How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles: Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Heat-Treat the Flour

To make the flour safe to eat, microwave it in a heat-safe bowl for 1 minute and 15 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds to prevent burning. Let it cool before using.

2. Make the Dough

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy—about 2–3 minutes. Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Slowly add the cooled, heat-treated flour and salt. Mix just until a dough forms.

3. Fold in the Chocolate Chips

Stir in the mini semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

4. Scoop and Roll

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough and roll it into smooth balls using your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

5. Chill

Refrigerate the rolled dough balls for at least 30 minutes. This helps them firm up so they don’t fall apart when dipped in chocolate.

6. Melt the Chocolate

Place your coating chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. If using chocolate chips, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to thin it out.

7. Dip the Truffles

Use a fork or dipping tool to dip each chilled dough ball into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Place back on the parchment-lined tray.

8. Chill Again

Once all the truffles are coated, chill them for another 15–20 minutes until the chocolate is set.

Serving and Decoration Ideas

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles are incredibly versatile when it comes to presentation. Here are a few simple ways to serve and decorate:

• Drizzle Extra Chocolate: After coating, use a fork to drizzle white or dark chocolate across the tops.
• Add Sprinkles: While the coating is still wet, add sprinkles or crushed nuts for a pop of texture.
• Gift It: Place truffles in mini paper cups and box them for birthdays, holidays, or thank-you gifts.
• Serve Cold: These are best served chilled to keep the coating firm and the center creamy.

Storing Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
• Freezer: Freeze for up to 3 months. Just thaw in the fridge before serving.
• Room Temp: Not ideal. These truffles hold best when kept cold, especially in warm weather.

Tips and Tricks for Success

• Heat-Treat the Flour Properly: Don’t skip this—uncooked flour isn’t safe to eat raw.
• Use Soft Butter: Let the butter sit at room temperature. Cold butter won’t mix evenly.
• Mini Chips Work Best: They keep the dough balanced and easier to roll.
• Work in Batches: Keep half the dough chilled while dipping the other half.
• Use a Fork for Dipping: It gives you better control and less mess.
