Can I eat raw cookie dough safely in truffles?

Yes—this recipe uses no eggs and heat-treated flour , eliminating the risk of salmonella and E. coli. Always heat-treat flour and avoid using raw eggs.

Do I need to refrigerate cookie dough truffles?

Yes. While they can be served at room temp for short periods, refrigeration keeps the dough firm and the chocolate coating intact.

What’s the best way to coat truffles in chocolate?

Use a fork or dipping tool and tap gently against the bowl to remove excess chocolate. This creates a smooth, even shell without puddling.

Can I use store-bought edible cookie dough?

Technically, yes—but homemade versions like this one are designed to hold up during chilling, dipping, and freezing, and offer better flavor balance.

In a medium bowl, whisk melted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
Add heat-treated flour and mix until dough forms.
Fold in 1 cup of mini chocolate chips.

Use a cookie scoop for uniform truffle sizes.
Customize with add-ins like peanut butter, sprinkles, or white chocolate chips.
