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:
Are you as excited to make these as I am to post about them?! Enjoy my friends!

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!

They are really good my daughter loves them like crazy
I made these the other day and they were yummy! However, the pretzels turned a little soggy. How do you avoid this from happening?
Hmm, I’m not sure. I didn’t have that problem. Maybe loosely wrap them when you store them, so they don’t build up condensation in the refrigerator. Glad you liked them though!
I wanna make this for a sweet christmas treat but I am curious as to how many this serves
It depends on how big or small you make the cookie dough balls. I got 28 about 1 1/2 Tbsp in size.
Absolutely LOVED these! I made them for work and for Thanksgiving family get together. Gone after a few hours.
The sweet/ salty combo is addicting. Making them for third time within 2 weeks. Definite keeper! Thank you for sharing.
Yay! I’m so glad you are enjoying them so much! I too love salty-sweet combos! Thanks for your review!
Amber, I told my wife about these and she said, “That sounds disgusting”. She then proceeded to eat 6 in a row as I watched her eyes rolling back into her head with each bite. Next thing I knew she was curled up on the couch saying “I feel ill, why did you let me eat all those”…Sorry Honey, it’s Amber’s fault. Lol… All I did was follow the recipe.
Well, thanks for blaming me! Haha! 😉 Glad you all enjoyed them so much! I’m crazy for salty-sweet treats!
These cookie dough pretzel bites look amazing, Amber! I’m guilty of eating the cookie dough before cooking- it’s too good and pretty addictive! 😀
Thanks Jess! I don’t think I know one person who doesn’t eat raw cookie dough! haha.
These are so adorable! I love eggless cookie dough and could easily eat 10 in one sitting! I am a total sucker for sweet and salty snacks 🙂 Pinning!
I eat even the cookie dough with eggs (shh!), but these are a great alternative and you don’t have to wonder if you are going to get sick! Haha. Thanks for pinning Kelly!
I was thinking about these the other day and wondered if you had posted them yet! Looks so yummy!!!
Haha, yeah, I’m usually a couple weeks ahead of schedule. Gotta spread out the sweet stuff between all the savory meals I’ve been posting!
Oh my gosh…I don’t think I would be able to stop at even 5 of these! LOVE how bite-sized and mini they look. Which means I can totally eat more. 😀 Eggless cookie dough is the best!
They are ridiculously good, but I shared, so I didn’t kill my diet, thankfully!
I love the eggless cookie dough! I am afraid I’d eat 10 of these in one sitting! Pinned!
I’m glad I brought these to a bloggers night because then I didn’t eat them all! Thanks for pinning Jen!
