Cookie Dough Truffles
What's better than cookie dough?? Cookie dough dunked in chocolate! Yes, please!
Servings: 72 truffles
Calories: 92kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup corn syrup
- 2 1/4 cups flour (heat-treated) see notes below
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts optional
- Coating Chocolate
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl (stand mixer works best), mix the butter, brown sugar and white sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla and corn syrup and stir until smooth.
- Next, add the flour and salt and mix until combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts.
- Roll the dough into 1" balls and set on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet.
- Melt the coating chocolate (almond bark) in the microwave on a low power setting, stirring often. (If you overheat the chocolate, it won't be as smooth and shiny once it's on the truffles).
- Dip each truffle into the chocolate and return it to the waxed paper to harden. (Add sprinkles here if you'd like!)
- Once the truffles have a firm chocolate shell, place them in an air-tight container and refrigerate until serving.
Notes
How to Heat Treat Flour
- Spoon the flour onto a microwave-safe bowl or plate.
- Microwave on high for about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds.
- The flour will be warm (needs to be 160F+) and therefore any bacteria present will be no more!
- Let cool (place on a cold plate to speed the process up) before adding to the recipe.
