Chocolate chip Fried Cookie Dough for the ultimate indulgent dessert!
Okay, I went there, y’all! I fried cookie dough! Yes…I battered and fried balls of chocolate chip loaded cookie dough and there’s no going back. Wow!
Talk about the ultimate indulgence! A thin layer of crispy sweet breading surrounds melting chocolate chip cookie dough that will literally make you weak in the knees.
It’s super easy to make these little balls of fried bliss. You just mix together the cookie dough and freeze it in balls while you prep the batter and oil. Then it’s fry time…
Once I fried and tasted my first one, I had to keep telling myself “just keep calm and fry on”! 😉 Mmmm-AZING!!
I have a feeling we’ll be frying cookie dough pretty frequently from now on! An experience I definitely want to experience over and over again!
Indulge & Enjoy!

Description
Chocolate chip Fried Cookie Dough for the ultimate indulgent dessert!
Ingredients
Dough:
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, for dipping
- 4–5 cups vegetable oil, for frying
- powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cookie Dough: In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars until smooth. Add the vanilla and milk and beat until well combined. Stir in the flour until just combined and then the chocolate chips until distributed throughout the dough. Scoop two-teaspoon sized balls of dough onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Freeze for 20 minutes while you prepare the batter and heat the oil.
- For the batter, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, oil and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and whisk until thin and smooth.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan to 375°F.
- Remove the cookie dough from the freezer and shape into smooth round balls with your hands. Place 1/2 cup flour in a small bowl. Roll each ball of cookie dough in the flour and then dip in the batter, using a fork to roll it around in the batter and transfer it to the hot oil for frying. Fry each ball of dough for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown all around and crisp on the outside. Remove to a paper towel and dust with powdered sugar before serving. Best served immediately.
I recently came across your site. I’m in love. There are so many wonderful recipes on here that I will be able to WOW with thru the holidays. Thank you, I’m your newest fan.
Can I freeze these and pull them out when I want to use them? would it be the same process frying them? if so how long will they last frozen? Thank you for your time.
Hi Richard! Absolutely, just dip them in the batter and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Once you’ve dipped all of the cookie dough balls, place them uncovered in the freezer to freeze completely. Once they’re frozen completely, you can transfer them to a freezer safe baggie or container and freeze for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to fry them, just continue the recipe as written. They’ll just take an extra few minutes to fry and heat completely through. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
Hi, can I use the air fryer instead of the deep fryer? Would this work? Let me know.
Thanks!
Elizabeth
Hi Elizabeth! I couldn’t say for sure because I’ve never tried it as I don’t own an air fryer, but it’s certainly worth a try. Let us know if you try it.
thank you for sharing this beautiful work
How do I store them afterwards if there left overs?
Hi Megan! They’re best served fresh fried, but you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven under the broiler for 1-3 minutes. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
Hey I was wondering if I could use any chocolate chip cookie recipe? Or does it have to be this one?? Thanks!
Hi Charlotte! I’ve only tried it with this cookie dough recipe, but I think any eggless cookie dough recipe that’s thick enough to hold it’s ball shape when frozen should work. Enjoy!
Hi i have two questions!
Can i use store bought cookie dough? And what oil do you use to fry it in, i assume canola?
Hi, Faye! Yes, you can use store-bought cookie dough. And canola works just fine! Hope this helps!
I had some problems. I dipped the ball
Into the flour than the batter. I had to force the batter to stick to the ball and as they were frying all of the cookie dough came out and became a huge mess in the frying pan.
Hi Teri! Did you coat the cookie dough ball completely in flour? Was the batter thick or thin when you dipped the ball in it? If for some reason your batter was too thick, it would have a harder time sticking. Did you follow the ingredients exactly? Would love to help troubleshoot what went wrong.
