Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated for safety)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 10 oz semi-sweet or milk chocolate (for coating)
- Optional: sprinkles, sea salt, or extra mini chocolate chips for garnish
Directions
- Prepare the Flour (Optional for Safety):
- To make the raw flour safe to eat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake for 5–7 minutes. Let it cool completely before using.
- Make the Cookie Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and milk, and mix until combined.
- Add the Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually mix in the flour and salt until the dough comes together. Stir in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Form the Truffles:
- Scoop out small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all the dough is rolled, refrigerate the truffles for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet or milk chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Coat the Truffles:
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each cookie dough ball into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Garnish and Set:
- If desired, garnish the truffles with sprinkles, a pinch of sea salt, or extra mini chocolate chips before the chocolate sets. Refrigerate the truffles for another 20–30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
- Serve or Store:
- Once set, the cookie dough truffles are ready to enjoy! Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
