Directions

Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill to 375ºF.
Place the flour in a small sheet pan or shallow roasting pan and spread out evenly.
Place the pan inside the grill (second shelf) and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF, about 30 minutes, then remove from the grill.
Combine the softened butter and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and whip with the paddle attachment over medium speed until well combined and lightened in color.
With the mixer on a lower speed, add the chocolate milk and vanilla. When incorporated, slowly add the flour and mix briefly, just until everything is mixed. Form the dough into one tablespoon balls and place on a parchment lined sheet pan.
Create a double boiler. Place about an inch of water in a pot. Bring to a boil. Place a bowl over the top of the pot and add the dark chocolate chips to the bowl. Melt gently, stirring occasionally.
Transfer the double boiler with the bowl of melted chocolate to your work surface.
One at a time, coat each cookie dough ball in the chocolate then transfer back to the parchment.
Just before serving, sprinkle the salt and sugar on top.

Recipe Highlights and Insights:

Cookie dough truffles are a decadent, bite-sized treat that combines the nostalgic comfort of cookie dough with a smooth, chocolatey exterior. Made by rolling edible cookie dough—crafted without eggs for safety—into small balls, these indulgent bites are then dipped in melted chocolate or candy coating to form a rich, glossy shell. Often garnished with a drizzle of additional chocolate, sprinkles, or sea salt, they offer a delightful contrast of textures: a soft, creamy center enveloped in a satisfying snap of chocolate. Perfect for parties, gifts, or a sweet craving, cookie dough truffles are easy to make, endlessly customizable with mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, and irresistibly delicious for kids and adults alike.
