- 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened - 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed - 1/4 cup granulated sugar - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 1 cup mini chocolate chips - 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles - 1 cup white chocolate chips (for coating) In this recipe, I use simple and fun ingredients. First, we need flour, which is the base of our cookie dough. It gives the truffles that classic cookie taste. I also use unsalted butter, so I can control the salt in my mixture. Next, brown sugar adds moisture and a rich flavor. The granulated sugar gives sweetness and a slight crunch. Both sugars blend well, making the dough light and fluffy. I add vanilla extract for a warm, sweet aroma. A pinch of salt balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors. For the fun part, mini chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles add joy to each bite. They create a festive look and taste, perfect for celebrations. Finally, white chocolate chips coat the truffles, making them pretty and sweet. This mix of ingredients creates a delightful treat. Each truffle is a small bite of joy. The combination of flavors and textures makes this recipe a hit for any birthday or special occasion. To make the flour safe, heat it in the oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread 1 cup of all-purpose flour evenly on a baking sheet. Bake it for 5 to 7 minutes. This step kills any bacteria. After baking, let the flour cool completely before using it. Start by creaming the butter and sugars. In a large mixing bowl, add 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Mix them together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Next, add the cooled flour, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir until all the ingredients combine well. The dough should be thick and easy to handle. Finally, gently fold in 1 cup of mini chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of rainbow sprinkles. Now it’s time to shape the dough. Use a tablespoon or a cookie scoop to scoop out the dough. Roll each scoop into a ball about 1 inch in diameter. Place the dough balls on a lined baking sheet. You should get about 20 truffles from this mixture. To firm up the truffles, chill them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. For coating, you need to melt the white chocolate chips. Place 1 cup of white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Stir the chocolate between each interval until it is smooth and fully melted. To coat the truffles, dip each chilled ball into the melted white chocolate. Make sure each truffle is fully covered. Use a fork to lift the truffle out and let the excess chocolate drip off. Place it back on the lined baking sheet. While the coating is still wet, sprinkle some rainbow sprinkles on top for extra fun. Allow the truffles to set at room temperature or place them in the fridge for about 15 minutes to harden. To get the right texture for your cookie dough, you want it thick and creamy. Make sure to cream the butter and sugars well. This step adds air and makes the dough light. If the dough feels too dry, add a splash of milk or a little more butter. For flavor, try adding almond extract or lemon zest for a twist. When coating your truffles, keep the melted white chocolate smooth. If it starts to thicken, warm it gently. Dip each truffle fully, then lift it with a fork. Let the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. This helps avoid clumps. If you find drips on the truffles, gently tap the fork to shake them off. To serve your truffles, arrange them on a bright platter. You can also use cupcake liners for a fun touch. For gifts, consider a decorative box or jar. Add a cute label or ribbon to make it special. This way, your treats look as good as they taste! {{image_2}} You can make these truffles even more fun. Try adding a few drops of different extracts. Almond extract gives a nice twist. It adds a warm, nutty flavor. You can also swap out the white chocolate for dark or milk chocolate. Each change gives a new taste. You get to be creative with each batch! Mix-ins can make your truffles unique. Instead of rainbow sprinkles, use chocolate sprinkles or crushed cookies. This adds a nice crunch. You can also add nuts like chopped walnuts or pecans. Dried fruit, like cherries or cranberries, works too. These mix-ins will surprise your taste buds! Want to make it gluten-free? Use gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour. This swap keeps the taste and texture. For a vegan version, replace butter with coconut oil. Use dairy-free chocolate for coating. Both options let everyone enjoy these truffles! To keep your truffles fresh, store them in an airtight container. You can use a plastic container or a glass jar with a tight lid. This helps to lock in moisture and flavor. Place a piece of parchment paper between layers if stacking them. This prevents sticking and makes them easy to grab. You can freeze these truffles for up to three months. To freeze, place them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Freeze until firm, then transfer them to a freezer bag. Make sure to remove as much air as possible. When you're ready to enjoy them, take them out and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This keeps their texture and flavor just right. Yes, you can eat raw cookie dough, but there are safety tips to consider. Raw flour may have germs. To make it safe, heat the flour first. Spread it on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes. This kills any harmful bacteria. Allow it to cool before mixing with other ingredients. By doing this, you can enjoy your cookie dough safely. If you need to substitute white chocolate, there are great options. Dark chocolate works well for a rich flavor. Milk chocolate gives a sweeter taste. If you want a dairy-free option, use vegan chocolate chips. These alternatives fit different diets and still taste amazing. Choose what you like best! These truffles can last up to a week when stored properly. Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, place them in the fridge. They can last up to two weeks chilled. If you want to freeze them, they stay fresh for up to three months. Just remember to wrap them well! You now know how to make tasty cookie dough truffles. We covered the main ingredients and steps needed, from preparing the flour to melting and coating the chocolate. I shared helpful tips for the best texture, easy coating tricks, and fun presentation ideas. You can even mix in different flavors or adapt the recipe to fit diets. Enjoy your sweet treats!

Heat the Flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the all-purpose flour on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes to kill any bacteria. Let it cool completely.

    Make the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

      Add Flavor and Texture: Stir in the cooled baked flour, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. The dough should be thick.

        Fold in the Goodies: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

                Coat the Truffles: Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Use a fork to lift the truffle out and let the excess coating drip off before placing it back on the lined baking sheet.

                  Add More Sprinkles: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle a few rainbow sprinkles on top of each truffle for extra flair.

                    Set the Coating: Allow the coated truffles to set at room temperature, or you can place them in the fridge for about 15 minutes to harden more quickly.
