These Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles require no baking and are so festive for Christmas with a white chocolate topping and colored sprinkles. The cookie dough batter is safe for consumption with no eggs and microwaved flour.
Edible cookie dough makes a quick and easy filling to this no-bake truffle. Feel free to substitute milk or dark chocolate for the topping on these or use a variety. I love the look of these green and red sprinkles, but you could also sprinkle more mini chocolate chips or pieces of your favorite candies.
It isn’t safe to eat raw flour, so I started this recipe by placing 1 cup of flour in a microwave-safe bowl. I heated the flour in the microwave for around 2 minutes; whisking every 30 seconds to avoid any clumping. I also, added a few tablespoons of milk in place of the typical egg used in cookie dough. Completely safe to lick the beaters this time (or take a big bite when no one is looking)!
After getting all the ingredients mixed together, I threw the cookie dough in the fridge several minutes to ensure it was cool before rolling it into balls. A cookie scoop helps make them round and ensures the balls are all around the same size. Finally, a quick trip to the freezer for around 10 minutes makes the balls easier to work with before dipping them in melted chocolate. I added a bit of canola oil to white chocolate chips before throwing them in the microwave for around 1 minute. Be sure that you stir the chocolate chips every 15-20 seconds to avoid any clumping.
Using a fork for your search and rescue mission, give the chilled cookie dough balls a quick dip in the melted white chocolate. Shake off any excess before placing on parchment paper. Sprinkle your desired topping on immediately before the chocolate hardens. These beauties are ready to eat within minutes and make excellent Christmas gifts!

Why do you microwave the flour?
Holly says
Hi Lindsey! Raw flour may be contaminated with harmful bacteria, so it is a good idea to heat the flour by microwaving or baking it.
