Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

When I first stumbled upon chocolate chip cookie dough truffles, I was instantly enchanted by the idea of enjoying safe-to-eat cookie dough coated in rich chocolate—no oven required. It felt like discovering a hidden treasure that turned dessert time into a fun adventure with bite-sized delights.

I remember the first time unexpected guests stopped by and I whipped these truffles up in no time—they disappeared faster than I could count, turning an ordinary night into a memorable treat share.

Ingredients

• Cookie Dough: Using heat-treated all-purpose flour guarantees safety when enjoying raw dough, and mini semi-sweet chocolate chips add just the right amount of chocolatey bursts
• Coating: Semi-sweet or milk chocolate chopped finely melts smoothly, and a little vegetable oil can help achieve a glossy finish if you like

Instructions

Get Everything Ready:

Start by creaming the butter and sugars until light and fluffy—watch as the texture turns creamy and the sweet aroma fills the kitchen.

Mix It Up:

Add milk and vanilla for depth of flavor, then gently stir in the heat-treated flour and salt to make sure the dough is safe yet tender.

Choc It Out:

Fold in mini chocolate chips carefully so the dough stays soft and studded with little chocolate jewels.

Scoop & Freeze:

Shape the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on parchment—pop them in the freezer until they’re firm to the touch, prepping them for the chocolate bath.

Melt & Dip:

Melt your chocolate with optional oil in short bursts, stirring until silky smooth. Use a fork to dip each dough ball, letting the excess drip off while imagining that perfect glossy shell.

Set & Enjoy:

Return the coated truffles to the tray, sprinkle optional toppings if desired, then chill in the fridge until fully set. Serve chilled or at room temperature for maximum delight.
