Last weekend a friend I decided to neglect our school work and go for a hike in the snow followed by dinner and a movie at my house. I had all the ingredients on hand for some tasty Corn and Cheese Chowder which was perfect way to warm up after a cold hike. My friend said she’d be in charge of bringing ingredients for us to make dessert and I was so excited to see that she’d picked out these truffles!
Eating the cookie dough is usually one of the best parts of making cookies, but then you feel bad because you’re supposed to be making cookies- not snacking on the dough! These cute little truffles taste just like cookie dough and since they don’t have any eggs, they’re totally safe to eat. These can be decorated in all sorts of creative ways and they’ll look like a suitable ‘grown up’ dessert, even though you’re eating cookie dough!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup miniature chocolate chips
- Chocolate bark for melting (milk, semi-sweet, dark, or white chocolate)
- Chocolate chips, sprinkles, etc for decoration (optional)
- Use an electric mixer to cream the butter and brown sugar , add the vanilla. Slowly add in the flour and mix until incorporated. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and beat until thoroughly combined, then miniature chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour or until the dough is very firm (don’t freeze). Use a small cookie scoop to make tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet.
- Melt the chocolate bark in a glass bowl. Dip the chilled cookie dough balls into the chocolate and scoop them out with a fork to allow the extra chocolate to drip off. Place on the waxed paper and decorate with extra chocolate, sprinkles, etc.
- Serve at room temperature or chilled
Makes: 3-4 dozen
These look so delicious. – and just in time for Christmas.
Thanks Bets!
Wow! They look fantastic!
These look delicious!! They’d be very dangerous if I made them. I have a feeling I’d eat them all in one sitting!
Yes, that’s definitely a big risk!
This is a very cute idea. I like it!
I have several friends who seem like they would prefer a gift of cookie dough to actual cookies, so these would definitely be a hit.
They look yummy…I’ll try this recipe this weekend with my daughter
wow they look soo cute …
Yummy and so pretty too. Will definitely give these a try.
Beautiful, definitely want to add these to my holiday season list of treats
You are so right about cookie dough being the best part of making cookies! I think I will make these for our Christmas party this year.
Interesting, I have never tasted cookie dough as a truffle!
Must eat…yummmmmm! Thanks for sharing!
I am going to be completely honest with you …
I am going to make these and when I get the MMMM’s and OMG’s, I am going to take full credit for the recipe. I MAY pop back and pass on the wonderful things people said about “MY” dessert.
I WILL’ however; hold you personally responsible for the number I eat while making them and in transport to wherever I am taking them.
… I just thought it was only fair to let you know

I suppose that’s fair
Making anything in ‘mini’ form where I can eat it in a bite or two significantly ups the risk of me snacking on FAR too many, so you’ve been warned!
You’ve got to be kidding me… these look delicious! I would make them, but might end up eating them all myself before anyone else knows they were ever created! Great post, looks great!

I am really hungry… :3
Beautiful. I would love to make these, but I need a non-dairy substitute for the condensed milk. Soy milk is not very thick – I don’t think it would work.

I just found you via StumbleUpon and what a great post to land on. Yum!!! Your new fan!!!
nice
oh my goodness! i have never seen anything more delicious looking in my life!!! can’t wait to try these!
I thought uncooked flour is really dificult for the body to digest. Could it cost any stomacache?
Hm, I haven’t heard that before. I tend to be prone to stomach-aches, and I didn’t have any issues with these. But, I also like to eat lots of regular cookie dough too and it’s never caused problems for me either.
These look adorable…and I will probably eat an entire batch later this afternoon
they look so cute.. and yummy.. =)
Oh yes! I love recipes that make it acceptable to eat cookie dough!
They look great! I can’t wait to try it!
My children are going to LOVE this!!!!
They look so delicious, can’t wait to have a go!
I’ve seen this somewhere else too! But I feel like your dough wouldn’t be as sticky.
These look amazing! What is chocolate bark, though? Do you think semisweet chocolate chips would be an okay substitute?
Chocolate bark is a type of chocolate that’s used a lot for making candy and coating it. The bark is usually in the baking aisle at the grocery near the rest of the chocolate, but regular chocolate chips will work just fine too!
I make these too! But I cheat by buying a package of cookies, gridning them up in the food processor, and adding a package of cream cheese.
I’ve seen recipes for that before where they used Oreos, it sounds great, I’ll have to give it a try sometime!
These look so awesome! I can’t wait to try them!
oh yummy!!!
Oh YUM. my little sister is ggoing to love these. Whoever came up with the idea, is a freaking genius! I cannot wait to try this recipe out!
These are great– I’ll bet they’ll be all the rage when I make them for friends here in Spain!
These look prefect for Christmas treats. Yum!
These look fantastic! I think I’ll have a go at making tonight. It might persuade the Mrs to let me watch the football. Thanks!
These look amaaaaaazing!
It looks so yummy and easy!

These look brilliant! I’m heading down to see if we have the ingredients now!
My mouth is watering. I don’t make sweets that often, but I will be making these!
I love bite size desserts! These look delicious. Using a red drizzle or green drizzle of chocolate over the top would make them perfect for Christmas. Thanks for sharing.

i tried this and i had a lot of trouble melting the chocolate. and they didn’t really taste like cookie dough. i think i messed them up
I’m sorry they didn’t work for you! Chocolate can be a little tricky to melt, if you’re doing it in the microwave just do it on short (10-15 second) bursts and stir it in between to make sure it doesn’t burn.
They look beautiful! The only thing is that actually I’m studying cooking and when you don’t bake the flour, it is not able to be digest, hence people will feel a lot of heaviness after having these beauties.. I hope we can find a way to avoid the flour.
Yep, you’re right, they are made with raw flour- just like cookie dough! I think if you substitute out the flour your end result won’t taste much like cookie dough, but you could certainly give it a try
So I just made them and found that the receipt makes enough cookie dough to feed the whole of England!
When making the truffles I had to realize that although I am a very sweet tooth, I could not eat more than 3 of them. But those 3where magnificent…..just…..DELICIOUS!!! I recommend making only half the dough and making very very small truffles; one simply cannot eat huge lumps of the dough without getting sick. Also, I made them with white and milk chocolate coverings and would recommend to try a dark chocolate one, because the bitterness of dark chocolate would go nice with the extreme sweetness of the cookie dough.
Also, I found it difficult when I dipped the dough balls into the hot chocolate that the balls would get very runny and lost their shape, but when I just spread some of the melted chocolate on aluminium foil and rolled the balls over the chocolate, it became easier to maintain their shape.
All in all am I in love with this and definitely plan to do it again and start experimenting with the dough and chocolate.
Thanks for sharing,

Cookie dough is my most favorite thing in the world…I wish I could have some of these right now!
Thank you for this recipe! i just made them for when visiting a longtime family friend and their kids, i tempered the dark chocolate in warm cream, to make the dark chocolate a little sweeter because the kids aren’t that fond of dark chocolate! – this is great! – keep baking! – i am including your recipe link in my blog.
I’m so glad you and your friends enjoyed the recipe! That’s a great idea to temper the dark chocolate to adapt it for the kids!
