Cookie Dough Pretzel Bites

Oh My Gawwwd. These are so bad in the best way possible. Finally a recipe that encourages eating raw cookie dough and requires no baking! Don't worry, it's egg free and exactly how you think it will taste. Sweet, salty, chocolatey and all kind of textures from velvety to crispy to sink your teeth into. Now go make it! Your friends will thank you and thank you and thank you then request it the next time they see you. Happy non-baking!

Servings: Makes about 35 small pretzel bites
Total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Cookie dough

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons milk (almond or soy works great as well)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 3/4 cups flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips


1 bag small pretzels (no judgement if you use the regular sized ones)
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 Tablespoon oil (shortening, coconut oil, olive oil or whatever you have)
3 Tablespoons milk (again any milk works)

Directions

1. In a big bowl mix the butter, brown sugar, and sugar with a mixer until smooth and fluffy.
2. Stir in the milk and vanilla until combined.
3. Mix in the flour and salt and combine until it all comes together. Last stir in chocolate chips.
4. Roll about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough into a ball and sandwich between 2 pretzels. Set on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 10 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, wash your dirty dishes then melt the chocolate with the oil and milk in the microwave for about 1 1/2 minutes stirring every 30 seconds.
6. Take out cookie dough bites from the freezer and dip them half way into chocolate and return to baking sheet. 
7. Let chill in the freezer for 10 minutes if serving immediately or in the refrigerator if serving later. They say these last up to 5 days in the refrigerator but I've never been able to keep them around for that long.
