How to make cookie dough truffles
It’s incredibly easy to make chocolate chip cookie dough truffles. It takes just a few minutes to whip up the dough and shape it into balls. Each truffle is coated in melted chocolate. This is the easiest indulgent treat you’ll ever make.
Step 1: Make the cookie dough
Making the cookie dough is simple. Mix the butter with both sugars until well combined.
Mix in the vanilla and salt followed by the flour. Make sure you heat treat the flour first!
Stir in the chocolate chips of your choice.
Step 2: Shape the cookie dough
Scoop the dough out into 1 tablespoon-sized portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
Place the cookie dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate them for 20-30 minutes until they are firm.
Step 3: Coat in chocolate
Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of barely simmering water. Stir the chocolate constantly until it is completely melted and smooth.
Dip one cookie dough ball at a time in the chocolate using a candy dipper or the tines of a fork. Tap off the excess chocolate and place the balls back on the baking sheet.
Place the chocolate-coated cookie dough balls back into the refrigerator until the chocolate is set. This may take about 10 minutes.

I only have a regular hand mixer (no paddle blades). Can I use that or would you recommend just kneading the dough by hand instead?
The regular hand mixer will work just fine.
Hi, Jen! I was wondering if you use heat – treated flour for these? I’ve heard that you need to heat treat flour before eating it raw as it’s not processed in a way that’s safe to eat without cooking it, but I’ve never tried to make anything to eat raw before. They look scrumptious!
