Make the Egg-Free Cookie Dough

First, let me present you the line-up of elements you want. These are all fundamental cookie elements and spot that there isn’t any egg or leavener (baking soda) in any respect, each typical elements in chocolate chip cookies. Why aren’t baking the cookie dough balls, so we don’t want one thing like baking powder or baking soda. And we are able to skip the egg and swap in milk:

Every ingredient performs a task to yield tender chocolate chip cookie dough balls with a buttery-sweet, brown sugared, chocolate chip taste. A number of notes:

• It’s crucial to heat-treat the flour. Why? Flour is uncooked and generally is a provider of E. coli until it goes via a heating course of. Heating it earlier than utilizing retains these truffles suitable for eating. It’s actually fast and straightforward to warmth the flour, and I’ve directions under.
• I strongly advocate mini chocolate chips so that you get extra chocolate dispersed all through every chew. They’re excellent for these smaller-size truffles the place common chocolate chips could really feel/style too cumbersome inside.
• Use actual chocolate to coat the truffles. Search for chocolate baking bars, comparable to Baker’s or Ghirardelli manufacturers. I usually use semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, however how darkish you want your chocolate is as much as you!

How To Form Cookie Dough Truffles

Use an electrical mixer for this recipe. You’ll cream the butter and sugars, then add the milk and vanilla. These are your moist elements. Then mix the dry elements collectively, together with the heat-treated flour. Mix all of it, and add the mini chocolate chips.

You possibly can roll the balls as massive or small as you’d like. I normally make mine about 1 Tablespoon of cookie dough every, which yields round 30 truffles. After you form the cookie dough balls, refrigerate them for not less than 1 hour to set the form, which makes dipping lots simpler.

Ideas for Dipping Fairly Truffles

You possibly can soften the chopped chocolate in a double boiler in case you have one, however I normally simply use the microwave. Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it in 20-second increments, stirring after every increment till fully melted and easy. I truly like to make use of a 2-cup glass liquid measuring cup for this; I discover the depth works particularly effectively for dipping.

*I don’t advocate tempering chocolate for these cookie dough truffles as a result of they’re greatest refrigerated; and tempered chocolate can’t be saved within the fridge.*

One other tip, and it’s fully elective: Soften the chocolate with a little bit little bit of oil. Simply 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil or coconut oil does the trick; it makes the chocolate coating completely easy, and it units a little bit softer on the truffles.

Right here’s my secret to creating the prettiest truffles: use sweet dipping instruments! In the event you don’t have a spiral sweet dipping device, don’t fear—you’ll be able to merely use a fork as a substitute.

1. Drop truffle in melted chocolate.
2. Scoop out with the spiral sweet dipping device or fork.
3. Faucet device in opposition to bowl and permit further chocolate to drip off.
4. Flip truffle over onto lined baking sheet, or if utilizing a fork, slide it off utilizing a toothpick to assist.

That is precisely how I coat common chocolate truffles, these peanut butter balls, and these tremendous simple Oreo balls.

High the moist chocolate with flaky sea salt and/or chocolate sprinkles. Refrigerate the dipped truffles to set the chocolate; it takes nearly 20–half-hour.

These are such a particular deal with as a result of they seize the enjoyment of consuming uncooked cookie dough (the perfect a part of making cookies!!) in a chocolate-covered truffle that everybody can get pleasure from safely.
