Chocolate Covered Cookie Dough Hearts are adorable no-bake treats with a rich, egg-free cookie dough center, dipped in melted chocolate and perfect for gifting, parties, or satisfying a sweet tooth.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp milk or cream
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup melting chocolate or chocolate chips (dark, milk, or white)
  • Optional: sprinkles or flaky salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Cream together softened butter and sugars until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Mix in vanilla, salt, and milk until combined.
  3. Add heat-treated flour and mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
  5. Roll out dough and cut into hearts using a cookie cutter, or press into a lined pan and shape.
  6. Freeze hearts for 20–30 minutes until firm.
  7. Melt chocolate in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
  8. Dip each dough heart into melted chocolate, let excess drip off, and place on a lined tray.
  9. Top with sprinkles or flaky salt if desired.
  10. Chill in the fridge until chocolate is set.

Notes

  • Heat-treat flour before using to ensure safety (bake at 350°F for 5–7 minutes or microwave until 165°F).
  • Use dairy-free butter and milk for a vegan version.
  • Add peanut butter or pretzels for a flavor twist.
  • Shape into balls or squares if cookie cutters aren’t available.
  • Best served slightly chilled for texture and freshness.
