Directions

Make the Edible Cookie Dough:

Heat-Treat the Flour: Spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to kill any bacteria. Let cool.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Vanilla and Milk: Mix in the vanilla extract and milk.
Add the Flour and Chocolate Chips: Stir in the cooled, heat-treated flour and mix until combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips. If the dough is too dry, add a splash of milk.
Roll into Balls: Roll small balls (about 1 teaspoon each) of cookie dough and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Freeze for 15-20 minutes.

Prepare the Brownie Mixture:

Crumb the Brownies: Crumble the cooled brownies into a large bowl. If they are dry or crumbly, mix in a couple tablespoons of chocolate frosting to help bind them.
Wrap the Cookie Dough Balls: Take a scoop of brownie mixture, flatten it slightly, and wrap it around each chilled cookie dough ball. Roll into a smooth ball. Repeat with remaining cookie dough and brownie mix.

Coat the Truffles:

Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Dip the Truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Add Toppings: Immediately sprinkle with toppings like sea salt, sprinkles, or drizzle with white chocolate if desired.
Chill to Set: Refrigerate the truffles for 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate is set.

Enjoy!

FAQs

Can I use store-bought brownies?

Can I make these truffles ahead of time?

Yes, they’re perfect for making ahead. Prepare and store them in the fridge or freezer until ready to serve.
