    ⭐Why This Recipe Works

    • Truffles are a rich treat, and chocolate chip cookie dough is a classic flavor. Combining the two creates a delicious dessert.
    • Truffles are bite-sized treats that are great for portion control.
    • This is only two ingredients and it's so easy to make. Don't you just love homemade candy recipes?


    🥣Ingredient Notes

    • Refrigerated cookie dough - make sure this is edible raw and does not need to be cooked.
    • Milk chocolate bars - I used bars with almonds because I like the nutty flavor, but plain milk chocolate would be great as well.


    📋Step by Step Instructions

    STEP 1: Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Scoop out dough and form into balls. You should get around 24 balls (1 ¼ - 1 ½ inch each).

    STEP 2: Place the cookie dough balls on the baking sheet.

    STEP 3: Refrigerate cookie dough balls for 20 minutes or until they have firmed up.

    STEP 4: Break the chocolate bar into smaller pieces, place in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it in the microwave on high for 60 seconds. Then stir and return to microwave for 10-second increments until the chocolate has melted.

    STEP 5: Using a fork, roll and dip cookie balls into the melted chocolate and shake off any excess chocolate. Place the chocolate-covered balls on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

    STEP 6: Refrigerate for 20 minutes until the chocolate has set.

    STEP 7: If you wish, you can add a drizzle of melted chocolate to the top. You'll have to re-melt the chocolate to do this. If you do this, pop the truffles back into the refrigerator for another 15 minutes so the candy coating drizzle can harden.

    Store the chocolate chip cookie dough truffles in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve them.

    The cookie dough just melts in your mouth. No one will believe how easy these were to make thanks to edible cookie dough. They will be begging you for your chocolate chip cookie dough recipe.

    👩🏻‍🍳Expert Tips

    Tip 1: You can use an equal amount of dark chocolate or chocolate chips in place of the chocolate bar.

    Tip 2: Semisweet chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips work well for the chocolate coating as well.


    🤷🏻‍♀️Recipe FAQs

    How do you store cookie dough truffles?

    Store the chocolate chip cookie dough truffles in the refrigerator in an airtight container until you are ready to serve them.

    How long will the truffles last in the fridge?

    You can keep the truffles in the refrigerator for up to 1 day or freeze them for 2 weeks. When you want to serve the frozen truffles, allow them to thaw in the refrigerator.
