Quick and easy cookie dough pretzel bites made using a delicious homemade edible mint chocolate chip cookie dough. The cookie dough is made edible because the flour is heated in the microwave, and no egg is used. The cookie dough is stuffed between two pretzels and dipped in melted chocolate. They make the perfect sweet and salty treat to serve for St. Patrick’s day.
The cookie dough is made by first heating the flour in the microwave for about 40 seconds. The butter is mixed with sugar until fluffy, the peppermint extract and flour are added in and mixed until a thick dough forms. Add in green food coloring, and mix until it is fully green. Fold in the chocolate chips. Evenly divide the cookie dough between pretzels, and sandwich with another pretzel. Refrigerate while you melt the chocolate. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave until it is fully melted and smooth. Dip half of each pretzel bite into the melted chocolate. Set onto plates, and let sit until the chocolate has fully set.
