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.

Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter
- 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
Instructions
- 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).

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!

Let me join all my fellow cookie dough lovers ! this recipe is inspired by the pure love of ingredients that make up a fairly common fair and lifts it up and beyond . I to was raised licking the bowl cleaning the beaters with my tongue I love it makes me smile just thinking about it
I can’t wait to try these! Stumbled upon them today, can’t believe I didn’t see them before 🙂
I know!! Yours are perfect but mine just won’t harden! But yeah my sweetened condensed milk was really syrupy, and really thick. I was even debating on using it all when I first saw it because it just looked so thick.. But I didn’t wanna not follow your instructions! Haha. I’m thinking about just adding a tad more flour, that seems like my only option right now because it’s literally been over 24 hours and they still are so soft I can’t even keep them in ball form! Geeeeeeeeeze. I’m so not willing to give up though, i spent so much on candy coating that i WILL dip these eventually! Lol
I fell in love just reading this recipe. And i’m actually in the process of making them right now but they’re in the fridge hardening. I read through the comments and I can add to some of them that they are right about the too much sweetened condensed milk and floury taste. I was wondering what I can add to these to sweeten them up a little and make it less.. weird tasting. I’m pretty sure it’s the condensed milk though, I used almost the whole 14 ounces but it did seem like a little too much, is there a way i can get that taste hidden a little? Other than that i’m pretty excited to make these for my roommates! I’m anxious to dip them but they’ve been in the fridge since 9 and still are not hard enough to put into balls 🙁 I’m 100% positive i followed your directions exactly the way you wrote them!
I liked them as-is, but I definitely preferred them dipped in chocolate rather than eating the dough on its own. Hopefully, the dough will harden up for you. Might let it sit overnight?
i had a question if anyone can help me…. i saw this amazing little recipe and i had bought nestle chocolate chip cookie dough and i was wondering if i had to use that recipe of chocolate chip cookie dough up there or can i use the one i bought. i thought about this awesome last night and so bought one in the tube in the refigerated aisle is it ok to use instead of the one on the recipe?
Haven’t tried it so it’s hard to say… let me know if you give it a go!
These are outstanding….thought my husband was going to die! He asked if he could just take the bowl full of batter and park himself on the couch with a spoon! I’m sure they’ll be gone in a heartbeat at work tomorrow. Next time, I might try to dissolve the sugar before beating, I think its just a texture thing with me. Such an ingenious little dessert and sure to give my Oreo truffles a run for their money!
My daughter and I made these and they turned out splendidly! Thank you for the recipe! I am posting a link to it on my blog today!
i just made these and they are WONDERFUL!!!!!!!! very rich and creamy. i recommend everyone to try these. 🙂
Lori,
I wanted to tell you that I completely agree with your stance on chocolate chip cookies. Whenever a friend would bring cookies to a group dinner, I was always sorely disappointed. Chocolate chip cookies just don’t do it for me. So, I thinks these cookie dough cookies are an amazing idea. Everyone loves cookie dough…especially me. Thanks for the inspiration.
These look amazing! Must make these for friends sometime
