Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 sticks 2 sticks (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup ¾ cup (150 g) white sugar
  • ¾ cup ¾ cup (165 g) light brown sugar
  • 2 cups 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • cup ⅓ cup milk Any dairy or dairy alternative will work.
  • 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup ⅔ cup (120 g) mini chocolate chips
  • 200 g 200 g milk or dark chocolate (for coating)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by placing softened butter, white sugar, and light brown sugar into a large mixing bowl. Beat them together with an electric mixer until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  2. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until completely blended together.
  3. Slowly stir in the all-purpose flour and salt until a soft dough forms. Make adjustments as necessary by gradually incorporating milk until you reach your desired dough texture.
  4. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to the dough, ensuring even distribution throughout.
  5. Using a teaspoon, scoop out heaped portions of dough and roll them into small balls, placing them on a parchment-lined tray.
  6. Once all the dough is rolled, refrigerate the tray for about 30 minutes to firm up the bites.
Coating
  1. While waiting, melt your choice of chocolate in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between until smooth.
  2. After the cookie dough balls have chilled, coat each one in the melted chocolate, ensuring they are evenly covered.
  3. Place them back on the lined baking sheet and allow them to set by refrigerating. For quicker results, you can let them sit at room temperature or, if preferred, chill them in the freezer for a few minutes.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage. Use parchment paper to separate layers and prevent sticking.
