Description
Delicious chocolate chip cookie dough truffles made with creamy cookie dough and coated in rich chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, heat-treated
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon milk, as needed
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening, optional
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- Gradually sift the heat-treated all-purpose flour and salt into the creamed mixture. Mix gently until a thick, pliable dough forms. If the dough appears crumbly, add milk one tablespoon at a time until the dough binds together.
- Gently fold mini chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring even distribution. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, form bite-sized portions and roll into balls. Place the dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Transfer the baking sheet with dough balls to the freezer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the truffles to firm up for easier coating.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semisweet chocolate chips with coconut oil or vegetable shortening if desired. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt in a double boiler over gently simmering water.
- Dip each chilled dough ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork or toothpick to ensure thorough coating. Let excess chocolate drip off and return to the parchment-lined sheet. Optionally, garnish with extra mini chocolate chips or sprinkles while the coating is wet.
- Allow truffles to set at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate hardens completely. Once set, serve or store as desired.
Notes
- Ensure to heat-treat the flour for safety.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- Use different types of chocolate for coating to vary flavors.
