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.

- 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!

Just made these, cookie dough still isn’t hardened, been three hours. I know I did the recipe right, since my mom made me triple check everything…very disappointed.
Any chance you used evaporated milk instead of sweetened condensed milk?
Is there anyway that we can put them in a bag (plastic) and give them to someone with out them going bad? This is a perfect gift and i dont want to have to refrigerate them as soon as i give them to the person
You could box them and refrigerate them, but it’s not the sort of truffle recipe that can stay unrefrigerated.
Sounds GOOD as everyone says, but I was just wondering… IS it unhealthy (besides the gaining fat part) in any way since none of this is getting cooked?
I’ve not heard anything unhealthy about eating raw, unless it contains raw egg.
I just made these and you can taste the flour in it. I’m making another batch and adding powdered sugar
they dont need to be baked?just the frigde part?
Yep- this is one for cookie *dough* lovers 🙂
Hi, Lori. I am so excited to make these for the holidays. They sound delicious and yours look exquisite! I’ve read msot of the comments and see how long they last in the fridge…but have you ever made them and froze them ahead? I have done this with Oreo Truffles and wondered if this would work as well. Let me know if you or anyone else has experience with this. It would be tremendously helpful to be able to have them ready to thaw at room temperature for my upcoming party.
Thanks!
The only problem I have with freezing these is that the chocolate sometimes cracks in the freezer.
Wow, these look fantastic!
This may be a stupid question, but do these require refrigeration after the chocolate has set? I’m wondering because I would love to send some to my brother for his birthday, but I don’t want to send them if they would go bad in a day or two without refrigeration.
Yes, they do. They are not a good for mailing!
These are SO GENIUS! I made 2 batches- NOTHING went wrong. From my experience condensed milk has varied a lot. Plus my fridge is SUPER cold and I just used a spoon to glob them on wax paper BEFORE putting them in the fridge. I think where you are on the ‘globe’ will affect it too. Thanks Lori!
These look so good. I am going to make them for Thanks Giving! They will be perfect after all the turkey.
