Ingredients Needed: 

This is a quick overview of the ingredients you’ll need for this cookie dough truffles recipe. Specific measurements and full recipe instructions are in the printable recipe card below.

• All Purpose Flour – bake the flour in the oven to remove any risk of bacteria
• Unsalted Butter – softened to mix easily with the ingredients, and it adds a nice buttery flavor and helps everything stay together
• Brown Sugar and Granulated Sugar – to sweeten the cookie dough and give it the taste of actual cookie dough
• Vanilla Extract – for flavor
• Milk – to hold the cookie dough together without the eggs, you could substitute half and half or heavy cream if desired
• Salt – to balance out the sweetness
• Mini Chocolate Chips – to fill the cookie dough with the perfect amount of chocolate

How to make Cookie Dough Truffles?

1. Bake the flour. Spread the flour onto a large rimmed cookie sheet and bake it for about 5 minutes, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Set it aside too cool slightly.
2. Cream the butter and sugars in a large bowl and stir them together for a couple minutes until light and fluffy. 
3. Add in the vanilla and milk and stir until combined.
4. Add in the dry ingredients. Then add in the flour, and salt and stir it together until you have a nice cookie dough texture. Add a little more flour if it’s too wet, or a little more milk if it’s too crumbly. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
5. Roll the balls. Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls, and roll them into smooth balls. Place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and place the pan in the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes.
6. Melt the chocolate. Add chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, stirring as much as you can. Then microwave in additional 20 second increments until the chocolate is totally melted and can be stirred smooth.
7. Dip in the chocolate. Drop a cookie dough ball into the melted chocolate with a fork, and cover it completely in the chocolate. Lift it out with the fork, and tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove the excess chocolate. Transfer the balls back to the parchment paper. Then repeat with the additional cookie dough balls. 
8. Decorate and set. Top the balls with sprinkles, or extra drizzles of chocolate, then let the balls sit until the chocolate is set. This will take a few hours, or place the pan in the fridge for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. 

Tips and Tricks:

• Use a cookie scoop to portion out the cookie dough into even sizes. Then roll them into smooth balls with your hands.
• Use mini chocolate chips to spread them more evenly throughout the cookie dough balls. 
• Different chocolate. You can dip the cookie dough truffles in your choice of chocolate, white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chips, or milk chocolate chips will work.
• Toppings. Top the truffles with your choice of toppings. Some of my favorites are a little sea salt, crushed nuts, or sprinkles.

How to store truffles?

Store the truffles in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week. The truffles can also be frozen in an airtight container, or freezer safe bag for up to 3 months.

Cookie Dough Balls FAQ:

Is it safe to eat raw cookie dough?

While I recommend using our homemade dough for the best flavor, you can use store bought cookie dough if you find one that says Safe to Eat or Bake
