Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (heat-treated for safety)
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or dairy-free like almond milk)
- 1/2 cup (90g) mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- 8 ounces (225g) semisweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Heat-treat the flour by spreading 1 cup (125g) of all-purpose flour on a baking sheet and baking at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Let cool completely before using.
- In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup (115g) softened unsalted butter with 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar and 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons milk until smooth.
- Slowly add the cooled, heat-treated flour to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup (90g) mini chocolate chips and 1 cup (150g) finely chopped fresh strawberries, being careful not to crush the berries.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, roll dough into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill again for 15 minutes.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 8 ounces (225g) chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy.
- Using a fork or toothpick, dip each cookie dough ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place back on parchment paper to set.
- Refrigerate dipped truffles for at least 15 minutes or until chocolate is firm. Serve immediately or store for later.
Notes
Heat-treating the flour is essential for safety since the dough is raw. Chill the dough well to make shaping and dipping easier. Gently fold in strawberries to avoid mushy dough. Use coconut oil in the chocolate for a smooth, shiny coating. If chocolate thickens during dipping, reheat gently. Pat strawberries dry if they release too much juice.
