Cookie Dough Truffles are bite sized and chocolate covered. Made with delicious, edible cookie dough, they are perfect for sharing!

We love creating bite sized, sharable holiday treats. When making cookies, we are almost always guilty of sampling the cookie dough. Since most cookie dough is made with raw eggs and flour, this isn’t always the best idea.

Cookie Dough Truffles are made with egg free, edible cookie dough. Simple chocolate covered bites of sugary goodness, these are perfectly safe and absolutely delicious!

Ingredients for Cookie Dough Truffles on a board.

What You’ll Need to Make Cookie Dough Truffles

  • Flour – We prefer to use all purpose flour for best results.

  • Butter – We use regular salted butter, but unsalted butter may also be used.

  • Brown Sugar – Packed. We use light brown sugar. You can also use dark brown sugar. The cookies will have a deeper, richer flavor.

  • Pantry Ingredients – Regular white granulated sugar, iodized salt and vanilla extract.

  • Milk – We use whole milk but skim milk or 2% milk may be used instead.

  • Mini Chocolate Chips – We recommend using mini chocolate chips for these truffles. We prefer semisweet chocolate to balance the sweetness of the dough.

  • Chocolate Melts – We use these to coat the cookie dough. They are similar to chocolate. They are melted and once they coat the cookie dough they harden so they are perfect for this recipe!

Notes

For raw flour concerns, the CDC says that you can “toast” the flour by spreading it out on a cookie sheet and cooking it for 5 minutes at 350 degrees F. This will kill off any potential bacteria that may exist and make the flour “safe”.
