Chocolate chip cookie dough truffles are sweet, small rolled balls of chocolate chip cookie dough covered with melted chocolate. These truffles are mouthwatering desserts that aren't too hard to prepare.

• Makes: Up to 33 servings

EditIngredients

• ½ cup butter, softened
• ½ cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• ½ cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
• 1½ pounds dark chocolate candy coating, coarsely chopped
• ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

EditSteps

1. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   
2. Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
   
3. Pour in the vanilla extract.
4. Fold in the flour and add the milk. Blend on low speed until the cookie dough holds together and there are no flour streaks.
   
5. Add in the chocolate chips and walnuts if desired.
   
6. Form the balls. Grab a piece of the cookie dough and shape it into a 1 inch ball. Place it on the baking sheet. Repeat until there is no more cookie dough.
   
7. Let the cookie dough balls chill for about 1-2 hours until they are firm.
   
8. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate candy coating. Every thirty seconds, mix the chocolate with a spoon to prevent it from scorching. Repeat until the chocolate fully melts and is smooth.
   
9. Allow the melted chocolate to cool for about 5 minutes.
   
10. Dip the cookie balls into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Drop the cookie dough balls into the bowl and roll it around with a spoon. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off from the truffles.
11. Place the truffles on the baking sheet.
    
12. Chill the truffles for about 15 minutes, until the chocolate hardens and the truffles are firm.
    
13. Serve. Remove the truffles from the fridge and place them on a serving plate. Serve with a glass of milk if desired. Enjoy!
    

EditTips

• For a sweeter taste, you can dip extra melted chocolate over the truffles and allow them to chill again.
• Drizzle melted white chocolate over the truffles for a twist to the truffles.
• Switch the chocolate chips to peanut butter chips for a nutty taste.
• For a sweeter flavor, add a teaspoon of maple flavoring into the cookie dough.
• If the cookie dough is too dry, add an extra two tablespoons of milk.

EditWarnings

• Take caution not to scorch the chocolate. Stir it every thirty seconds to avoid it from scorching or burning.
• Ensure the truffles are given enough time to chill or the chocolate will crack.
