Cookie Dough Truffles
Cookie Dough Truffles combine a smooth, rich cookie dough center with a crisp outer chocolate coating. These bite-sized treats use heat-treated flour for safety and mini chocolate chips mixed into a brown sugar-based dough, chilled before being dipped in melted high-quality chocolate. The truffles are firm yet tender, with a balance of sweet and buttery flavors. The chocolate coating delivers a satisfying snap that contrasts with the soft interior, making them a practical no-bake dessert option.

Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter (76g), softened
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar (73g)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (125g), heat treated*
- pinch salt
- 1-2 teaspoons milk (as needed)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (85g)
- 12 oz chocolate 340g), like callebaut, Baker's or Ghirardelli, or use chocolate almond bark, high quality
Instructions
- Cookie Dough: In a mixing bowl beat together the butter, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of milk and vanilla. Stir in the heat treated* flour and salt, just until combined. Add another splash of milk, if need to make a softer cookie dough. Stir in mini chocolate chips.
- Roll into balls: Grease your hands with cooking spray then roll the dough into 20 small balls. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or freeze for 15 minutes.
- Melt Chocolate: When the dough is firm, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Dip: Drop a cookie dough ball into the melted chocolate and turn to coat. Lift it up onto the fork and allow excess chocolate to drip off through the tines of the fork. Place on parchment paper. Repeat with remaining dough balls. Refrigerate until chocolate is set.

Notes
- Heat-treat flour by microwaving in 15-second intervals until it reaches 160°F to ensure safety when eating cookie dough raw.
- Use high-quality chocolate bars that melt smoothly for dipping, rather than chocolate chips, for best coating results.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks to maintain freshness and texture.
- You can freeze the truffles in an airtight container for up to three months; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
