Ingredients

Save

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated for safety)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (plus more for dipping)
• 1-2 tablespoons milk (as needed)

Tools Needed

• Mixing bowls
• Silicone spatula or wooden spoon
• Cookie scoop or tablespoon
• Baking sheet lined with parchment paper
• Microwave-safe bowl for melting chocolate

Suggested Substitutions and Additions

• Use coconut oil or vegan butter for a dairy-free version.
• Substitute almond flour or oat flour for a gluten-free option.
• For flavor variations, add a tablespoon of sprinkles, peanut butter, or almond extract.
• Use white chocolate or colored chocolate melts for dipping.

How to Make

Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugar

Start by blending the softened butter with the brown sugar in a mixing bowl. You’ll want to mix it until it’s light and fluffy – this should take about 2-3 minutes. The sweet aroma will fill your kitchen, and you’ll know you’re on your way to something wonderful!

Step 2: Combine the Dry Ingredients

Next, in a separate bowl, combine the heat-treated flour and salt. Heat-treating flour is important here to ensure it’s safe since we are not baking it! Just spread it on a baking sheet and toast it in the oven at 350°F (about 5 minutes). Combine the flour mix with the butter mixture, adding in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips. Mix until just combined, enjoying the sight of your luscious dough coming together.

Step 3: Form the Truffles

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, measure out small portions of the dough and roll them into balls. This step is so much fun! You’ll see the golden and chocolatey dough transform into round, delightful little bites. Place the truffles on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Chill the Truffles

Once all your truffles are shaped, pop the baking sheet into the fridge for about 30 minutes. This will help them firm up so they hold their shape when you dip them in chocolate.

Step 5: Melt the Chocolate

While the truffles are chilling, melt some chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until it’s completely smooth and glossy.

Step 6: Dip the Truffles

When the truffles are firm, take them out of the fridge. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated. Use a fork to lift them out, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 7: Add Final Touches

Before the chocolate sets, feel free to sprinkle on some extra toppings like colorful sprinkles or a drizzle of white chocolate for that extra flair and beautiful finishing touch.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Fix Common Mistakes: If your dough seems too crumbly, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
