Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s everything you need to make these irresistible truffles:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened – Gives the dough a rich, creamy texture.
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed – Adds depth and a slight molasses flavor.
- ¼ cup granulated sugar – Balances the sweetness.
- 2 tsp vanilla extract – Essential for that classic cookie dough taste.
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour, heat-treated – Make it safe to eat raw.
- ¼ tsp salt – Enhances all the flavors.
- 1 tbsp milk (if needed) – Helps bind the dough if crumbly.
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips – For that perfect cookie dough bite.
- 1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips – For the outer coating.
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional) – For smooth, glossy chocolate.
Step-By-Step Directions
1. Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the vanilla extract. This creates the base for your creamy cookie dough.
2. Add the Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the heat-treated flour and salt, mixing until the dough comes together.
If the dough is crumbly, mix in 1 tablespoon of milk to help it bind.
Pro Tip:
To heat-treat flour, spread it on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes, then let it cool completely.
3. Fold in the Mini Chocolate Chips
Gently stir the mini chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed.
Scoop small amounts of dough and roll into bite-sized balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Freeze for 15–20 minutes to firm up before dipping in chocolate.
4. Melt the Chocolate Coating
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips with coconut oil or shortening in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Alternatively, use a double boiler for better control.
5. Dip the Truffles
Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate.
Let excess chocolate drip off before placing them back on the parchment paper.
Optional: Sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips or sprinkles on top while wet.
6. Set and Serve
Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature or speed up the process in the fridge.
Once set, your Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles are ready to enjoy!
