🧈 Ingredients
These are the main ingredients, and the quantities can be found in the recipe card below.
- Chocolate: dark chocolate chips, which you can replace with pieces of white or milk chocolate, M&M's, Oreo, Kit Kat, etc...
- Flour: wheat flour. If you don't want to cook it, you can replace it with flax, hazelnut, almond, cashew or coconut flour, as these can be eaten raw.
- Butter: soft and softened, it will be easier to incorporate into the dough.
- Sugars: brown and white sugar.
- Vanilla: without vanilla, your dough will lack flavor, and it's vanilla that gives it its aroma. You can use vanilla extract or vanilla powder (or cinnamon).
- Milk: it provides the softness that eggs usually add to traditional cookie doughs.

✨ 100% edible and safe
Eggs add the fluffiness of traditional cookies. But raw, they can be dangerous to your health, due to bacteria such as salmonella. That's why it's best to remove them.
Wheat flour can contain E.Coli bacteria (which has unfortunately been in the news recently...), which can cause food poisoning of varying degrees of severity. Fortunately, this bacterium dies when the flour is baked at 350°F/175°C minimum.
✅ Vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free version
- To make this recipe vegan and dairy-free, replace the butter with vegetable margarine and the cow's milk with vegetable milk (soy, almond, hazelnut, oat, etc.). Also check that your chocolate is vegan.
- To make this recipe gluten-free, replace the all-purpose flour with flax, hazelnut, almond, cashew or coconut flour. Check that your chocolate and vanilla extract do not contain any.
🥰 Chef's tips
- Don't skip the flour-baking step. It's tempting because it allows you to go faster, but for health reasons, it's not recommended at all.
- Sieve the flour after cooking : it may have formed a few small balls. So pass it through a sieve, to avoid ending up with balls of flour in your cookie dough, which won't be very pleasant in the mouth.
- Let the flour cool before adding it to your cookie dough, otherwise it will melt the chocolate chips.
- Blend the butter and sugars well, and you'll get a great texture.
- Use chocolate chips inside the cookie dough: I've made cookie dough with chocolate chunks before, but the chips are more regular, especially in these truffles!
💡 Frequently Asked Questions
No! To make it safe to eat raw, I removed the baking soda and eggs, and lightly cooked the flour. But then, cooked, the result won't be good. If you want to make cookies, try this great recipe for easy, moist dark chocolate and praline cookies or these triple chocolate cookies.
❄️Storage / freezing
In airtight tupperware, they can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. They may harden a little, as the butter will solidify, so don't hesitate to take them out a little before tasting them.
You can also freeze them and keep them in the freezer for up to 2 months.

📖 Recette
Cookie dough truffles
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter softened (85g)
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar (45g)
- 3 tablespoons white sugar (35g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (155g)
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chips (135g)
- ¼ cup milk (60g)
- 6 oz dark chocolate (170g)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F/175°C on natural convection/static heat high and low. Spread the flour on parchment paper and, once the oven is hot, place in the oven for 5-10 minutes, stirring halfway through (it's okay if it gets lumpy), or until it reaches the internal temperature of 166°F/75°C.
- Meanwhile, place the softened butter, brown sugar and white sugar in a bowl. Blend with an electric mixer until the mixture whitens.
- Sift the flour onto a plate and leave to cool completely.
- Add the cold flour and chocolate chips and mix well.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and milk a little at a time (depending on the texture you like, you may add a little more). Place the bowl in the fridge for 10-15 minutes, while you melt the chocolate in a bain-marie.
- Make small balls of cookie dough and dip into the melted chocolate. Place on plates. Place in the fridge for 45 minutes to 1 hour, they should be crisp on the outside.
