Description

Delightfully rich and sweet, these Cookie Dough Truffles combine creamy cookie dough bites coated in smooth melting chocolate for an irresistible treat perfect for any occasion. With a no-bake recipe that is simple to prepare, these truffles feature a classic cookie dough base with mini chocolate chips, optionally mixed with walnuts, and are dipped in luscious almond bark chocolate for a decadent finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Coating and Decoration

  • Chocolate Almond Bark or melting chocolate, for dipping
  • White Almond Bark or melting chocolate (optional, for drizzling)
  • Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and packed brown sugar together until the mixture is fluffy and well combined. Then, beat in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
  2. Add Flour and Condensed Milk: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the butter-sugar mixture, alternating with the sweetened condensed milk to form a smooth cookie dough batter. Stir until fully combined.
  3. Incorporate Chocolate Chips and Walnuts: Fold in the mini chocolate chips and, if using, the chopped walnuts evenly throughout the dough.
  4. Chill the Dough: Transfer the cookie dough to a smaller bowl and place it in the freezer for about 1 hour to firm up the dough for easier shaping.
  5. Form Dough Balls: Remove the chilled dough from the freezer and use your hands or a scoop to form small balls. Place these on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper, then return the sheet to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes to further firm the balls.
  6. Melt Almond Bark: Melt the chocolate almond bark or melting chocolate in the microwave in short intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and ready for dipping.
  7. Dip the Dough Balls: Remove 5-6 dough balls from the freezer at a time and dip each thoroughly into the melted chocolate. Place the dipped truffles back onto the wax paper-lined sheet.
  8. Add Decorations: Immediately add sprinkles to the coated truffles or, alternatively, drizzle with melted white almond bark or chocolate to add an elegant finishing touch.
  9. Repeat Dipping: Continue dipping and decorating all remaining dough balls until complete.
  10. Store and Serve: Store the finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For the best texture and flavor, allow them to warm slightly before serving.

Notes

  • These truffles are perfect for gift giving or enjoying at home during special occasions.
  • To ensure food safety, you can heat-treat the flour before adding it to the mixture by microwaving or baking it at low temperature.
  • Walnuts can be omitted to make the recipe nut-free if desired.
  • Store truffles refrigerated and consume within one week for optimal freshness.
