When I first tried making cookie dough bites, I was impressed by how easy and satisfying they were. The combination of brown sugar and vanilla gives them a nostalgic flavor, reminiscent of my childhood. I often use mini chocolate chips for added sweetness and texture, which my friends just can't resist!
