Ingredients & Variations
FILLING Butter, flour, sugar, vanilla, and a handful of mini chocolate chips is the simple yet sweet and hard to resist interior of these truffles.
COATING Chocolate melts are used for the outer layer of these truffles. Once melted, dipped, and then refrigerated or frozen, these will become that pretty professional-looking shiny finish.
Melted chocolate chips will taste just as good, but will lose a little bit of shiny luster.
VARIATIONS Add some shredded coconut to the filling and instead of chocolate for the outer coating melt some Nutella or white chocolate and roll the cookie dough balls in that. Or try sprinkling the still soft melted chocolate with sprinkles, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or other fun toppings!
How to Make Cookie Dough Balls
It will be hard to wait for these to set in the freezer!
- Cream butter, vanilla, and sugar together.
- Mix in the remaining ingredients and roll into balls (per recipe below).
- Chill then dip into melted chocolate and freeze.
Once chilled in the freezer, enjoy! The chocolate hardens into the perfect shell to keep all that yummy cookie goodness inside!
Time Saving Tips
Make these in advance and freeze them. They will keep in the freezer for up to one year (if they aren’t devoured before then). Thaw them in the refrigerator.
Keep these truffles stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
