Healthy Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Truffles

© Amy's Healthy Baking
Yields: 24 truffles
Prep Time: 1 hour
Inactive Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
These homemade truffles taste like they came straight from an upscale, fancy chocolate shop — they don’t taste healthy at all! Although it may seem a little strange on paper, the cinnamon-spiced cookie dough filling, velvety dark chocolate coating, and bright pop of flavor from the salt is such an incredible flavor combination. (And a little addictive too!) Leftover truffles will keep for at least 5 days (if not longer!) if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Ingredients 

Instructions

  • Place a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper on a baking tray.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the butter, vanilla extract, and liquid stevia. Stir in the cashew milk, cinnamon, and salt. Add in the oat flour, stirring until just incorporated.
  • Working with a small amount of the mixture at a time, roll into a bite-sized sphere. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  • Place the dark chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. Stir for 1 minute. Continue to heat for 10-second intervals, stirring for 1 minute between each, until the chocolate has completely melted. (I highly recommend keeping it warm while you assemble your truffles. See the Notes below!)
  • Working with one cookie dough sphere at a time, carefully dip it in the melted chocolate using two forks, and let the excess drip off by rocking it between the two forks. Place back onto the wax paper. If using the flaky sea salt, sprinkle a small amount on the top of the dipped truffle. Repeat with the remaining chocolate and cookie dough spheres.
  • Once all 24 truffles have been coated, place them in the freezer for 5-10 minutes (or the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes) or until the chocolate has hardened. Store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.

Notes

IMPORTANT MEASURING NOTE: Remember to measure the flour correctly, using this method or a kitchen scale. (← That’s the one I own and love!) Too much will dry out your cookie dough, and it will be too crumbly to roll. If this happens to you, add more milk 1 teaspoon at a time until the cookie dough comes together. If the cookie dough looks fine when you first mix it together but dries out when you dry to roll it, moisten your fingers and palms with a bit of water before rolling it. (See my blog post above for more tips and information!)
 
OAT FLOUR NOTES: I show you how to make your own oat flour here! For store-bought oat flour, this is my favorite (or this for a gluten-free version). Both of these are so fine and powdery, which gives these truffles the best texture.
 
OTHER FLOUR OPTIONS: Any flour except coconut flour may be substituted for the oat flour. When substituting gluten-free flours, the texture of the cookie dough bites will vary (and typically be grainier).
 
LIQUID STEVIA NOTES: I highly recommend using the liquid stevia! It’s one of my favorite ingredients, and you’ll use it in all of these recipes of mine, too! I buy mine online here because that’s the cheapest price I’ve found. For sweeter bites, increase the liquid stevia by an additional ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon.
 
Many stevia brands and products have different sweetness levels, so they're not always a 1-for-1 substitution. If using a different brand and product than this one that I use, you may need a different amount, and you may need to make other modifications to compensate as well.
 
OTHER SWEETENER OPTIONS: If you really prefer not to use the liquid stevia, then omit it and substitute pure maple syrup, honey, or agave for the milk. Do NOT use milk if using any of these sweeteners! (The cookie dough centers won’t be quite as sweet with any of these substitutions! They’ll be closer to the sweetness level of muffins, rather than cookies.)
 
MILK NOTES: Any milk can be substituted for the unsweetened cashew milk. Make sure your milk is at room temperature! Cold milk will re-solidify your butter or coconut oil.
 
IMPORTANT DARK CHOCOLATE NOTE: Use regular bars of chocolate for the coating, NOT chocolate chips! Chocolate bars melt better and taste smoother than chocolate chips, which often contain a stabilizer to help them hold their shape. I love Ghirardelli and Lindt for this! (Other “milkier” brands like Hershey’s special dark or Cadbury are much thicker when they melt, so I haven’t had good luck with them.)
 
HOW TO KEEP MELTED CHOCOLATE WARM: To keep your bowl of melted chocolate warm, (a) turn on an electric pancake griddle or a metal panini press {I don’t have the former, so this is what I use! mine is no longer sold in stores, but this panini press is very similar to mine!} and (b) place a washcloth that’s been folded in half in between the bottom of your bowl and the electric griddle or metal top of the panini press.
 
If you use this set-up, your bowl of chocolate should stay warm and at the same consistent temperature, which makes coating your truffles cups so much easier. (They’ll also look prettier! If you let the bowl of chocolate sit on your counter and periodically reheat it, your truffles will look speckled.)
 
OPTIONAL FLAKY SEA SALT: This is the flaky sea salt that I use! I usually crush it a bit between my fingers before sprinkling it because the flakes are so big. I’ve also found that it sometimes dissolves in the melted chocolate if you sprinkle it too soon after dipping, so I like to dip about 3 or 4 truffles, then sprinkle them with the sea salt to give the chocolate a bit of time to start setting first. (The salt does dissolve some the longer the truffles are refrigerated.)
 
GLUTEN FREE, DAIRY FREE + VEGAN OPTION: Use certified gluten free flour (like this!) and the coconut oil option or stick-style vegan butter.
