Ingredients
Cookie Dough Filling:
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Chocolate Coating:
- 15 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers (e.g., Ghirardelli brand)
- 4 ounces milk chocolate melting wafers (e.g., Ghirardelli brand)
Instructions
- Prepare the Flour: To ensure the cookie dough is safe for consumption, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5–7 minutes to kill any bacteria. Allow the flour to cool completely.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: Mix in the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and salt until well combined. Occasionally, use a spatula to clean the sides of the bowl.
- Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Slowly incorporate the cooled flour into the wet ingredients, stirring until a smooth dough begins to come together.
- Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
- Shape the Truffles: Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop portions of the dough and roll them into bite-sized balls. Arrange the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill for at least 30 minutes or until they have set.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second bursts, stirring after each interval until fully melted and smooth. Do the same with the milk chocolate wafers in another bowl.
- Coat the Truffles: Dip each chilled cookie dough ball into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Use a fork to lift the truffle out and let the excess chocolate drip off. Place it back on the parchment-lined sheet. Drizzle the milk chocolate over the truffles for a decorative touch.
- Set the Coating: Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for faster results.
- Serve and Enjoy: Place the truffles onto a serving dish or into a sealed container. Keep them refrigerated for up to seven days.
