Chocolate chip cookie dough truffles

posted by Jamielyn on August 29, 2014

No-bake chocolate chip cookie dough truffles -these are perfect for a quick chocolate fix! I seriously love cookie dough, so these are great because there’s no egg in them, making them perfectly safe to eat. ;)

CookiedoughTruffles

I made these for a few friends last week and they were gone within minutes. These truffles only take about 10 minutes to whip up and then 30 minutes to freeze. Seriously the perfect treat for a little get together.

I topped these cookie dough truffles off with a little sea salt, chopped nuts and sprinkles and they were seriously divine.

Chocolate chip cookie dough truffles

Yield: 20

Prep Time: 15

Total Time: 45

Ingredients:

1/3 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup brown sugar
2-3 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 -1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 -3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, or melting wafers (for dipping)
Sea salt , chopped nuts, or sprinkles (optional)

Directions:

Line a baking sheet with wax paper. In a bowl mix together butter, sugar and vanilla. Then slowly mix in flour and mix just until combined. I like to start with 1/2 cup and add more, until it reaches the "cookie dough" consistency. Then stir in desired amount of milk chocolate chips. Make one inch balls with the dough and place on the pan. Freeze for about 15 to 30 minutes.
When the dough is firm, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave at 50% power. Then dip the cookie dough in the chocolate with a fork. Tap off an excess chocolate. Place back on wax paper and top with sea salt, nuts or sprinkles if desired. Place back in the freezer until chocolate has hardened.

Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Reader tip: Add 1/2 to 1 Tablespoon of milk to the cookie dough mixture if it becomes too crumbly.

1 TABLEspoon of vanilla seems like a huge amount. I know it says that on the BHG website, too… but, in your experience blogger baker opinion – what do you think?

  Hi Dianne! 1 Tb does seem like a lot, but in this recipe it makes up for the missing egg! Even with the 1 Tb of vanilla, these taste delicious! :)

I’ve always liked cookie dough better than cookies. Leaving out the egg was a great idea. Just don’t use packaged cookie dough as a short cut. It contains raw eggs and there have been salmonella outbreaks associated with eating it raw.

My 9 year old son loved making these with me. We used margarine instead for a less calorie option and added a little more vanilla to compensate. Total yum! It really is a kid friendly recipe. Thanks for the awesome idea.

Hi there! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.. I will be making these this weekend. One question, How do these taste with Dark chocolate instead of semi sweet? I was thinking about doing 1/2 and 1/2 of each. Thanks for your time :)

Do you use milk chocolate chips in the dough for a specific reason? I usually find that semi sweet taste better in my cookies but I don’t know if that only applies to baked dough!

I was very excited to make this recipie because it looked yummy & easy except when I got to the end, it was all very dry & not sticky. None of the dough stuck together, even when I added a little bit of water & milk. I went back to check to make sure I used all the right ingredients & amounts & I definitely did so I don’t know what went wrong. In other similar recipies I saw that they used apple sauce to replace some of the ingredients so maybe that’s what this one needed.

  Hi Alexis! I’m sorry these didn’t turn out for you. I would recommend adding less flour next time! :)

Thanks very much for the recipe. They turned out wonderful, only thing I would do is use mini chocolate chips next time I make them. I was told I have to save the recipe so my brother can make just the dough. (Maybe even make our own cookie dough ice cream ) :)

We measured ingredients exactly, but the dough is so crumbly the balls will not hold together. Do you know what we did wrong?

  Hi Tricia! I’m sorry these didn’t turn out well for you. You must have added too much flour. Everyone measures flour differently.

Hello ! Can you ad some alcohol?? Like rum ??
Ashley posted on February 9, 2015 at 1:51 am (#

I also found that the dough turned out dry and crumbly. I measured exactly and sifted the flour first, so I really don’t believe I added too much flour. In the end, they just turned out a bit chalky, even dipped in chocolate. I would add some milk next time to make it more of a cookie dough texture.

  Hi Marty. You shouldn’t be able to tell that the flour is uncooked.
Hjfrye posted on February 28, 2015 at 11:17 pm (#

I was so excited to make these! I also got the powder-y mixture that didn’t hold well (though I measured very carefully). I added 1TBS more butter and that helped a lot. Maybe melted butter vs softened would help? Question-when you say vanilla, do you mean vanilla extract? That’s what I used. My guests loved but I couldn’t eat them bc of the string vanilla flavor–sort if a win/lose. At least my guests liked them! Thanks for sharing, once I perfect it, it’ll be easy!

YUM! I just made these substituting almond flour for regular flour and coconut/low-carb sweetener mixed for the sugar, and they are DELICIOUS! Even without the chocolate coating I just ate the dough plain and they were so good! A bit too much butter, I think maybe I will decrease the amount a bit next time (could cream cheese be used for a healthier substitute, I wonder…) But SO GOOD! Thanks for sharing!

1c flour is WAY too much!! I don’t know what kind of measuring technique you used, but I had to add more butter, sugar and some milk to make them taste like anything but flour after the mixture was crumbly as all get out when I added the original ingredients. And still all I taste is flour! Very disappointing as I was looking for a quick, easy fix for my sweet-tooth!
And not to be rude, but your previous comments haven’t been very helpful on the same subject. Throwing away a whole stick of butter along with the rest of the ingredients wasn’t in my budget this month. Pinterest fail!

I made mine with Melt Organic (instead of butter- it is an alternative using a coconut oil blend), almond flour (I had to use about 1/4 cup more), organic cane sugar and dark chocolate chips and they came out phenomenal! Thank you for the idea! I just altered it to fit my ingredient choices :) And my kiddos loved making them as well! Will definitely come back for more recipes

HeY ..should we wait for the chocolate to come to normal temperature or just dip it in the hot chocolate ?
- Laura Capello posted on July 9, 2015 at 8:03 am (#
  52.1

  Hi Zoya! You want to dip the truffles while the chocolate is still warm. If you wait too long it will solidify and then if you try to reheat, the chocolate will seize and become a grainy, nearly unusable mess. If it does seize, add a little cream when reheating and it should be okay. Enjoy the truffles!

  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.

  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.
