No-Bake Cookie Dough Bon Bons

I love anything that feels festive without being fussy — and these cookie dough bon bons are exactly that.

I’m a big fan of using place-and-bake cookie dough for cookies and cookie cakes, especially during the busy holiday season.

Recently, I noticed that some of the Pillsbury ready-to-bake dough actually says it’s safe to eat raw (thanks to heat-treated flour).

That little detail totally changed the game.

I love making bon bons at Christmas, so I decided to use safe-to-eat cookie dough as the base this year — and they were an instant hit.

They’re rich, chocolatey, and feel a little fancy… but couldn’t be easier. And kids can help with almost every step.

Ingredients

• 1 package place-and-bake cookie dough that is safe to eat raw
  👉 (I used Pillsbury Monster Cookie Dough — it has oats, chocolate chips, and M&Ms and is SO good)
• 1 cup chocolate chips or white chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening
• Optional: Christmas sprinkles

Step 1: Prep the cookie dough

If you’re using the Pillsbury pack with 12 XL cookies, cut each cookie in half using a butter knife. This will give you about 24 bon bons.

If you’re using a standard pack with 24 regular-sized cookies, you won’t need to cut them at all.

Step 2: Roll into balls

Using your hands, roll each piece of cookie dough into a smooth ball.

Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper.

Step 3: Melt the chocolate

Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil (or shortening) to a microwave-safe bowl.

Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each round, until fully melted and smooth.
(It took about 4 rounds for me.)

Step 4: Dip and decorate

Carefully dip each cookie dough ball into the melted chocolate, coating it fully.

Place it back onto the lined baking sheet.
If you’d like, add festive sprinkles on top while the chocolate is still wet.

Step 5: Let them set

Allow the bon bons to cool until the chocolate hardens.
You can speed this up by placing the tray in the refrigerator.

These Cookie Dough Bon Bons aren’t just for Christmas either — just swap out the sprinkles and they work for any holiday or celebration.

Easy treats, minimal mess, and maximum holiday magic.
