Let’s all just say it together. Wow.
I know my photos don’t do these glorious little orbs of chocolate-chip cookie dough dipped in semi-sweet dark chocolate but trust me when I tell you that you need to make these.
If you aren’t a big cook or baker, well, even you have no excuse because you won’t have to open your oven to make them.
When I saw them on Love and Olive Oil I knew that I had no choice but to buy the ingredients the next day, because, well. I love anything chocolate chip and I love eating cookie dough.
Yes, I sure did just admit that on public forum. Now, does anyone want to venture to guess why I don’t have a boyfriend?
The cookie dough itself is egg-free and potentially dairy free.
If you want to get all vegan (I’m looking at you, Rachel) you can find dairy-free chocolate chips to use in the truffles and as coating. I used store-brand miniature chocolate chips but had Ghirardelli semisweet chocolate chips, which I melted and used for dipping.
I ate a few too. I’m not ashamed.
- 2½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ⅓ cup milk or soy milk
- 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 oz dark chocolate candy coating (Wilton's)
- Beat butter and sugars and in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add soymilk and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt and mix on low speed (or by hand) until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Cover and chill dough for 1 hour.
- When dough is firm enough to handle (it may help to lightly flour your hands), form dough into 1" balls and arrange on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Place sheets in freezer and let chill for 30 minutes.
- Melt chocolate candy coating in a double boiler or in microwave according to package directions. Using forks or a dipping tool, dip cookie balls into candy coating to cover. Tap fork on side of pan to remove any excess coating, and return to waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Chill until set. Store, chilled, in an airtight container for up to 1 week (though good luck making them last that long).

April 13, 2011 at 7:21 pmI am just now seeing the shout out, and don’t worry, I plan on veganising these ASAP. Maybe for the Royal Wedding?

April 2, 2011 at 2:03 amUh, any guy who wouldn’t date a girl because she likes eating – particularly eating things that are delicious, like cookie dough – is a loser who doesn’t deserve a girlfriend.

April 1, 2011 at 3:00 amThose sound really good–I’m a big chocolate chip cookie dough fan!

March 31, 2011 at 6:02 pmI think that I am going to give these a try. Delicicious looking and easy!

March 31, 2011 at 11:23 amHuh. Maybe this is the reason I don’t have a boyfriend either? Sigh. If that’s it, then there’s really no hope for me. Because I shall eat cookie dough till the day I die. It’s non-negotiable.
I’ve made these before (or a similar recipe…can’t remember if I used this one) but they are fantastic! And utterly addictive!

March 31, 2011 at 2:16 amAnyone who says they don’t love eating cookie dough…. well, I don’t trust them. Liars! These look great. I definitely plan on making them and (hopefully!) sharing some. 🙂
Beth
March 30, 2011 at 6:22 pmI’ve made these several times now, and the last time I never even got around to the dipping part, instead just ate the dough right out of the bowl!
Maris Callahan
March 30, 2011 at 6:23 pmI don’t blame you! I definitely had a few cookie truffles that didn’t make it past the bowl!
Georgia @ The Comfort of Cooking
March 30, 2011 at 4:02 pmMaris, these cookie dough truffles look amazing! It may be morning, but I could definitely go for one of these babies for breakfast, haha. Thanks for sharing! You have such a beautiful blog! 🙂

March 30, 2011 at 3:44 pmMaris – these could be dangerous, girl! OMG – wow is right!

March 30, 2011 at 1:38 pmOh my goodness. I bet these babies would be fabulous with a nice vanilla ice cream. What an inspiration!

March 30, 2011 at 1:23 pmI am not ashamed to say I love eating cookie dough:D

March 30, 2011 at 1:43 amNow. That is just brilliant. Truthfully, I don’t know that you’d want to trade those in for a boyfriend. (Did I just admit that on a public forum?) Those little dough balls just may be more reliable. And certainly tasty. I’m just sayin’.
Maris Callahan
March 30, 2011 at 6:23 pmI can agree with that 🙂
Ellie@fitforthesoul
March 30, 2011 at 12:24 amThese look so cute! ahhhh sounds delicious! does it taste or feel really different from mama Pea’s recipe? 🙂

March 29, 2011 at 11:47 pmI love chocolate chip cookie dough too. 🙂
With my husband being gone so much on business lately, these look like the perfect “I really miss my husband and I’ll eat my weight in truffles because I want to!” treat. 🙂
Roz
March 29, 2011 at 6:28 pmYUM!! I would like a few of these RIGHT NOW!!! Thanks for sharing the great recipe and hunger inducing photo!!! Have a great day Maris.

March 29, 2011 at 11:15 pmI was JUST looking for a recipe to bring to a party this weekend… of course you came through! I’m going to need a good explanation for why I can’t lose this baby weight though…
Vanessa
March 29, 2011 at 11:11 pmYUM!!! These look and sound sooo good. I plan on whipping up a ton of treats for Easter and these will be one of them. Thanks for sharing!

March 29, 2011 at 10:52 pmOMG — if I made these, I would instantly gain 5 pounds, because there’s no way I would eat just one! Delicious recipe!

March 29, 2011 at 10:30 pmI’m not kidding when I tell you that I just checked my pantry for the ingredients. I may or may not have to make these tonight. These look incredible.
