These egg-free Cookie Dough Truffles are the perfect bite-sized treat!

I LOVE chocolate chip cookie dough. Specifically this chocolate chip cookie dough. It’s honestly the best thing ever. No shame that I eat it by the spoonful when I’m making those cookies. It’s almost better than the baked version. So, I adapted my favourite cookie dough recipe for these cookie dough truffles.

Is it safe to eat raw cookie dough?

This edible cookie dough is an eggless version that is totally safe to eat. But has anyone actually died of eating raw cookie dough? Like, was it 100% certain that was the cause?? I wanna know. ANYhow, many people understandably frown at the raw egg aspect, and eating raw eggs can be dangerous to some, so this version is completely egg-free.

If you’re concerned about eating the raw flour too — you can bake the flour on a baking sheet at 350F for 5 minutes. This is said to kill off any lingering bacteria that may be present.

How do you make edible cookie dough?

This edible cookie dough is super easy to make — any standard cookie recipe would do, really. Just scoop it into small balls, freeze, then dip into melted chocolate and you’re done.

You have to do the chocolate dipping rather quickly since the cookie dough balls are frozen and the chocolate will start to harden right away. Basically, toss the cookie dough balls into a bowl of melted chocolate, one at a time, roll them around with a fork, scoop them out, and tap off the excess.

The chocolate dipping can be done with a fork, or if you’re crazy like me, you’ll go out and buy a chocolate dipping set for this specific purpose. I’m sure to use it again at *some* point in the future…

Chocolate covered egg-free cooke dough

I used both dark and milk chocolate for dipping and drizzle, as well as some chocolate flakes I picked up while I was looking for the dipping forks. I actually went to the store to buy a round cooling rack, which they didn’t have, and ended up buying all these other things that I “needed”.

Those chocolate flakes though? Pretty happy with that purchase. These are just as delicious with no chocolate coating at all, so if you’re feeling lazy, you can totally skip that.

These cookie dough truffles are a delicious (and safe) way to enjoy the very best guilty pleasure. Cookie dough in a variety of flavours and textures which is sure to appeal to everyone!

Tips for making these Cookie Dough Truffles

  • These cookie dough truffles are egg-free and safe to eat. 
  • If you’re concerned about consuming raw flour you can bake the flour for 5mins at 350F. Cool completely before use.
  • You can skip dipping them in chocolate if you’re just looking for an edible cookie dough recipe.
  • I used a chocolate dipping fork to dip the chilled cookie dough balls into the chocolate.

    The filling is perfect but I had an issue with the chocolate coating. I melted chocolate chips and it was way too thick to use. I added a few tablespoons of melted coconut oil to the chocolate and it made coating the truffles much easier! I will definitely made these again but with that one small change.

      Hi Jessica! What type of chocolate were you using? My chocolate is quite thin when melted but it might depend on brand/type. Glad you liked these though!!

    Good recipe. The cookie dough tastes good but is very grainy. Add one more tbs. of milk and your good to go. Also it helps A TON if you freeze the cookie dough for an hour before rolling into balls and dipping it into the chocolate. It also makes less of a mess to clean up, but great recipe.

    Hi there! Came across this recipe a few weeks ago and I can’t wait to make them!! They’d be an awesome Christmas gift for teachers. Just a question, how long can we freeze them for? If I make them Monday, when is the latest I’d be able to give them? I like preparing early. They look delicious, thank you for the awesome recipe!

      Hi Li! You can freeze them for months, really, as long as they are in something airtight. If they are dipped in chocolate though, you might get some condensation on that, so I’d freeze them before dipping. They should keep about a week or so in the fridge though!

    Hi Olivia,
    These look amazing and can not wait to try them. Question can I just use Peanut Butter in place of the butter to make them Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip?
    Thanks,
    Toni

      Hi Toni! That should work totally fine, but the pb could make them a bit softer if you swap it 1 for 1 with the butter. This might not be an issue since they are chilled anyhow, but if you wanted to play it safe you could start with replacing just half the butter with pb. Let me know how they turn out!

    Can these be left out/stored out of the fridge? And if so, for how long? I keep reading that they should be refrigerated but I wanted to make them for a candy jar for a party. Thanks!

      August 24, 2018 at 5:16 PM

      Hi Val! How long are you wanting to leave them out? I think they should be fine for a few hours. One thing to note is that since the chocolate isn’t tempered the might stick to each other if stacked in a candy jar.

          Hi Anneris! You do not bake these, and yes, they have flour. If you’re concerned, you can bake the flour alone at 350F for 5mins to kill any bacteria.

    No problem at all :). Also, I can directly half the recipe and it will come out perfectly fine? And when it’s drying will the chocolate drop off?

    Reply
    • Olivia says

      January 21, 2016 at 8:32 AM

      Yes, cutting the recipe in half would be perfectly fine! I’m not totally sure what you mean by drop off… You should tape off any excess chocolate after you’ve dipped them. The chocolate will stick to the cookie dough once it sets :). Hope that helps!
