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.

- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour (see Recipe Notes)
- 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!

I have made these several times! Huge hit everytime, I partially freeze them before dipping in chocolate.
I’ve been making this specific recipe since 2010 (so 10 years!!!) Everyone I know absolutely adores these. I do usually cut the sugar down by just a little because the chocolate I use is already quite sweet. But anyways, I just wanted to say thank you!
Is there any substitution for the milk? I can’t have dairy 🙁
I haven’t experimented with non-dairy, so I’m not sure.
Hi Lori, I was thinking of making these vegan, could I use oat flour or almond flour?
I haven’t tried it!
Hello! Quick question…will it be okay to freeze these when I’m done making them? I’m afraid I will eat them all at once if I don’t. Haha! Thanks!
Yes, they may crack… but they might be okay!
Hi do you have to bake the cookie dough truffles, seems like you just refrigerate them? There is flour in there so I thought you might need to bake ?
Thanks
They are “no bake.”
Do these need to stay in the fridge until served and stored in after?
Yes, that’s a good idea.
Do I have to toast my flour?
It is recommended since raw flour is not safe to eat sometimes.
Can I use self rising flour instead of all purpose flour?
Well, the truffles aren’t cooked… so I guess that would be okay!
Do you have a gluten free recipe?
I don’t– but maybe try using GF flour?
