- 1 cup all-purpose flour - ½ cup unsalted butter, softened - ¾ cup brown sugar, packed - ¼ cup granulated sugar - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - ¼ teaspoon salt - 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 8 cookies) - ½ cup mini chocolate chips - 8 oz white chocolate, for coating - Extra crushed Oreos for topping Gathering these ingredients is the first step to making Oreo Cookie Dough Truffles. Each one plays a key role in creating that rich and decadent flavor. The all-purpose flour gives the dough its structure. It helps bind everything together. Softened unsalted butter makes the dough creamy and rich. The brown sugar adds depth with its caramel notes, while granulated sugar gives a perfect sweetness. Vanilla extract brings warmth to the mix. Salt balances the flavors, making them pop. Crushed Oreo cookies provide that iconic taste and texture we love. Mini chocolate chips add little bursts of chocolate throughout the truffles. Finally, we coat the truffles in melted white chocolate. This gives them a beautiful finish and a sweet crunch. Topping with extra crushed Oreos adds a fun touch and a bit of crunch. With these ingredients ready, you're set to create a treat everyone will love! {{ingredient_image_1}} - Creaming the Butter and Sugars: Start by taking a medium bowl. Add the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Use a mixer to blend them until the mix is light and fluffy. This step makes your truffles rich and adds a good texture. - Mixing in Wet Ingredients: Next, add the vanilla extract and salt. Mix these in until everything is well combined. This will enhance the flavor in your dough. - Gradually Adding Flour: Slowly add the all-purpose flour to your wet mix. Stir until you form a crumbly dough. Make sure not to rush; mixing too fast can make it tough. - Folding in Cookies and Chocolate Chips: Now, fold in the crushed Oreo cookies and mini chocolate chips. Use a spatula to ensure they are evenly mixed throughout the dough. This gives your truffles a delightful crunch. - Chilling the Dough: Cover your dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for about 30 minutes. This step firms it up and makes shaping easier. - Shaping the Truffles: After chilling, take a small scoop or your hands. Form the dough into small balls, about one inch wide. Place the balls on a lined baking sheet. - Melting the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate. Do this in 20-second intervals, stirring in between. This keeps the chocolate smooth and prevents burning. - Coating the Truffles: Dip each dough ball into the melted white chocolate. Make sure they are fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. - Adding the Oreo Topping: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle crushed Oreos on top. This adds flavor and makes your truffles look beautiful. - Final Chilling: Place the coated truffles back on the baking sheet. Refrigerate them for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens. This makes them ready for serving. - Overmixing the Dough: When you mix the dough, stop as soon as it comes together. Overmixing can make it tough. You want a nice, soft texture that melts in your mouth. - Inconsistent Truffle Sizes: Use a small cookie scoop to keep truffles uniform. This ensures even coating and a great look. If they are different sizes, they will not set the same way. - Method Options: You can melt chocolate in a microwave or a double boiler. For the microwave, heat in 20-second bursts. Stir after each interval to avoid burning. If you use a double boiler, keep water simmering but not boiling. Stir gently until melted. - Decorative Arrangements: Place truffles on a pretty platter. Show off the crushed Oreos on top. You can even add some sprinkles for color. This makes them eye-catching. - Gift Packaging Ideas: Package truffles in clear bags tied with ribbons. Use fun tags to add a personal touch. They make great gifts for friends or family. Pro Tips Chill for Better Handling: Make sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. This will make it easier to scoop and roll into balls without sticking to your hands. Perfect Chocolate Coating: When melting the white chocolate, ensure it is completely smooth before dipping. Stir it well between intervals to prevent overheating and burning. Customize the Toppings: Feel free to get creative with the toppings! You can use colorful sprinkles, crushed nuts, or even drizzle with dark chocolate for added flavor. Storage Tips: Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last up to a week, but they are best enjoyed fresh! {{image_2}} You can mix things up with different flavors. Try making chocolate cookie dough truffles. Just swap in cocoa powder for half of the flour. This change gives a rich, chocolatey taste. Another fun option is peanut butter Oreo truffles. Replace half the butter with creamy peanut butter. This twist adds a nutty flavor that goes great with Oreos. When it comes to coatings, you have choices. Dark chocolate adds a bold taste. It pairs well with the sweet cookie dough. On the other hand, milk chocolate gives a sweeter, creamier touch. You can also drizzle chocolate on top. Use a fork to create pretty lines of chocolate. This adds a nice visual appeal to your truffles. Boost your truffles with fun add-ins. Sprinkles or nuts can add crunch and color. Try colorful sprinkles for a festive look. Chopped nuts bring a nice texture and flavor. You can also use other cookie crumbs. Swap Oreos for graham crackers or chocolate chip cookies. This change gives a new spin on the classic truffle. To keep your Oreo cookie dough truffles fresh, place them in an airtight container. Refrigerate them for up to one week. If you want to enjoy them longer, freezing is a great option. For best freezing results, make sure the truffles are fully chilled first. Lay them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze them for about one hour until solid. Then, transfer the truffles to a freezer-safe bag or container. This helps save space and keeps them safe from freezer burn. To thaw frozen truffles, take them out of the freezer and let them sit at room temperature. This usually takes about 30 minutes. Avoid using a microwave to thaw, as this can make the chocolate coating melt or become messy. Enjoy your truffles once they are soft and ready to eat! No, you cannot bake these truffles. They are meant to be eaten raw. The dough is safe because we heat-treat the flour. If you want a baked treat, try making cookies instead. These truffles last about one week in the fridge. For best taste, store them in an airtight container. If you want to keep them longer, freeze them for up to three months. Yes, you can use gluten-free flour. Almond flour or a gluten-free blend works well. Just make sure it’s a cup-for-cup substitute. This way, everyone can enjoy these delicious truffles! You now know how to make Oreo Cookie Dough Truffles, from mixing ingredients to storage. Start with simple steps like creaming butter and sugars. Avoid common mistakes like overmixing to keep your truffles perfect. Consider variations for extra fun, like peanut butter or chocolate. Store your truffles well in the fridge or freeze them for later. Enjoy these treats as gifts or at parties. With this guide, you are ready to impress everyone with your delicious creations!
