Monster Cookie Dough Truffles Recipe

Introduction

Monster Cookie Dough Truffles are a deliciously indulgent treat combining creamy cookie dough with chocolate and colorful candies. These bite-sized truffles are perfect for snacking or sharing at parties.

Ingredients

• 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (heat treated)
• 1/2 cup quick cook oats
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup peanut butter morsels
• 1/2 cup milk chocolate M&Ms
• 12 ounces Ghirardelli dark chocolate wafers (melted)
• Sprinkles (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together for 2 to 3 minutes until creamy. Add the brown sugar and heat-treated flour, then continue beating until fully combined. Gently fold in the oats, mini chocolate chips, peanut butter morsels, and milk chocolate M&Ms.
2. Step 2: Using a one tablespoon scoop, drop the cookie dough onto a parchment paper-lined, freezer-safe cookie sheet. Freeze the dough balls for about 2 hours until firm.
3. Step 3: Once frozen, dip each truffle into the melted dark chocolate wafers using a toothpick. Tap the dipped truffle gently on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. While still wet, add sprinkles if desired. Place truffles back on parchment to set.

Tips & Variations

• Heat treat flour before use by microwaving it in a bowl for 1 minute to eliminate any bacteria, ensuring safe raw cookie dough consumption.
• Swap peanut butter morsels for white chocolate chips or butterscotch chips for a different flavor profile.
• If you prefer a crunchier texture, add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the dough.
• Use different types of candy or add rainbow sprinkles inside the dough for a colorful surprise.

Storage

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months. To enjoy, allow frozen truffles to soften slightly at room temperature before serving. Reheat is not recommended as chocolate coating may melt unevenly.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of heat-treated flour?

It’s best to use heat-treated flour to ensure any potential bacteria are eliminated when eating raw dough. You can heat-treat regular flour by microwaving it for about 1 minute or baking it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.

What can I substitute for the cream cheese?

Cream cheese adds creaminess and tang to the dough. If you don’t have it, you can try using mascarpone or Greek yogurt, but texture and flavor may vary slightly.

Cookie Dough Truffles

• 4 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
• 3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
• 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour, heat treated
• 1/2 cup Quick Cook Oats
• 1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips
• 1/2 cup Peanut Butter Morsels
• 1/2 cup Milk Chocolate M&Ms

Chocolate Coating & Garnish

• 12 ounces Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Wafers, melted
• Sprinkles, optional for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the cookie dough mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and cream cheese together for 2-3 minutes until creamy and smooth. Then beat in the light brown sugar and heat-treated all-purpose flour until fully combined. Fold in the quick cook oats, mini chocolate chips, peanut butter morsels, and milk chocolate M&Ms evenly throughout the mixture.
2. Shape and freeze the truffles: Using a one tablespoon scoop, drop dollops of the cookie dough mixture onto a parchment paper lined, freezer-safe cookie sheet. Place the sheet in the freezer and freeze the truffles for about 2 hours until firm and chilled.
3. Dip and decorate the truffles: Once frozen, use a toothpick to dip each truffle into the melted dark chocolate wafers coating them completely. Tap the toothpick on the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate. While the chocolate is still wet, add sprinkles on top if desired for decoration. Allow the truffles to set completely before serving.

Notes

• Heat treating the flour is essential to make it safe to consume raw in cookie dough. Spread flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, then let it cool.
• If you don’t have quick cook oats, you can pulse regular oats slightly in a food processor to achieve a similar texture.
• Store the finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them firm and fresh. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
• Swap out the peanut butter morsels or M&Ms for other favorite mix-ins like chopped nuts or different candy pieces for customization.
• This recipe requires no baking — it’s a simple no-cook treat excellent for warm days or quick desserts.
