Decadent Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

Ingredients

Unsalted butter

1/2 cup, softened

Brown sugar

3/4 cup, firmly packed

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

All-purpose flour

2 cups

Mini chocolate chips

1 cup, plus extra for topping

Semi-sweet chocolate

2 cups, chopped

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and firmly packed brown sugar until it becomes light and fluffy.
2. Mix in the vanilla extract.
3. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt into the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
4. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips into the dough.
5. Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, shape the dough into small truffle-sized balls and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Chill the dough balls in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up.
7. While the truffles are chilling, melt the chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Do this in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
8. Once the truffles are firm, dip each one into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, ensuring they are fully coated. Shake off any excess chocolate before placing them back on the lined baking sheet.
9. Immediately sprinkle the freshly coated truffles with extra mini chocolate chips.
10. Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set.
11. Serve the truffles chilled, and enjoy the nostalgic taste of cookie dough in a bite-sized treat.
