What You’ll Need
📌 For the cookie dough:
- ½ cup butter (softened)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated, see below!)
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp milk (to get that perfect dough consistency)
📌 For the Nutella filling:
- ½ cup Nutella (chilled for easy rolling)
📌 For the chocolate coating:
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips (dark, milk, or white—your choice)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (for smooth dipping)
How to Make Nutella-Stuffed Cookie Dough Truffles
Step 1: Heat-Treat Your Flour (Super Important!)
- Spread your flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes, or microwave it in 30-second intervals until it reaches 165°F.
- Why? Because raw flour can have bacteria. Don’t skip this step unless you enjoy playing food poisoning roulette.
Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough
- Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the vanilla extract and mix.
- Slowly add the heat-treated flour, then mix in the milk until you get that perfect dough texture.
- Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
Step 3: Prepare the Nutella Filling
- Scoop small dollops of Nutella onto a parchment-lined plate and freeze for about 15 minutes.
- This makes them easier to stuff into the cookie dough without turning into a gooey mess.
Step 4: Stuff & Roll
- Scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it in your hand, and place a frozen Nutella center inside.
- Roll it into a ball, making sure the Nutella stays hidden inside.
- Repeat until all truffles are ready.
Step 5: Chocolate Coating Time
- Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between.
- Dip each cookie dough truffle into the melted chocolate and let excess drip off.
- Place on parchment paper and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Step 6: Devour
- Try to pace yourself, but let’s be real—you’re eating at least 3 immediately.
How to Customize These Bad Boys
🔥 Peanut Butter Lover? – Swap Nutella for peanut butter or Biscoff spread.
🔥 Extra Crunch? – Add chopped nuts or crushed Oreos to the chocolate coating.
🔥 White Chocolate Vibes? – Use white chocolate instead of dark for a different twist.
🔥 Salty-Sweet Perfection? – Sprinkle a bit of sea salt on top for that gourmet touch.
🔥 More Texture? – Throw in crushed pretzels for that sweet & salty magic.
Basically, go wild. There are no rules.
FAQs – Because You’re Probably Wondering…
1. How long do these last?
These truffles stay fresh in the fridge for up to a week. But, let’s be real, they won’t last that long.
2. Can I freeze them?
Yes! Store them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. Just let them sit at room temp for a few minutes before eating.
3. What if I don’t have coconut oil?
No problem! You can use vegetable oil or just melt the chocolate on its own. The oil just makes the coating smoother.
4. Can I skip heat-treating the flour?
Technically yes, but it’s risky. Heat-treat it. It takes 5 minutes, and no one wants to get sick over a dessert.
5. What’s the best way to dip them in chocolate?
Use a fork or toothpick to dunk them in the chocolate and tap off the excess. Don’t just throw them in like a savage.
6. Can I make these dairy-free?
Yep! Use dairy-free butter, chocolate, and almond milk. Boom—vegan-friendly truffles.
