My favorite part is that they are salty and sweet! One of my favorite combos! The cookie dough is great to use in homemade ice cream or eating from a spoon as well. You know you do it too! Haha. Here’s a photo of the step-by-step process:

Cookie Dough Pretzel Bites
Ingredients
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar, gently packed
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cup (150 g) all-purpose flour, cooked*
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ½ cup (85 g) mini chocolate chips
- 56 mini pretzels
For Dipping:
- 6 oz (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, (about 1 cup)
- 1 tsp coconut oil or shortening, (for thinning the chocolate)
Instructions
- *Pre-cook the flour for the cookie dough. Simply place the flour on a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for five minutes at 350˚F. Cool completely. (Lift and fold the parchment paper to easily pour the flour into the remaining ingredients.)
- Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar, and sugar together on medium speed until light and creamy. Add the milk and vanilla. Mix. Add the flour and salt all at once and slowly mix until everything is moist. Add the mini chocolate chips. Mix.
- Roll the dough into balls, about 1½ to 2 teaspoons of dough per sandwich depending on desired size. Sandwich balls between two pretzels and place on prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 20 minutes.
- While the pretzel bites are chilling, melt with the chocolate and coconut oil or shortening for about 1 minute in microwave, stirring every 20 seconds. Dip the pretzel bites halfway into the melted chocolate and place bites back on baking sheet. Refrigerate the dipped bites for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Cover and store pretzel bites in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- NOTE: Flour has naturally occurring bacteria in it and shouldn’t be eaten raw. Flour should be cooked first for food safety. Do not skip this!

Could you make these with gluten free flour like almond flour?
I haven’t tested it myself so I can’t say for sure. You might want to opt for gluten-free all-purpose flour.
Amber can you make the cookie dough ahead of time and refrigerated it then make it into bites later in the week?
You could, but it’s best to eat the cookie dough within 5 days. So keep that in mind when you are preparing it ahead of time.
These were amazing! I made a huge batch and wonder if I can freeze some to have on-hand treats for Christmas festivities and gifts?
Yes, these will freeze just fine. Glad you enjoyed them!
