Step 1: Whip Up The Creamy Base
Combine butter and sugars in a mixing bowl, blending until super fluffy. Pour in milk and vanilla, mixing thoroughly. Gradually incorporate flour and salt, stirring until everything looks perfect. Gently fold in those delightful mini chocolate chips.
Step 2: Shape And Chill The Dough
Roll dough into adorable bite-sized balls. Place them carefully on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Pop the tray into the freezer and let them chill until firm and solid.
Step 3: Melt Chocolate Magic
Select a microwave-safe bowl for chocolate melting. Zap chocolate in short bursts, stirring between each interval until silky smooth. Optional: Add coconut oil for extra glossy shine.

- Total Time: 50 minutes
- Yield: 24 1x
Description
Indulgent cookie dough truffles bring pure chocolate bliss to sweet-craving hearts. Creamy chocolate-coated morsels deliver irresistible homemade comfort you’ll savor with pure delight.
Ingredients
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated, if desired)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Liquid and Flavor Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Coating and Garnish Ingredients:
- 2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (optional)
- Sprinkles
- White chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare a spacious mixing vessel and cream the butter with both granulated and brown sugars until the mixture transforms into a light, airy consistency.
- Incorporate milk and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly to create a smooth base.
- Gradually introduce flour and salt, stirring meticulously until ingredients meld seamlessly. Gently fold mini chocolate chips throughout the dough.
- Utilize a small scoop to form uniform spherical portions of cookie dough, positioning each delicately on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Transfer the tray to the freezer, allowing the dough balls to solidify for approximately 25 minutes, ensuring they maintain a firm structural integrity.
- Select a microwave-safe container and methodically melt chocolate chips, pausing between 30-second intervals to stir and prevent scorching. Optional: Integrate coconut oil to enhance chocolate’s glossy sheen.
- Employ a specialized dipping tool or fork to submerge each frozen dough ball completely in molten chocolate, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Delicately tap excess chocolate, returning each truffle to the parchment-lined surface with precision.
- While chocolate remains liquid, embellish with playful sprinkles or drizzle contrasting white chocolate for visual appeal.
- Allow truffles to stabilize at ambient temperature or expedite setting process by refrigerating, typically requiring 15-20 minutes.
- Serve chilled or at moderate room temperature for optimal flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Prevent Raw Flour Risks by toasting flour in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes to eliminate potential bacteria, ensuring safe consumption of raw cookie dough.
- Create Gluten-Free Variation by substituting regular flour with almond flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for those with dietary restrictions.
- Control Chocolate Coating Temperature by using a double boiler or keeping melted chocolate between 86-90°F for smooth, glossy finish without streaking or cracking.
- Store Truffles Strategically in an airtight container layered with parchment paper in the refrigerator for up to one week, maintaining texture and preventing sticking.
