Making the cookie dough is similar to how you would make regular chocolate chip cookies, except for these there is no eggs. Softened butter is creamed with both granulated and brown sugars until it is creamy. Mix in milk and vanilla extract, beating until smooth. Beat in flour and salt until all of the mixture is incorporated and a thick dough forms. Using a spatula, gently fold in chocolate chips into the dough.
Roll the cookie dough into tablespoon sized ovals and place onto plates. Refrigerate the cookie dough until they are firm. Melt the chocolate candy coating according to the package directions, until it is smooth. Dip each chocolate chip football into the chocolate, covering it completely. Place the bites back onto plates and let the chocolate set. Melt the white chocolate candy coating according to package directions, until it is smooth. Place the chocolate into a piping bag and pipe laces onto the footballs. Let the chocolate set. Store the cookie dough bites in an airtight container in the fridge until serving, or for up to 2 weeks.
