Combine the softened butter and brown sugar in a mixing bowl, then beat with a spatula until the mixture is creamy and smooth, with a slightly fluffy texture and a sweet aroma filling the air.
Add the vanilla extract and salt to the mixture, then stir well until fully incorporated, enhancing the aroma and flavor of the base.
Gradually pour in the all-purpose flour, mixing gently with the spatula until the dough comes together and feels soft but holds its shape when pressed.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough, and feeling the texture become slightly sticky but manageable.
Scoop about one tablespoon of dough and roll it between your palms to form a compact ball. Repeat until all the dough is portioned, placing the balls on a small baking sheet or plate.
Place the assembled bites in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the bites to firm up for easy handling.
Once chilled, serve the cookie dough bites straight from the fridge or freezer for a chewy, cold treat. For softer bites, let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before enjoying.
