Like most people, I enjoy eating cookie dough more than the actual Chocolate Chip Cookies and once I start eating, I just can't get myself to stop. Today's little bites are just as delicious as my Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bars (Eggless). Both are a hit with family and friends and a few of these always end up in my annual Homemade Christmas Cookie Boxes too.

Key ingredients for edible cookie dough balls
- Butter- This should be unsalted and at room temperature.
- Sugar- Both, granulated sugar and brown sugar are used in this recipe. If you are out of this ingredient in your pantry, then you can just make Homemade Brown Sugar (2 Ingredients). If your brown sugar happens to be rock solid, then check out this post on How to Soften Brown Sugar.
- Flour- You will need to use all-purpose flour. Be sure to heat treat it to make it safe.
- Vanilla extract- Use the best quality you can find for overall best flavor. Vanilla bean paste can also be used.
- Milk- I like to use whole milk but 2% can be used, if that's all you have on hand.
- Chocolate chips- Regular or mini size will both work well. I like to use semisweet but you can use milk or dark.
Variations
- For the Christmas holiday season- Dip the balls in melted chocolate and then sprinkle with some crushed candy canes.
- Replace chocolate chips with other candies- Such as mini m&m or Reese's pieces or chopped up candy bars. This is a favorite among kids, especially at birthday parties.
- If you like sweet and salty flavor combination- Dip the balls in melted chocolate and then sprinkle high quality sea salt.
- For a vegan version- Replace regular milk with soy milk, almond milk or coconut milk and replace butter with vegan margarine and replace regular chocolate chips with vegan chocolate chips.
- For gluten free version- Use gluten free flour instead of all-purpose flour. You may need to add a little more milk because this type of flour absorbs more liquid than all-purpose.
- For Easter holidays- Shape this dough into oval egg shapes and then dip them in melted chocolate and cover them in sprinkles.
- Turn these into cookie dough pops- Dip the end of lollipop stick in melted chocolate and then push it into a chilled ball. Refrigerate for 5 minutes and then dip each pop in melted chocolate. Place on a sheet of wax paper and allow the chocolate to set. These would look very similar to my Cake Pops.
- Dip in melted white chocolate- Instead of semisweet chocolate for a different flavor profile.
How to make easy eggless chocolate chip cookie dough truffles recipe from scratch?
1. Mix ingredients- This includes butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla.
2. Add flour- And mix until you have a crumbly mixture.
3. Add milk- Mix until you have a soft dough.
4. Add chocolate chips- Mix until they are evenly distributed and then chill dough.
5. Form balls- Using small portions of the dough.
6. Dip balls in melted chocolate- Until fully coated. Then place them on a sheet of wax paper to allow the chocolate to set.
Tips and techniques
- Use unsalted butter- Because salted butter makes the end result very salty.
- What size chocolate chips to use? The regular and mini ones both work well. It's your choice.
- Don't add too much milk- Because that will make the dough very sticky and it makes it very hard to form balls.
- If the dough ever becomes too sticky- Chill it for 30-40 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Pease heat treat the flour- To make it safe.
I added a packet of Vital Proteins collagen peptides into the dough to give it a boost of nutrition. That doesn't obviously transform them into Energy Balls but I feel less guilty this way. Since the powder is colorless and flavorless, no one ever knows.
Recipe FAQs
Don't use raw eggs. Also, be sure to heat treat your flour by spreading it in a cookie tray and cooking at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes.
There is not enough liquid in the mixture. Add more milk and mix to bring it together.
Spread a thin layer of flour on a baking tray and heat in oven at 300 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until it reaches a temperature of 160 degrees F.
Storage
- Refrigerate- In a sealed container for up to 5 days.
- Freeze- You can freeze the balls in a sealed container as long as you don't dip them in melted chocolate first.
- Room temperature- These can stay out for 2-3 hours.
- Make ahead- These can easily be made 1-2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.

If you eliminate thhe protein powder, does anyrhing else need to be adjusted?
Abeer Rizvi
You might need to add about 1-2 tablespoons of additional flour. Otherwise, nothing needs to be changed.

can the protein powder be left out of these truffles or replaced with something else

You can just omit it or replace it with some extra flour, if batter is hard to handle.
