How to Make Cookie Dough Truffles
Cookie Dough
To make raw flour safe to eat, place flour in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook for 90 seconds. Let cool completely.
Melt butter. Add in sugars. Stir to dissolve sugars. Stir in milk and vanilla extract. Add in flour and mix just until combined. Very slowly add in more milk if needed to bring the dough together.
Make sure the mixture is room temperature or cooler before adding chocolate chips. Stir in mini chocolate chips.
Prepare a cookie sheet that will fit in your refrigerator with parchment or wax paper.
Roll edible cookie dough into about 1-inch balls. Place dough balls on the prepared cookie sheet. I think a cookie scoop works great for making the cookie dough balls uniform. Then refrigerate for 30 minutes or until chilled.
If you don’t have a cookie scoop a tablespoon works great. Just scoop up the dough then roll into balls.
Preparing chocolate Candy Coating
While the cookie dough balls are chilling prepare chocolate for dipping. Melt the dark (or milk) chocolate candy coating or chocolate slowly. This is important. Candy coating that is melted too quickly and gets too hot will become stiff and then be cloudy or have spots when it hardens.
I melt candy coating in the microwave at 30-second intervals stirring after each. Once it starts to melt continue stirring and it will continue to melt without re-heating. If you do need a touch more heat do 15 seconds more.
Dip balls in melted chocolate candy coating, using a dipping tool or fork. Tap the dipping tool on side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Then use a wooden skewer to slide the ball onto wax paper or parchment paper.
This recipe makes about 24 cookie dough truffles. Enough to enjoy some at home and share with others.

These are so so delicious. Loved them.
Tastes delicious! The recipe is a bit unclear in some places, but I made it and it tasted great!
Flour is actually considered a raw ingredient and can have bacteria. Eating uncooked flour just like raw eggs can make you sick. The trick is to cook the flour until it reaches 160°F to kill off any bacteria. Another good method if you don’t have a thermometer is to microwave for 1 minute and 15 seconds on high, stirring at 15-second intervals.
Would you please let me know why flour needs to be made safe? I’ve never heard of this.
