What You’ll Need
- 1 package (13 oz) ChipMates Original Chocolate Chip Cookies (or any chocolate chip cookies of your choice)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (for easier mixing)
- 2 cups chocolate chips (milk, dark, or semi-sweet, depending on your preference)
- 1 Tablespoon coconut oil (helps create a smooth chocolate coating; can substitute with vegetable oil if needed)
How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Truffles
- Grind the cookies: In a food processor, pulse the cookies until they turn into fine crumbs. (No food processor? Place cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.)
- Mix the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and softened cream cheese. Fold together until fully incorporated and the mixture holds together when pressed.
- Form the truffles: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. Place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze: Freeze the truffles for 15-20 minutes, or until firm. This makes them easier to dip in chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 15-second increments, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each truffle in the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Set the chocolate: Refrigerate (or freeze) the truffles for 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is firm and set.
- Serve and enjoy: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage. Enjoy chilled!
Creative Topping Ideas for Your Truffles
Take your Chocolate Chip Cookie Truffles to the next level with fun toppings! After dipping in chocolate, sprinkle with crushed cookies, sea salt, or colorful sprinkles for a festive touch. For a gourmet twist, drizzle with white chocolate or dust with cocoa powder. Pro tip: Add toppings while the chocolate is still wet for the best adhesion.
Perfect Pairings: Serving Suggestions
These truffles are a crowd-pleaser on their own, but they pair beautifully with a cup of coffee, hot cocoa, or a glass of cold milk. Arrange them on a dessert platter with fresh berries or mini marshmallows for a stunning presentation. Perfect for parties or gifting!
Storage Tips to Keep Them Fresh
Store your truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Let them thaw in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before serving for the best texture.
Time-Saving Hacks for Busy Bakers
Short on time? Use pre-made cookie crumbs or a food processor to speed up the grinding process. You can also melt the chocolate in advance and keep it warm in a double boiler while shaping the truffles. Freezing the balls before dipping ensures a smoother, quicker coating process.
Equipment You’ll Need
For this recipe, a food processor is essential for grinding the cookies into fine crumbs. A microwave-safe bowl and parchment-lined baking sheet are must-haves for melting chocolate and setting the truffles. Optional but helpful: A small cookie scoop ensures evenly sized truffles every time.
