while you make the chocolate dip.

Then dip each of the chilled cookie dough balls in the chocolate dip, rolling around with a fork or spoon. Remove and place on wax paper.  If you’re a sweet n’salty fan like me, sprinkle a few sea salt flakes on top of each of the bites.

Allow your No Bake Cookie Dough Bites to cool and harden completely before serving.

    1. I prefer almond flour for this recipe, but if using wheat flour, microwave for 15 seconds, 5 times – stirring in between each reheating. You can skip this if using almond or coconut flour.

  1. The recipe mentions all purpose flour. It is not cooked so I think this could be very dangerous to give to children or adults. Should the recipe be modified to only use almond or coconut flour or wheat flour? Where it reads all purpose most people would go with all purpose flour.
