Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup mini chocolate chips

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup dark chocolate chips (for coating)

1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for a smoother chocolate finish)

Instructions
 

Cream the Base: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Continue mixing for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined.

    Add the Flavoring: Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until thoroughly incorporated, allowing the delightful aroma to infuse the batter.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour and salt to the butter mixture. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the ingredients together until just combined—be cautious not to overmix to maintain a soft texture.

        Incorporate the Chocolate: Carefully fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough for delightful bursts of chocolate in every bite.

          Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes. This chilling step allows the dough to firm up, making it easier to shape later.

            Shape the Truffles: Once chilled, use a tablespoon to scoop out portions of the dough. Roll each portion between your palms to form a smooth, round ball. Place the formed truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

              Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be cautious not to overheat the chocolate.

                Coat the Truffles: Using a fork or a toothpick, carefully dip each cookie dough ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

                  Chill Again for Setting: Once all truffles are coated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for another 15-30 minutes, allowing the chocolate to set firmly over the dough balls.

                    Serve & Enjoy: Once the chocolate coating has hardened, your exquisite Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles are ready to serve! Enjoy them right away, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
