CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH TRUFFLES
People are really freaked out about eating raw cookie dough because they are afraid they are going to get sick from the raw eggs. I haven’t exactly let that fear stop me from shoving cookie dough into my mouth.
It is very important to heat treat your flour. Instructions are below.
I have had other cookie dough truffles and although they were good, the texture and taste didn’t match that of the real thing. Well these do…
HOW TO HEAT TREAT FLOUR
Flour should be treated before eating raw. Here’s how you do it. Microwave flour on high in a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds. Stir and cook again at 15 second intervals until it reads 160 degrees F on an instant read thermometer. Allow to cool before using.
INSTRUCTIONS
-
In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugars, and vanilla in a mixing bowl and cream on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the flour and salt until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips.
-
Shape the chilled cookie dough mixture into 1 inch balls. Place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Cover loosely, transfer the pan to the freezer and chill for 15 minutes.
-
When ready to dip the truffles, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. You can also melt them in the microwave, heating in 30 second intervals stirring in between. If you need it thinner, add a bit of oil or butter. Dip each chilled truffle, one at a time using a fork, coating in chocolate and shaking gently or tapping against the bowl to remove the excess. Transfer to a wax-paper lined surface. If using mini chocolate chips for garnish, sprinkle on top quickly after dipping each truffle before the chocolate sets.
-
Once all the truffles have been dipped, store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve. I like to eat them closer to room temperature so that they are softer.

My daughter and I made these today, and they are delish! We separated some of the dough and made a little batch with no chocolate chips and a little batch we added cocoa powder to make chocolate chocolate chip truffles. Thank you for this recipe as it is so easy, tastes wonderful, and cures our cravings for sweets without having to heat up the kitchen!
You’re welcome!
You should have in the recipe to cook the flour. You are not suppose to eat raw flour. These look quite yummy by the way. I will be making these!
Yes, it’s personal choice. I’ve never gotten sick from eating cookie dough but if you do you may not want to make these.
OH MY GOD! Thank you so much! I tried them and they are PHENOMENAL!! I’m sure everyone at my potluck will enjoy them!
I love hearing that!
Please bake the flour in the oven before adding it to the recipe!! it can be very dangerous to eat raw flour 🙁
Thanks Anna. I didn’t know this. I looked it up and it says to bake it at 350 degrees for 5 min to kill the bacteria.
Fab!!! Loved making them and tasted yummy 🙂
@saras,
Shoot! I’ve never had this happen!
Hi! I have not tried your recipe, though I have done some very similar. I just had a question about the chocolate part. 🙂 Whenever I make these they look really pretty, but as the chocolate hardens, it starts to crack. Sometimes like the cookie dough is trying to escape the chocolate! Any idea how to fix that?
Chocolate frosting? maybe marshmallows can help
@IHayat,
Yes, these are sweet. I’m not sure of a substitute for sweetened condensed milk. Maybe just use less of it?
hi i tried making them last night. looks great but they are very very sweet. is there any substitute for the condensed milk?
I’m soooo making these today! They look great 🙂
oh man!! theses look SO good! I used to eat raw cookie dough all of the time, until I had kids – and I have to admit that I’m a little worried about the raw eggs – I am SO making these.
I’d love for you to come link this up in my Valentine Treat link uP!!! Susie http://cafescrapper-scrapsoflife.blogspot.com/2011/02/valentine-treats-and-crafts-link-up.html

I so can’t wait to make these! You did an awesome job! Isn’t Annie’s Eats one of the best blogs ever? I live on her blog. But after I saw those peanut butter cupcakes I might just start lving at your too 🙂
I just printed out this recipe for the next time I bring sweets to a party. What I especially love are the itsy bitsy chocolate chips on top…that just makes it! By the way, found my way here from Somewhat Simple!
