Chewy pretzel bites stuffed with sweet, gooey cookie dough for a fun and indulgent treat that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (375g)
  • 1 cup warm water (240ml)
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup edible cookie dough (220g), egg-free recommended
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, 40g)
  • 1/4 cup baking soda (60g)
  • 4 cups water (960ml)
  • 1–2 tsp coarse sea salt
  • Optional: cinnamon sugar for topping
  • Optional: melted butter for brushing

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, stir warm water (110°F / 43°C) with sugar and yeast. Let sit 5-7 minutes until foamy.
  2. Make the dough: In a large bowl or mixer, combine flour and salt. Slowly add yeast mixture and melted butter. Knead 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Let dough rise: Cover with damp cloth and let rise in warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  4. Prepare cookie dough filling: Portion edible cookie dough into small balls (~1 teaspoon each). Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  5. Shape pretzel bites: Punch down dough, divide into 12 pieces. Roll each into 3-inch circle, place cookie dough ball in center, pinch edges to seal into bite-sized balls.
  6. Prepare baking soda bath: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bring water and baking soda to gentle boil in large pot.
  7. Boil pretzel bites: Drop bites into baking soda bath for 20-30 seconds, remove with slotted spoon and drain.
  8. Bake: Place bites on lined baking sheet, 1 inch apart. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt or cinnamon sugar. Bake 12-15 minutes until deep golden brown.
  9. Optional finishing: Brush warm pretzel bites with melted butter for shine and richness.
  10. Cool slightly and enjoy: Let rest 5 minutes before serving so cookie dough sets but remains gooey.

Notes

Use egg-free edible cookie dough for safety. Ensure yeast is properly activated for light dough. Seal edges tightly to prevent leaks. Baking soda bath is essential for chewy crust and color. Brush with melted butter after baking for extra richness. Dough can be kneaded by hand if no mixer is available. Cookie dough balls should be firm before wrapping.
