Ingredients
For the cookie dough:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated to make it safe to eat)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk (adjust based on the dough consistency)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
For the chocolate coating:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil (optional, for smooth coating)
For topping (optional):
- Mini chocolate chips
- Colorful sprinkles
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and light in texture.
- Add the vanilla extract and milk, then mix until fully combined.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour and stir until you have a smooth dough. If the dough is too thick, you can add more milk to reach the desired consistency.
- Stir in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 2: Shape the Truffles
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the cookie dough and roll them into balls using your hands.
- Place the dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill the dough balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Coating
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with coconut oil or vegetable oil (if using) in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and completely melted.
- Once the dough balls have chilled, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, fully coating it. Place the chocolate-dipped truffles back onto the parchment paper.
Step 4: Add Toppings
- While the chocolate coating is still soft, sprinkle the truffles with extra mini chocolate chips or colorful sprinkles for a fun touch.
- Allow the truffles to cool and set in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened completely.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Once the chocolate coating is firm, your Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles are ready to serve!
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for later enjoyment.
Pro Tips
- For an extra flavor kick, add a teaspoon of sea salt to the dough or chocolate coating.
- You can use milk chocolate or white chocolate for a different flavor profile.
- If you’re feeling creative, dip the truffles in a mix of crushed nuts, graham cracker crumbs, or even toasted coconut flakes.
