Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (whole milk or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, heat-treated
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- Festive sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Heat-treat the flour by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking at 350°F (180°C) for 5 minutes. Let it cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the cooled flour to the butter mixture, stirring until a dough forms. The consistency should be soft but not sticky.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
- Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough. Roll each portion into a ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the dough balls for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each dough ball in melted chocolate. Place back on the parchment paper and add sprinkles immediately before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate the truffles for another 15 minutes to set the chocolate coating.
