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!

Delicious! Just made these and they were quick, easy, and yummy:)
Thank you so much for this recipe!! I make them all the time and my family absolutely loves them… If only they could stay in the fridge longer ;)
I’m so glad your family loves this recipe. It is definitely a keeper! :)
I notice you have milk chocolate chips for the dough, and semi-sweet for the coating. Is there a reason behind this or just a personal preference? Would either be ok to use for both inside and the coating?
Just personal preference, you can use either! :)
Made these this weekend. Omg delish!! I used gf all purpose flour and turned out great!
I’m so glad you enjoyed them! I’m glad to know they work well with gf flour.
These look delicious
I made these for an after school treat for the kids….I ate 6 before they even got off the school bus, they are delicious!! Love that you can freeze them as I have no self control!
Thank you for a great recipe :D
I’m so glad they were a hit! Thanks for your comment and review! :)
I adore these! They’re such a perfect snack size, I can’t resist them!
I’m so happy you love them! :)
LOVE these cookie dough bites! So yummy dipped in chocolate!
I made these yesterday. Definitely make a double batch! I am wondering if you have any hints on dipping them, mine was pretty messy and didn’t look nearly as pretty as yours!
I like to use chocolate melting wafers (such as the ghiradeli ones), it makes them smooth. Also, I like to use a fork and tap them on the edge to smooth out the chocolate.
They were great………will keep this recipe
I used 3/4 cup flour. 1/3 cup butter plus a few shavings and 2t.vanilla. You could even use a teaspoon and a half. I also used semi chips for balls and dipping. Milk choc ones too mild
Can I freeze these after making them?
I think freezing these would work out! Just keep a close eye on any ice crystals developing on the chocolate, because that could ruin the flavor and texture.
Absolutely heavenly!! Think i might make these for our Halloween party coming up! Thanks so much for sharing!
How long do these last?
In a covered container, at least three days! Longer if you put them in the fridge. :)
Thanks so much for the recipe! Everyone loved them. My dough seemed a bit crumbly as people mentioned, but as soon you start rolling it into balls it comes together easily. I’m wondering how long the leftovers will keep in the fridge?
Yes! They should be food for a few days (but mine never last that long!)
I found my mixture to be quite crumbly and I know others have had the same problem; so just wanted to comment that adding about 2 tablespoons of milk really helped me to get the mixture sticking together.
Thanks for the tip, Sam! Some houses are more dry than others, and this a great tip!
I’ve made this recipe for the second time today, I am a big sucker for cookie dough, and these are so perfect for a little treat. Definitely am going to hold onto this recipe.
Can I subsitute semi sweet chocolate chips for the milk chocolate ships? I’m going to make them tomorrow for school and can’t get to the store.
Absolutely!
