Create rich, bite-sized chocolate chip cookie dough truffles that are completely safe to eat. This no-bake recipe uses heat-treated flour, resulting in fudgy, indulgent treats coated in smooth chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Heat-treat the flour: Spread the flour on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 to 7 minutes until it reaches 160°F (71°C) internally. Let it cool completely before using.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cooled, heat-treated flour and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Beat in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a thick dough forms.
  6. Stir in the mini chocolate chips by hand.
  7. Roll the cookie dough into small, uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Chill the dough balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until firm. This prevents them from falling apart during dipping.
  9. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  10. Dip each chilled dough ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined sheet.
  11. Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature, or speed up the process by chilling them for 10 minutes.

Notes

  • To heat-treat flour safely, use a food thermometer to confirm the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  • For a glossy finish on the chocolate coating, add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to the melted chocolate.
  • Store these homemade candy recipe treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
