These cookie dough truffles make a nice snack or dessert. I like making a large batch and storing them in the freezer for whenever I am craving cookies and chocolate.

Ingredients

  • Almond flour
  • Maple syrup
  • Coconut oil
  • Dark chocolate chips

Almond flour: The cookie dough uses superfine almond flour to give it a cookie dough texture that is safe to eat without baking. Make sure to use superfine almond flour which has a texture that is finer than regular almond flour and is closer to regular flour consistency.

Maple syrup: Maple syrup is used to sweeten and bind the cookie dough.

Coconut oil: Coconut oil also helps to thicken and bind the cookie dough and gives the dough a soft texture. You can use refined or unrefined coconut oil.

Dark chocolate chips: The cookie dough is studded with chocolate chips. Chocolate chips are also melted so that the cookie dough can be coated in chocolate.

How to Make No Bake Cookie Dough Truffles

  • The almond flour, maple syrup and coconut oil are mixed together until a thick dough forms. Some of the chocolate chips are added in.
  • Scoop the cookie dough, roll into balls, and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place into the freezer until the balls are frozen solid.Cookie dough in a glass bowl and then rolled into balls on a baking sheet
  • Melt the remaining chocolate until smooth. Dip the frozen balls in melted chocolate. If desired, you can add chocolate drizzles or other toppings for decoration. Place the truffles into the fridge until the coating is set.

Texture and Sweetness

The truffles have a firm chocolate exterior and a soft cookie dough interior. They are sweet but not super sweet. You can always adjust the amount of syrup and chocolate chips to make the cookie dough truffles sweeter. You can also use a sweeter chocolate, such as semisweet or milk chocolate to make the truffles sweeter.

Expert Tips

  • Make sure to use maple syrup and not honey. Honey does not thicken the cookie dough the same way that maple syrup does.
  • You can use mini chocolate chips instead of regular-sized chocolate chips for the cookie dough. I did mini chocolate chips because I like how the smaller chips look.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (140g) superfine blanched almond flour
  • 3 tbsp (1.5 fl oz/44ml) maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp (1.5 fl oz/44ml) melted coconut oil
  • 2 1/4 cups (382g) mini dark chocolate chips, divided, can also use regular sized chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Line a small baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add almond flour, maple syrup and coconut oil. Mix until you have a dough. The dough shouldn't be too sticky, but if you pinch some of it together, it should hold its form. If your dough seems too dry and crumbly, add a little more maple syrup or coconut oil. Stir in 1/4 cup (42g) mini chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed.
  • Use a 1 tbsp cookie scoop to scoop out balls. Squeeze each dough piece between your palms a few times to compact it and then roll them into smooth balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 60 minutes, or until frozen solid.
  • Place the remaining dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each with a silicone spatula, until melted and smooth. (Alternatively, melt the chocolate on the stove using the double boiler method.) If you prefer a thinner, softer chocolate coating, you can stir 2-3 tsp coconut oil to the melted chocolate.
  • Use your favorite dipping tool to dip the cookie dough balls in chocolate. Let the excess drip off, then place back on the parchment-lined tray. Try to wipe off any excess chocolate that puddles when you place them on parchment paper. If desired, you can add chocolate drizzles for decoration or other toppings for decoration.
  • Place the truffles into the fridge until coating is set. The truffles are then ready to eat. Store any uneaten truffles in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

  • Chocolate note: I used dark chocolate to keep these healthier but you can use whatever chocolate type you prefer such as semisweet, milk or white chocolate.
  • I used Amazon Grocery Superfine Almond Flour* and Nutiva Coconut Oil* to make these.
  • *These product links are affiliate links. This means I earn a commission from qualifying purchases.
  • Estimated nutrition assumes 1.5 cups of chocolate used for coating since not all of the chocolate ends up on the truffles. Estimated nutrition will vary if you add coconut oil to the melted chocolate.
