Cookie Dough Truffles
Description
Cookie Dough Truffles start by heat-treating the flour to remove any raw flour flavor or risk, then cooling it. The dough is prepared by creaming softened butter with sugars and vanilla, folding in the cooled flour, salt, and mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. After shaping the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and freezing to firm up, each ball is dipped in melted semi-sweet chocolate and allowed to set. The chocolate coating provides a firm bite that contrasts with the soft, chewy dough inside.
These truffles work well as handheld sweet treats suitable for serving at gatherings or as special snacks. They do not require baking beyond preparing the flour and are best kept chilled until serving to maintain texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- ½ cup butter softened, unsalted
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips mini, semi-sweet
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate melting disks
Instructions
- Add your flour to a baking sheet and shake side to side until evenly spread out then bake in a 250 degree oven for 6-8 minutes until it reaches 160 degrees, then let cool completely.
- To your stand mixer add the butter, sugar and brown sugar and mix until light and fluffy then add the vanilla, flour, salt and chocolate chips until just combined.
- Using a one tablespoon sized ice cream scoop, scoop the dough and roll into balls then place onto a baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Melt your semisweet chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second increments until completely smooth then dip the cookie dough using a fork and tap the excess off, then sprinkle immediately before the chocolate dries.
