Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough hidden inside of chocolate covered truffles = Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles.
These Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles are little bites of egg free chocolate chip cookie dough covered in a chocolate coating. They are the best-tasting truffles with a tender cookie dough inside and a hard chocolate shell on the outside.
Ingredients Needed:
- salted butter
- light brown sugar
- vanilla extract
- all purpose flour
- canned sweetened condensed milk
- miniature chocolate chips
- chocolate (almond) bark
- sprinkles, for topping (optional)
How to make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles:
The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together butter and brown sugar. Add the vanilla. Beat in the flour, 1 cup at a time, until it is incorporated and you no longer see chunks of brown sugar (if you spot any, just squish them). Beat in the sweetened condensed milk and mix until well-combined. Stir in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl of cookie dough and refrigerate until the dough is firm (at least 1 hour- maybe more… you want the dough to be quite firm). Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out heaping tablespoonfuls, roll into balls and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Place all of the rolled balls back into the refrigerator until you are ready to dip them in chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate bark in a glass bowl- easiest to do in the microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring after each heating time, until smooth. Use a spoon to help you dip the chilled dough ball into the chocolate and roll it around to cover all sides. Place it on a waxed paper-lined platter. Sprinkle with any desired toppings. Repeat with the rest of the dough balls. They’ll begin to set pretty quickly. Keep them refrigerated until ready to serve.
Recipe Tip
To eliminate any dangers of using raw flour, toast your flour in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F. Then it will be safe to use in an uncooked cookie dough recipe like this one.
What I Love About This Recipe:
- It reminds me of my chocolate chip cookie dough brownies recipe, which is also amazing!
- They are bites of delicious, and they’re fun to display on a dessert table because no one is expecting what’s inside.
- I love that you can decorate these with white chocolate drizzled on top or some sprinkles or chocolate chips.

- One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup miniature chocolate chips
- 1½ pounds chocolate bark, for melting and dipping
- additional chocolate chips and sprinkles, for topping

Notes
- *To eliminate any dangers of using raw flour, toast your flour in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F. Then it will be safe to use in an uncooked cookie dough recipe like this one.
- *I use the Ghirardelli Candy Making Dipping Bar- both Double Chocolate and White flavors. It’s available at Sam’s Club- they may have it at Costco too.
- *You may wish to speed up the chilling process and place the balls into the freezer, but it’s not such a good idea. The dough freezes up and then when it begins to warm up again- it expands and may cause the chocolate coating to crack.
- *Have your own favorite cookie dough recipe? Leave out the eggs, add a little milk to compensate for any dryness in the dough, and try making truffles with your own recipe!

Hi, these look delicious! I was wondering if it would come out different if I used just whole milk instead of condensed milk. Would it effect the taste or how well it holds?
definitely not the same! It will be far too runny if you use regular milk.
These are signed up for the truffel evening me and my sister are having on saturday! I can’t wait!
I just made these and they are delicious! I added about a 1/2 teaspoon of Kosher salt to the dough to balance out the sweetness. I made 37 truffles, the perfect size for my class party.
I made these this weekend and everyone loved them! I have already passed on the link to friends! I did use some powdered sugar on my hands when rolling them and that made them slightly less sticky and a little easier to dip.
Tried this recipe and found it to be one of my absolute favorites! I decided to try a variation, though, and used minted chocolate for the coating instead of regular chocolate – these were TO DIE FOR!!! Experiment with them and use different flavored chocolate for the coating; they come out great!!!
Followed the recipe exactly and they turned out okay. The flour was very overpowering I think. They tasted much better dipped but the cookie dough still tasted a little bit weird because of the flour. I didnt particularly like them but people that tried them did and all of them got eaten.
I just made these with my daughter and they are sooooo sweet! They’re good, but sweet. This could be because of the chocolate and vanilla dip I used though. We tried all kinds of toppings and had a good time makng these together. I used your recipe and they were fine, but I also let the dough sit for quite a while before I rolled and dipped them.
I made these last night and they came out amazing! I followed to recipe exactly. The only difference was I left the cookie dough in the refridgerator for 2 hours which made it hard enough so it would not melt when I put it in the melted chocolate. I plan on making them again this weekend 🙂
Actually, I had some family over this weekend and they are gone haha, but I will remember this for next time. If I have them for over 1 week, I’ll freeze them. Hopefully the chocolate coating won’t crack. We shall see 🙂
Also Lori, do you know how long these can be refrigerated before they go bad? I only eat them like 2 at a time and I have so many lol.
Yeah, makes a lot doesn’t it? I’m pretty sure we kept them for a week or so. Maybe try freezing a few?
