Cookie Dough Truffles: The Ultimate No-Bake Dessert Recipe

  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 36 truffles 1x

Description

Sweetened condensed milk cookie dough truffles, dipped in chocolate and topped with your favorite sprinkles!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate, your preference!)
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 12 ounces chocolate, for melting (dark, milk, or white – again, your choice!)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother melting)
  • Sprinkles, for decoration

Instructions

  1. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
  2. Add the vanilla and eggs: Beat in the vanilla extract, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips: Stir in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
  6. Add the sweetened condensed milk: Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and mix until just combined.
  7. Chill the dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  8. Prepare your workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  9. Roll the dough into balls: Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough at a time. Roll the dough between your palms to form a smooth ball. If the dough is too sticky, you can lightly dust your hands with flour.
  10. Place the truffles on the prepared baking sheet: Arrange the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
  11. Chill the truffles again: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.
  12. Choose your melting method: You can melt the chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave.
  13. Melting in the microwave: Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can burn easily. If the chocolate is not melting smoothly, you can add the vegetable shortening. The shortening helps to thin the chocolate and gives it a smoother, glossier finish.
  14. Melting using a double boiler: Fill a saucepan with about an inch of water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Place a heat-safe bowl on top of the saucepan, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Add the chocolate to the bowl and stir occasionally until it’s completely melted and smooth. Again, you can add the vegetable shortening for a smoother consistency.
  15. Prepare your dipping station: Have the melted chocolate in a bowl and the chilled truffles on the baking sheet. Also, have your sprinkles or other decorations ready to go.
  16. Dip the truffles in chocolate: Using a fork or dipping tools, carefully dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s completely coated.
  17. Remove excess chocolate: Gently tap the fork against the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
  18. Place the dipped truffles back on the baking sheet: Place the dipped truffles back on the prepared baking sheet.
  19. Decorate with sprinkles: Immediately sprinkle the truffles with sprinkles or other decorations while the chocolate is still wet. This will ensure that the decorations adhere properly.
  20. Let the chocolate set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
