Ingredient Notes
- Cream cheese – This makes up the base of the cookie dough. Use the kind that comes in sticks, not the spreads in tubs.
- All purpose flour – Make sure to heat treat your flour before using it in this recipe.
- Mini chocolate chips – The small size of the morsels is perfect for bite sized cookie dough treats. Semi-sweet or milk chocolate are both good options.
- Pretzel twists – You can use salted or unsalted, depending on how much salty flavor you like.
- Ghirardelli melting wafers – For dipping the pretzel bites. The melted wafers set up smooth and soft on the dipped pretzels for a great texture and “clean” appearance.
- Sprinkles – These are optional. I love using different kinds of sprinkles for different occasions!
Easy Assembly
First, get all your cookie dough pretzel bite ingredients ready.
Mix together the cookie dough and melt the chocolate wafers.
If you’re using both dark and chocolate wafers, make sure to melt them in separate bowls.
Line up mini pretzel twists on baking sheet. Drop a scoop of cookie dough onto each pretzel. I use a 1 TBS cookie scoop like this one to make them uniform.
Press a second pretzel on top. Dip half of each pretzel bite into the melted chocolate. If you’re using sprinkles, add them right away, before the chocolate starts to harden.
Let the dipped pretzel bites set for about 10 minutes before eating. You can enjoy them right away or store them in the refrigerator for later!
Recipe FAQs
Heat treating is a process of heating raw flour at high temperatures. Since raw flour can contain bacteria and other less-than-appetizing microbes, heat treating is necessary for no-bake recipes with flour.
Here’s an easy guide with tips and tricks for heat treating your flour.
You can prepare these a day or two ahead of time. The bites taste best if eaten within 48 hours. After that, the pretzels start to get soft and lose their crunch.
You can, but the results won’t be as good. Chocolate melting wafers are specially tempered so the chocolate melts and sets up smooth. Chocolate chips will set up coarser with a chalky finish.
Store these cookie dough pretzel bites covered in the refrigerator. Keep chilled when not eating.
