Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Coating and Assembly

  • Chocolate candy coating (amount as needed for dipping)
  • Popsicle sticks, cut in half (use kitchen scissors to make a clean, smooth cut)
  • Optional small sprinkles for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 3 minutes. Next, mix in the milk and vanilla extract until combined.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients and Chocolate Chips: Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing on low speed until just combined to form a dough. Then fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  3. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until it is firm enough to handle and shape into balls.
  4. Shape and Freeze: Roll or scoop the cold dough into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a wax paper-lined baking sheet and freeze them for at least 15 minutes to firm up—freezing for an hour is even better for ease of handling.
  5. Melt the Candy Coating: Follow the package instructions to melt the chocolate candy coating until smooth and ready for dipping.
  6. Assemble the Truffles: Remove a few dough balls from the freezer at a time. Insert a half popsicle stick into each ball. Dip the truffle into the melted candy coating, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. Optionally, add small sprinkles on top while the coating is still wet.
  7. Set and Store: Place the dipped truffles onto wax paper to set. If chocolate pools on the bottom, dab gently on the wax paper to remove excess chocolate before moving to a clean spot. Once fully set, refrigerate the truffles in an airtight container for up to one week.

Notes

  • Ensure the flour is heat-treated if you intend to eat the dough raw to avoid any food safety issues.
  • For easier handling, freeze the dough balls for longer than 15 minutes if needed.
  • Use good-quality chocolate candy coating for a smooth finish and best taste.
  • These truffles can be stored in the refrigerator up to one week in an airtight container.
  • Sprinkles are optional but add a fun decorative touch.
