I stumbled upon this recipe during one of my late-night cravings, and honey, it’s been my guilty pleasure ever since. Let me introduce you to Deep-Fried Cookie Dough Bites – because who doesn’t need a little sinful indulgence when the midnight munchies hit?
These crispy-on-the-outside, gooey-on-the-inside bites of heaven are exactly what you need after a long day. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you later! 😉
What you’ll need:
– 1 tube of refrigerated cookie dough
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 eggs
– 1 cup milk
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– Vegetable oil for frying
– Powdered sugar for dusting
– Optional: chocolate sauce for drizzling

Let’s get cooking, bestie:
1. Cut that cookie dough into 1-inch chunks and pop them in the freezer for about 30 minutes. We want them firm but not rock-solid!
1. While you’re waiting (I know, patience is hard), whisk together your flour, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. This is your batter, and it needs to be thicc with two c’s!
1. Heat your oil to 375°F (use a thermometer, we’re not playing games here).
1. Now for the fun part! Take those chilled dough balls, dip them in the batter, and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Don’t overcrowd the pan – these babies need their space!
1. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through. They should look like little golden nuggets of happiness.
1. Drain on paper towels and dust with powdered sugar while they’re still warm. If you’re feeling extra (which I always am), drizzle with chocolate sauce.
Pro tip: Keep a glass of milk nearby – you’re gonna need it!
Y’all, I cannot even begin to tell you how addictive these are. My roommate literally tried to hide them from me last time I made them! 🙄
