Chocolate Chip Cookie Butter Truffles

What do you get when you combine chocolate chip cookie butter with chocolate and cream into a silky smooth chocolate truffle filling? Rich & decadent chocolate chip cookie butter truffles! These little bites of heaven use just a few ingredients, require no baking, and dress to impress with the easiest homemade chocolate chip cookie butter. Now you might be thinking… Lindsey, cookie butter is made with Speculoos cookies! And yes, that is true. Traditional cookie butter is made with Speculoos cookies, which are made with warm winter spices, and originate from Europe. In this recipe, however, we’ll be taking our own spin on cookie butter by using chocolate chip cookies. Traditional cookie butter, however, is utterly delicious and if you haven’t tried Speculoos cookie butter, I highly recommend it too. 🙂

This recipe for chocolate chip cookie butter truffles comes to you in partnership with Tate’s Bake Shop. We will use Tate’s Bake Shop Signature Chocolate Chip Cookies to make the cookie butter! They are delicious thin and crispy cookies, and they make the perfect chocolate chip cookie butter.

Equipment Needed for Chocolate Chip Cookie Butter Truffles

  • Food Processor – We’ll use the food processor to process the cookies, milk, and butter into a super smooth cookie butter!
  • Small Mixing Bowl – For melting the chocolate to dip the truffle filling into.
  • Small – Medium Stovepot – This will be used for heating the homemade cookie butter, cream, and chocolate into the truffle filling.
  • Rubber Spatula – We will need this to mix the truffle filling.
  • Cookie Scoop – To scoop the truffle filling into even sized balls. The lever in the cookie scoop also helps to easily release the filling from the scoop.
  • Parchment Paper – Parchment paper is what we will rest the chocolate-dipped truffles on so that they don’t stick while the melted chocolate coating hardens back up in the refrigerator!

Ingredients Needed

For the Chocolate Chip Cookie Butter:

  • 1 package Tate’s Bake Shop Signature Chocolate Chip Cookies (12 cookies total)
  • 6 Tablespoons Whole Milk
  • 2 teaspoons Unsalted Butter
  • Pinch of Sea Salt

For the Truffle Filling:

  • 1 Cup Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookie Butter
  • 2 Ounces Semisweet Baking Chocolate
  • 1/4 Cup Heavy Cream

For Dipping:

  • 1 Cup Baking Chocolate of choice – I recommend dark chocolate if you prefer rich truffles, and semisweet or even milk chocolate for a lighter taste!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Butter Truffle Texture

These truffles are smooth! They’ve got a chocolate shell on the outside and an incredibly rich smooth inside. They embody all things decadence.

Can I just eat the Chocolate Chip Cookie Butter on its own?

You sure can! This chocolate chip cookie butter can also very well be enjoyed on its own, by the spoonful, or in any other creative way you wish to use it. 🙂

How to store Cookie Butter Truffles

Store these Chocolate Chip Cookie butter Truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Do I really need to chill the filling for hours?

YES. Definitely, yes. This is debatably the most important step in the recipe. In step 6 in the recipe instructions below, we allow the truffle mixture to chill for at least 3 hours, even overnight if you’d like! This is because as the mixture chills in the refrigerator, it solidifies back into a thick smooth truffle filling. If you don’t let the mixture cool for long enough, it wont roll into truffles and you’ll be left with a sad chocolate mess. Who wants that?!

Cooling & covering the filling before refrigerating

A basic rule of food safety is not to put very hot food into the refrigerator. Simply wait for the mixture to cool to room temperature after removing it from the stovetop before placing it in the fridge. Additionally, cover the bowl of truffle filling with plastic wrap once it has cooled and before placing it into the refrigerator.

Ingredients

  • Chocolate Chip Cookie Butter
  • 1 Package

  • Tate’s Bake Shop Signature Chocolate Chip Cookies
  • (12 total cookies)

  • 6 Tablespoons

  • Whole Milk
  • 2 tsp

  • Unsalted Butter
  • Pinch of Sea Salt

  • Truffle Filling
  • 1 Cup Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookie Butter

  • 2 Oz Semisweet Baking Chocolate (see notes above to alternative chocolate choices!)

  • 1/4 Cup Heavy Cream

  • Outer Chocolate Shell
  • 1 Cup Baking Chocolate of choice – see note above

Directions

  • Begin first by removing all 12 Tate’s Bake Shop Signature Chocolate Chip Cookies from the package and add them to the food processor.
  • Process the cookies for about 1 minute until they are fully broken down. You may need to switch between a consistent process and pulsing the food processor, but this step of breaking down the cookie will not take too long!
  • Next, add the whole milk, butter, and salt into the food processor with the processed cookies and turn the food processor on once again. Let the milk and cookies process for about 30 seconds. Stop the food processor and scrape down the sides, then process again for another 30 – 60 seconds until fully smooth.
  • Then, measure out 1 cup of the homemade chocolate chip cookie butter. Add it to a stovetop pot with the 2 ounces of baking chocolate and 1/4 cup heavy cream.
  • Over low heat, heat the pot of cookie butter, chocolate, and heavy cream, lightly stirring consistently until ingredients become smooth and homogenous. This mixture will be the truffle filling, and it will solidify into a thick smooth filling as it cools!
  • For this next step, remove the pot from the stove and pour the truffle filling mixture into a heat-safe bowl. Allow mixture to cool and then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 3 hours, longer if possible! **Do not cover the mixture with plastic wrap until it has cooled to room temp.
  • Once the truffle filling has solidified into a thick, smooth texture and chilled for 3 hours or longer, scoop the filling with a standard cookie scoop. Once scooped, place onto a plate or pan lined with parchment paper. Continue until all truffle filling has been scooped.
  • Place the scooped truffles back into the refrigerator. While those are chilling, add the baking chocolate for the chocolate shell into a heat-safe bowl and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between until fully melted.
  • Let the chocolate cool for a few minutes until lukewarm and then dip each scooped ball of truffle filling in until fully immersed and coated. **Important: if the chocolate is hot or too warm, it will melt the truffle filling when dipped.
  • Then, place the chocolate-dipped truffle and back onto the parchment paper. Refrigerate for another hour or overnight to allow the chocolate to harden.

I live and die by breakfast food, coffee, peanut butter, and dessert. It's pretty much my blood type at this point.
