Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, heat treated Heat treated to kill off any bacteria.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp milk or cream Add a splash at a time until the mixture is scoopable.
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips Use mini for smoother rolling.
For the Chocolate Coating
  • 1 cup melted chocolate or candy melts Add a little oil if needed to thin.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat treat the flour by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking at 350°F for 5 to 7 minutes, or microwaving in 30-second bursts until warm. Cool completely.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the heat-treated flour, softened butter, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and milk. Mix until smooth.
  3. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  4. Chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes until firm.
Shaping and Coating
  1. Scoop portions of the chilled dough and roll quickly between your palms to form smooth balls.
  2. Set the rolled balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill again for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Dip each truffle in melted chocolate using a fork, tap off excess, and place back on the parchment.
  4. Let the chocolate coating set in the fridge until firm.

Notes

For best results, chill before rolling the dough. Use a small scoop to ensure even sizing. Do not overheat the chocolate, and top with sprinkles or salt before it sets if desired.
