Cookie dough truffles
I made these chocolate chip cookie dough truffles for a few friends last week and they were gone within minutes! The cookie dough balls only take about 10 minutes to whip up and then 30 minutes to freeze. They make the perfect mini treat for a get together.
I topped the cookie dough truffles off with a little sea salt, chopped nuts and sprinkles. They were seriously divine and the perfect chocolate fix! I just love cookie dough, so these truffles are great because there’s no egg in them, making them perfectly safe to eat. ;)
Place the cookie balls in the freezer for whenever you need a little late night snack. These chocolate chip cookie dough truffles will definitely be made again. Easy and delicious… can’t beat that!
How to make cookie dough truffles
These chocolate chip cookie dough truffles couldn’t be easier to make! And they’re quick too, which is an extra plus. Scroll down for the printable cookie dough truffle recipe and video tutorial.
Step 1: Prepare the dough
In a bowl, mix together butter, sugar and vanilla. Then slowly mix in flour just until combined. I like to start with about 1/2 cup, then add a little more in increments until the texture reaches the “cookie dough” consistency. Then stir in desired amount of chocolate chips.
Step 2: Roll into balls and freeze
Form cookie dough into 1-inch balls and place on a wax paper lined baking sheet. Place pan in freezer to harden for about 15-30 minutes.
Step 3: Melt the chocolate
When the cookie dough balls are firm, melt the chocolate in the microwave at 50% power until smooth.
Step 4: Dip cookie dough balls in chocolate
Using a fork, dip the cookie dough balls into the melted chocolate. Tap the fork against the bowl to remove any excess chocolate. Place back on wax paper and sprinkle on desired toppings immediately (before the chocolate hardens).
Step 5: Freeze and serve!
Place truffles back in the freezer until chocolate has hardened completely. Then place them on a plate or cake stand to serve. Enjoy!

Do you cook your flour before mixing it in? I’ve read that bacteria can reside in raw flour.
Hi Jessica! I don’t cook it beforehand, but if you are worried about that you definitely can. You just pour the flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes! It might change the flavor a little bit.
I made these for an after school treat for the kids….I ate 6 before they even got off the school bus, they are delicious!! Love that you can freeze them as I have no self control!
Thank you for a great recipe :D
I’m so glad they were a hit! Thanks for your comment and review! :)
I adore these! They’re such a perfect snack size, I can’t resist them!
I’m so happy you love them! :)
LOVE these cookie dough bites! So yummy dipped in chocolate!
I made these yesterday. Definitely make a double batch! I am wondering if you have any hints on dipping them, mine was pretty messy and didn’t look nearly as pretty as yours!
I like to use chocolate melting wafers (such as the ghiradeli ones), it makes them smooth. Also, I like to use a fork and tap them on the edge to smooth out the chocolate.
They were great………will keep this recipe
I used 3/4 cup flour. 1/3 cup butter plus a few shavings and 2t.vanilla. You could even use a teaspoon and a half. I also used semi chips for balls and dipping. Milk choc ones too mild
Can I freeze these after making them?
I think freezing these would work out! Just keep a close eye on any ice crystals developing on the chocolate, because that could ruin the flavor and texture.
These look absolutely heavenly!! Think i might make these for our Halloween party coming up! Thanks so much for sharing!
How long do these last?
In a covered container, at least three days! Longer if you put them in the fridge. :)
