Cookie Dough Truffles – bite sized edible cookie dough bites dipped in chocolate. These are so easy to make and perfect for any cookie dough lover!
Are you one of those people who makes a batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies just so you can eat some of the dough? This is definitely me, if I am making cookies It is almost impossible for me to stay out of the dough. Well now with these cookie dough balls you can have an egg free, safe to eat form of cookie dough!
Is it Safe to Eat Cookie Dough
Normal cookie dough that you bake into cookies is not safe to eat. Between the raw eggs and the flour there is risk of contamination and not something you should consume raw.
How to Make Edible Cookie Dough
The good news is you can make make these cookie dough bites that taste just like your traditional dough, that is 100% safe to eat!
- To make the truffles safe to eat we have to toast the flour first. This kills any bacteria so you can add it to the dough and eat it. Spread the flour evenly on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool completely before adding to the recipe.
- The recipe starts very similar to traditional cookies. Mix together butter and brown sugar until light and creamy. If you have an electric mixer it comes together really quickly in this.
- Next mix in your vanilla until it is well blended.
- Slowly mix in the toasted flour. The mixture will be very dry and crumbly, that is totally normal!
- Pour in the condensed milk and stir until it comes together.
- Mix in your chocolate chips and let the dough set in the fridge for about an hour. You need it to set up and harden just a little so you can roll into balls.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop out the dough and roll into balls.
- One at a time place the cookie dough bites into the melted chocolate and place on a lined baking sheet to harden. Let the truffles set up completely and store in an air tight container in the fridge.
Can you Freeze Cookie Dough Truffles
Yes, you absolutely can. Place them in an air tight container in the freezer for 2-3 months. Otherwise they are good in the fridge a couple weeks.
Tips for Making Cookie Dough Truffles
- Chocolate flavored almond bark or the Ghiradelli candy making bars melt the best and work really well for dipping candies.
- If you want to add sprinkles or other decorations you will want to do that very quickly. The balls set up in just a couple minutes.
- You can skip dipping them all together and just have balls of cookie dough if you want. Or just drizzle a little chocolate over each bite. It really is up to you!
- Don’t skip the step to toast the flour first, then you can be 100% confident when you serve these to your friends.

Ramona says
Hello, very interesting … but the base is not cooked? Do not you feel the raw meal?
Thank you and happy holidays
Ramona
Kristen says
Those look completely addicting. What a fun treat for your FIL and everyone else for that matter!
The Mom Chef ~ Taking on Magazines One Recipe at a Time says
Those are perfect. Hubby loves cookie dough. Back in his younger days (pre-marriage), he would buy tubes of the stuff and eat it with a spoon. Never made a single cookie. I think this would make a perfect Christmas treat for him, if I can pull making them without him noticing. 🙂
April says
Yum! I love these! I made these awhile ago and they are sinful 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Katrina @ In Katrina's Kitchen says
This is one of my favorite holiday treats!! yummy!
Kim Bee says
These look absolutely delish. I would want to eat them up all by myself.
Lacy says
Oh my goodness, these look amazing!! I have so much to do this week before Christmas but I’m totally finding time for these. Yum! Awesome recipe!
Tina@flourtrader says
These gems are definitely the ones you want to serve by themselves and serve them last. If not, your other holiday goodies will probably be ignored and you will be faced with questions like why didn’t you make any more of these truffles-I barely got to taste them!
I need to label the recipe with a note-“warning: this is highly addictive and has elements that can result in euphoria” Well done Erin!
Erin says
Truffles are the best and I don’t think it gets any better than these with cookie dough, yum!
Sandra's Easy Cooking says
Beautiful and so delicious looking! Well done Erin!!
Maggie says
This might be the best truffle ever made! I am pretty sure these would disappear from fridge or freezer in my house in 1 day flat. Your father-in-law is one lucky man! 🙂
Cassie @ Bake Your Day says
I love cookie dough so cookie dough truffles are such a no-brainer! Love these!
Caroline says
What a great Christmas dessert…these look great, Erin! x
Janet@FCTC says
Looks great, Erin! I agree with Kim and Tina… 1) no sharing; they are mine hehe and 2) put them out last 🙂
Must. Eat.These.
Jennifer Eloff says
So pretty – I’m guilty of eating cookie dough….;) Merry Christmas, Erin, and a Happy prosperous New Year to you and yours. Thanks for visiting my blog this past year. Appreciate it! 🙂
Ramona says
I know my husband would love these… he loves cookie dough. Great job. 🙂
Asmita says
I had never heard of cookie dough truffles before but would love to try these. They look addictive!
Emily @ Life on Food says
Dangerous is the only word I can describe these as…and I cannot wait to try them out. I think this could me a last minute Christmas present for my husband.
Stephanie @ Eat. Drink. Love. says
I looooveee me some cookie dough so I am really loving these!! So going to make these soon!
Ann says
I bet these were amazingly popular with everyone! If they were in my house – my family would be sneaking them every chance they got!
Alyssa says
Who doesn’t love cookie dough, and not getting sick is always a bonus to eating it! This is such a great gift. I’ve got a holiday party to go to and since our hosts don’t drink wine, I think I may try this for a hostess gift. Thanks for sharing!
Charlie says
Look Fantastic!
Ramona: I doubt you would feel the meal.
I remember as a child stealing the cookie dough and even now have to have a bit of it.
It is awesome.
Using the milk instead of egg will result in the same type of smooth texture.
Tara @ Chip Chip Hooray says
Deeeelish. I could eat raw cookie dough by the bowlful (…not that I’ve done that in the past or anything). 😉
Erin says
I have never done that either 😉
Julia at Cafe Lula says
Ooo yum yum yum. I made cookies at the weekend and picking at the dough while I was rolling them out reminded me how good raw cookie dough is! I must make these soon.
Carolyn says
Oh Erin, those are just perfect. I want to reach through my screen for them.
