Cookie Dough Truffles
Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite dessert in the world. And because I love them so much, I love to make fun variations like these cookie dough truffles, chocolate chip cookie bars, a cookie pizza and chocolate chip cookie pie. Yum!
I made these chocolate chip cookie dough truffles for a few friends last week and they were gone within minutes! They only take about 10 minutes to whip up and then 30 minutes to freeze. They make the perfect mini treat for a get together.
I topped them off with a little sea salt, chopped nuts and sprinkles. They were seriously divine and the perfect chocolate fix! I just love cookie dough, so these truffles are great because there’s no egg in them, making them perfectly safe to eat. Just like edible cookie dough. ;)
Place them in the freezer for whenever you need a little late night snack. These will definitely be made again. Easy and delicious… can’t beat that!
How to Make Cookie Dough Truffles
Scroll down for the printable recipe and video tutorial.
Step 1: Prepare the dough
In a bowl, mix together butter, sugar and vanilla. Then slowly mix in flour just until combined. I like to start with about 1/2 cup, then add a little more in increments until the texture reaches the “cookie dough” consistency. Then stir in desired amount of chocolate chips.
Step 2: Roll into balls and freeze
Form into 1-inch balls and place on a wax paper lined baking sheet. Place pan in freezer to harden for about 15-30 minutes.
Step 3: Melt the chocolate
When the cookie dough balls are firm, melt the chocolate in the microwave at 50% power until smooth.
Step 4: Dip in chocolate
Using a fork, dip the balls into the melted chocolate. Tap the fork against the bowl to remove any excess chocolate. Place back on wax paper and sprinkle on desired toppings immediately (before the chocolate hardens).
Step 5: Freeze and serve!
Place truffles back in the freezer until chocolate has hardened completely. Then place them on a plate or cake stand to serve. Enjoy!

Do you use milk chocolate chips in the dough for a specific reason? I usually find that semi sweet taste better in my cookies but I don’t know if that only applies to baked dough!
Either one will work! I just tend to prefer milk chocolate chips. :)
I wonder if these could also be made with almond flour/grund almonds :-)
You’ll have to try it and let us know! :)
Hi there! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.. I will be making these this weekend. One question, How do these taste with Dark chocolate instead of semi sweet? I was thinking about doing 1/2 and 1/2 of each. Thanks for your time :)
Hi Dana! I haven’t tried these with dark chocolate, but I am sure they would be great! :)
Been having 2 cookie dough truffles for breakfast with my morning the past 2 days…THANK You for sharing!!! Love this easy, delicious recipe!
You are so welcome! I’m so glad you like them Michele, thanks for commenting! :)
My 9 year old son loved making these with me. We used margarine instead for a less calorie option and added a little more vanilla to compensate. Total yum! It really is a kid friendly recipe. Thanks for the awesome idea.
My kids loved helping me make these too! Thanks for your comment Brittany, I’m so glad you enjoyed these! :)
Oh never mind. I was using only 4 tablespoons of butter instead of 5. Makes a difference. :)
I’m glad you figured it out Kayla! Hope you enjoyed these. :)
My dough is not holding together. What did I do wrong?
I’ve always liked cookie dough better than cookies. Leaving out the egg was a great idea. Just don’t use packaged cookie dough as a short cut. It contains raw eggs and there have been salmonella outbreaks associated with eating it raw.
I made these today they were delicious so easy literally
took 15 minutes
So glad you enjoyed them Rachel! They really are so easy! :)
These would be a great way to take care of my chocolate cravings! They look so good!
These look incredible, I bet I could eat a whole batch all by myself!
1 TABLEspoon of vanilla seems like a huge amount. I know it says that on the BHG website, too… but, in your experience blogger baker opinion – what do you think?
Hi Dianne! 1 Tb does seem like a lot, but in this recipe it makes up for the missing egg! Even with the 1 Tb of vanilla, these taste delicious! :)
I made them today and the vanilla was so overpowering I double checked to make sure I didn’t misread! Waste of ingredients :(
Hi Jordan! You can definitely half the vanilla next time. Every vanilla has different strengths!
Look easy AND yummy! :)
I love cookie dough! I am definitely going to try these!!
Oh wow, these look delicious! Pinned!
Hello yummy! Thank you so much for sharing!
