Chocolate Chip Cookie Truffles

Indulgent, bite-sized treats that combine the nostalgic flavor of cookie dough with a glossy chocolate shell.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk (any kind)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 1 and 1/4 cups heat-treated all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil or coconut oil
  • Optional for garnish: flaky sea salt and/or chocolate sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a large bowl using a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add the milk and vanilla extract; beat on high speed until combined.
  3. Incorporate the heat-treated flour and salt; beat on medium speed until fully combined. Gradually mix in the mini chocolate chips.
  4. Roll the dough into balls, about 1 tablespoon of dough for each ball, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. Melt the chocolate with the oil in a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
  6. Submerge each chilled dough ball in the melted chocolate, tap off excess chocolate.
  7. Place the coated truffles on a lined plate or baking sheet, sprinkle with flaky sea salt or chocolate sprinkles if desired.
  8. Refrigerate the coated truffles for at least 20 minutes to set the chocolate.
