Ingredients:
For the Cookie Dough Filling:
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated for safety)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (or dark chocolate), chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for a smoother coating)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the heat-treated flour and salt, stirring until the dough forms.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Shape the Truffles:
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
- Place the cookie dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Once shaped, refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and coconut oil (if using).
- Heat in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.
- Coat the Truffles:
- Remove the chilled cookie dough balls from the refrigerator.
- Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Use a fork to lift the truffle out, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill and Serve:
- Once all the truffles are coated, refrigerate them for an additional 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy!
