- ¾ cup (128 grams) chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon milk
Seasoning Ingredients:

Frying Batter Ingredients:
- 1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup (180 milliliters) milk
- 1 large egg
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Blend softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a spacious mixing bowl until the mixture becomes airy and pale, creating a smooth foundation for the cookie dough.
- Incorporate vanilla extract, then gradually fold in flour and salt, stirring until the mixture develops a consistent texture.
- Introduce milk to transform the mixture into a cohesive dough, ensuring a perfect binding of ingredients.
- Gently fold chocolate chips throughout the dough, distributing them evenly for maximum flavor in each bite.
- Carefully portion the dough into small, uniform spheres approximately the size of a tablespoon, rolling them between palms to create perfect round shapes.
- Arrange the dough balls on a parchment-lined tray, then transfer to the freezer for approximately 20 minutes to solidify and maintain structural integrity during frying.
- Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl to create a dry coating mixture.
- In a separate vessel, thoroughly combine milk and egg until they form a smooth, unified liquid base.
- Merge the wet and dry ingredients, stirring meticulously to eliminate any lumps and create a silky batter.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer, maintaining a precise temperature of 350°F to ensure optimal frying conditions.
- Delicately dip each frozen cookie dough ball into the prepared batter, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Carefully lower the battered dough into the hot oil, frying for 1-2 minutes until the exterior transforms into a golden, crispy shell.
- Extract the fried bites using a slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drain on a paper towel-lined surface.
Notes
- Freeze cookie dough balls completely before frying to prevent melting and ensure crispy exterior.
- Maintain consistent oil temperature at 350°F to achieve perfect golden-brown color without burning.
- Use a candy thermometer for precise oil temperature monitoring during frying.
- Pat excess oil off fried cookie bites with paper towels to reduce greasiness.
- Allow bites to cool slightly before serving to prevent burning and enhance flavor development.
- Serve immediately for maximum crispiness and best taste experience.
