Irresistible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles You Have to Try

Learn how to make delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated for safety; see tip below)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk (or almond milk for dairy-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped or chips (for coating)
  • Optional: pinch of salt to balance sweetness

If you’re looking to switch things up, feel free to swap the all-purpose flour for oat flour or almond flour, but just know this might change the texture a bit—still delicious, just a little different. For the chocolate coating, you can use dark chocolate if you want a more intense flavor, or even white chocolate for a sweeter finish. I love how flexible this recipe is; it’s a great starting point to make your own!

Instructions

  1. Heat-treat your flour: This is a crucial safety step since we’re not baking the cookie dough. Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes. Let it cool completely before using.
  2. Mix the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or wooden spoon to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy—about 3-4 minutes. This step reminds me of those times standing next to my dad, stirring pots, just waiting for the magic to happen.
  3. Add milk and vanilla: Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is smooth and combined. The texture should be creamy and sweet at this point.
  4. Incorporate the flour: Gradually add in your heat-treated flour and a pinch of salt if using, stirring thoroughly to form a cookie dough-like consistency. It should be soft but not sticky.
  5. Fold in mini chocolate chips: Stir in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough. This is the part where I always sneak a few extra chips for myself—don’t judge!
  6. Chill the dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This firms up the dough and makes it easier to roll.
  7. Form truffles: Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out dough and roll into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Melt the chocolate coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
  9. Dip and coat: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each dough ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off, then place back on the parchment paper.
  10. Chill and set: Refrigerate the truffles for at least 1 hour until the chocolate shell hardens. This is a good time to clean up the messy counters and maybe sneak a quick taste.
