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!

How long will the dough stay refridgerated? I wanted to make mini-truffles for my mother-in-law’s birthday and made 6 dozen minis with a ton of dough left. I don’t want to waste it, but I really don’t want to make a ton more cookie dough balls for a party with less than 20 people! Any idea how long it will last in the fridge or freezer?
I’d freeze it if you want to keep it… just like any other cookie dough- maybe a month or so? Just guessing…
These look AMAZING and I’ve started making them for my sister’s wedding shower this weekend. I made the dough (turned out perfectly, by the way!) and it’s in little balls chilling in the fridge. Do you have any idea how well these keep? Would I be ok dipping them in chocolate today and keeping them chilled, or should I freeze the dough balls and decorate closer to the weekend?
Although, if you’re anything like me, I’m not sure you could vouch for how long they keep – they don’t stick around that long!
Oh gosh, it’s tough to give advice when I haven’t done it myself. If you freeze the dough, don’t dip in chocolate while frozen or you might see cracking. As far as how long they last- I would think they’d be fine dipped in choc a day or two before your event and then kept in the fridge. Good luck!
I’ve made these twice now, and I’m making them again soon because they’re always a hit! I bring them to theater cast parties and never have leftovers. I have yet to have a problem with consistency or flavor, and I followed the recipe, although I do make them smaller and once I made disks instead of balls. The only thing I do differently is to put a bit of flour on my hands when I roll them so they don’t stick, that might help if they’re runny. Thanks for the recipe!
These are very good, but they’re very rich. Next time I make them, they’ll be bite size, make them easier to eat.
Hey, just made these today! They turned out awesome but I only used about half (or less) of the condensed milk. I also didn’t use expensive chocolate for the coating but it made no difference to me :]

Lori, I must say you are amazing. I have tried a few of your recipes and they are as you describe, amazing!!! These truffles were were beyond words. My daughter couldn’t stop eating the dough. Lets just say I did get as many truffles and the recipe indicated.
Happy to hear! And thank you for that nice compliment 🙂
These cookies are sooo delicious. I just made them and ate about 7!!!!!!! These are just perfect for any occasion, and they are very easy to make, no baking at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How amazing these truffles just made my day:) LOVE THEM SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!! You got to make these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 :)))
I have a question about the butter. I have like 10 sticks of unsalted butter in my house – all of which are long expired because I rarely use them. Can I use salted butter in this recipe or would that taste awful?
Yes, use salted butter. Whenever I call for butter in my recipes, it’s for the regular salted kind. If a recipe needs unsalted, I’ll indicate it as such. Hope you enjoy!
I made these yesterday and followed the recipe exactly and they hardened in about an hour and were perfectly able to roll! I made half of them into truffles and half of them into chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes, very yummy! However, it was EXTREMELY rich and sweet! Maybe some people can handle that more than others, but I can only eat one per day! Overall, very good, I just maybe need to figure out a way to make it not quite as sweet…
these chocolate chip cookie dough truffles look so good. would it work if you use a mix of chocolate chip cookie dough and make the truffles with that?
Well, I haven’t tried a mix… so I really can’t tell you for sure if it will work or not. I’d give it a shot and see!
