Ingredients
Scale
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.
