Cookie Dough Pretzel Bites

Featured in Sweet Treats and Baked Goods.

Made these cookie dough treats for a family party and they disappeared so fast! The eggless dough is super safe and fun to make with kids helping roll the balls and stick in pretzels. First try was a bit messy but got easier. Keep everything cold while dipping in chocolate makes it way simpler. Love how the sweet cookie dough matches with the salty pretzel crunch. Usually make a double batch now cause they go quick. Great for parties or just snacking at home. Keeps about a week in the fridge but never lasts that long!

Easy No-Bake Cookie Dough Pretzel Bites

These cookie dough pretzel bites are pure snacking magic. The combination of sweet creamy cookie dough sandwiched between salty pretzels then dipped in chocolate creates something absolutely irresistible. I love making these for parties because they're so simple but always get rave reviews.

Why These Cookie Dough Pretzel Bites Disappear Fast

What makes these bites special is that perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors. The creamy cookie dough center paired with crunchy chocolate-coated pretzels creates the most amazing texture in every bite. Plus they're no-bake which means you can whip them up anytime a craving hits.

What You'll Need

  • All-purpose flour: Heat-treated for food safety.
  • Butter: Makes everything perfectly creamy.
  • Brown sugar: Adds that cookie dough magic.
  • Milk: Helps everything come together.
  • Vanilla extract: For that classic flavor.
  • Mini chocolate chips: Little bursts of chocolate.
  • Round pretzels: The perfect crunchy base.
  • Chocolate chips: For that beautiful coating.
  • Crisco: Makes our chocolate smooth and shiny.

Let's Make Some Magic

Start With Safe Flour
Heat treat your flour then let it cool completely.
Make The Dough
Mix up your cookie dough until it's perfectly sweet and creamy.
Build Your Bites
Roll and sandwich the dough between pretzels.
Add Some Shine
Dip everything in melted chocolate for that perfect finish.

Keep Them Fresh

These cookie dough pretzel bites stay perfect in the fridge for about a week. Try them with peanut butter instead of regular butter or use white chocolate for dipping. You can even add festive sprinkles for holidays.

My Kitchen Secrets

Make sure your butter is perfectly soft for the smoothest dough. Add a sprinkle of sea salt on the chocolate before it sets it takes the flavor to another level. Need them faster? Pop that dough in the freezer to chill quickly.
