Serves: 24 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup cookie butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Add vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until a soft cookie dough forms.
- Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten into a small disc.
- Place a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of cookie butter in the center of each dough disc.
- Carefully fold and seal the edges of the dough around the cookie butter, ensuring complete coverage.
- Roll each stuffed dough ball between your palms to create smooth, uniform truffles.
- Place truffles on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle into melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage.
- Tap off excess chocolate and return truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Allow chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate for faster setting, approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- Chill the truffles before dipping in chocolate to prevent them from falling apart.
- Use a fork when dipping in chocolate to allow excess chocolate to drip off easily.
- For a professional look, tap the truffle gently on the bowl's edge to create a smooth chocolate coating.
- If the cookie butter is too firm, warm it slightly to make it more manageable.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best melting and flavor.
- Don't overmix the dough to keep the truffles tender and soft.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and texture.
- For variations, try different types of chocolate for coating or sprinkle with sea salt.
- Let truffles come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.
