- 2 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ pound semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- Mini chocolate chips for garnish
Heat Treat the Flour
Place the flour in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, for about 1½ to 2 minutes total until the flour is warmed through and reaches 160 degrees F. Cool completely before using.
Make the Truffles
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the flour, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla and mix until incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the mixture has firmed up enough to form balls.
Shape the chilled cookie dough mixture into 1-1½ inch balls. Place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Cover loosely, transfer the pan to the freezer and chill for 1-2 hours.
When ready to dip the truffles, melt the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Dip each chilled truffle, one at a time, coating in chocolate and shaking gently to remove the excess. (If at any point during dipping, the cookie dough balls become too soft, return to the freezer to chill for 30 minutes.) Transfer to a wax-paper lined surface. If using mini chocolate chips for garnish, sprinkle on top quickly after dipping each truffle before the chocolate sets.
Once all the truffles have been dipped, store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
