Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¼ cups (157 g) all-purpose flour (heat-treated, if desired)
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (85 g) mini chocolate chips
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp (14 g) coconut oil or shortening (optional)
- Sprinkles
- White chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Creaming: Amalgamate butter with both sugars in a spacious mixing bowl, whisking until the mixture achieves a cloud-like, ethereal texture.
- Liquid Integration: Pour milk and vanilla extract, blending comprehensively to create a harmonious, silky foundation.
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Gradually incorporate flour and salt, stirring methodically until the mixture transforms into a cohesive dough. Tenderly fold mini chocolate chips throughout, ensuring even distribution.
- Portioning: Craft uniform spherical dough portions using a small scoop, arranging them meticulously on a parchment-lined tray. Freeze for 25 minutes to solidify the structures completely.
- Chocolate Coating: Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe vessel, intermittently stirring to prevent burning. Optional: Enhance chocolate’s luster by incorporating coconut oil. Submerge each frozen dough ball entirely, utilizing a dipping tool or fork for precise chocolate coverage.
- Decorative Finishing: Gently tap off excess chocolate, positioning each truffle back onto the parchment. While chocolate remains fluid, adorn with playful sprinkles or artistic white chocolate drizzles.
- Setting and Serving: Allow truffles to stabilize at room temperature or expedite the process through refrigeration for 15-20 minutes. Present chilled or at moderate room temperature to optimize flavor and textural experience.
Notes
- Chill Dough Thoroughly: Freeze cookie dough balls for exactly 25 minutes to prevent melting during chocolate coating and maintain structural integrity.
- Temper Chocolate Carefully: Melt chocolate in short 30-second microwave intervals, stirring consistently to avoid burning and achieve smooth, glossy coating.
- Control Chocolate Consistency: Add a teaspoon of coconut oil to melted chocolate for enhanced shine and easier dipping, preventing clumping and creating professional-looking truffles.
- Customize Dietary Options: Substitute regular flour with gluten-free alternatives, use dairy-free chocolate, and replace butter with plant-based versions to accommodate various dietary restrictions without compromising taste.
