I’m back from SF! And very glad to be back, might I add. No matter what, I will always be a SoCal girl. I’m just not made for cold weather… which is kind of ironic, because it looks like I’ll be moving up north this summer. I went with my DB for admitted students weekend at Berkeley, and he really fell in love with Boalt. We did our fair share of eating, walking, and mingling, but darn, it feels good to be home. Foodie pictures to come!
While home, I pop cookie dough bites like there’s not tomorrow. So when I saw this recipe from Visions of Sugar Plum, it was a given that I had to make them. You can buy the cookie dough bites candy from Target, the movie theatre, or even Dollar Tree!
These cookies are perfect. Hearty, soft, and chewy.. the trifecta of cookies. Give them a go, cookie dough lovers!
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts, toasted
- 1 cup chocolate chunks
- 2 (4 ounce) packages chocolate covered cookie dough bites
- Sift together flour, baking soda, and sea salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla. Cream in softened butter until mixed.
- Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in dry ingredients until incorporated.
- Stir in walnuts, chocolate chunks, and cookie dough candy until combined.
- Chill cookie dough in the freezer for at least an hour.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Roll the dough into balls and place on cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown on top.
Makes 2 dozen cookies
OMG! You were in my town 🙂 wish i knew so I coulda showed you around!!! Lotsa yummy food places here in Berkeley! Hope you enjoyed your stay… and it funny that you’re a true Socal girl bc I think I always say I’m a true Norcal girl bc I can’t do the sun all day every day. hehe

these look perfect!!i have made cookies with those bites before..on their own they’re not that great..but in a cookie they are yummy!!!!
Mmm they look yummy! I’ll have to give them a try but will substitute out the walnuts (here in Montreal we’ve had a samonella scare and walnuts sold in bulk format containers have been recalled).
Thanks for the recipe!!
