COOKIE DOUGH TRUFFLES RECIPE
Cookie Dough Truffles are sweet, creamy, and coated in chocolate for a perfect bite-sized treat everyone will love!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- 2-3 tablespoon milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free version)
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips (for coating)
Instructions
- Prepare Cookie Dough: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- Add Flour and Milk: Gradually mix in the flour and milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Stir in mini chocolate chips.
- Shape the Truffles: Using your hands or a spoon, scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into balls, about 1-inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the Dough Balls: Refrigerate the dough balls for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Coat with Chocolate: Melt the 1 ½ cups of chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Once melted, dip each dough ball into the chocolate, coating it fully. Place back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Let Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate coating to set by refrigerating the truffles for about 15 minutes. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Make Ahead: Cookie dough truffles can be made in advance. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 1 month.
- Customizing the Flavor: Add a dash of cinnamon or a sprinkle of sea salt to the dough for a unique twist. You can also mix in crushed pretzels, nuts, or toffee bits for added texture.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve as a sweet treat at parties, as a gift, or after dinner with a glass of milk. These truffles pair well with hot cocoa or coffee.
- Storage Tips: Store truffles in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage. Keep them in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out.
