Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 10 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 pound confectioners’ chocolate
Instructions
- Mix cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth; add flour and mix until incorporated. Sprinkle salt over dough and fold in chocolate chips. Form dough into 1- to 2-inch balls and arrange on a baking sheet. Freeze until set, about 30 minutes.
- Melt confectioners’ chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Dip cookie balls into chocolate and place on a sheet of aluminum foil or waxed paper until hardened, at least 20 minutes.
- If cream cheese isn’t room temperature, place in microwave for 30 seconds.
- There is a potential risk of foodborne illness from the consumption of raw flour.

They are very rich! Everyone who tried them after I made them had a very shocked face and said “Omgosh this is amazing!” I for sure liked them. The ONLY thing I found disappointing was that they’re so rich I couldn’t eat more than one! The only issue I ran into was when I made a homemade double-boiler, my glass bowl on top with the chocolate in it didn’t fit down far enough into the pot with water, and the steam kept burning me.
I made this recipe 2 days ago and they’re delicious! I only did 2c flour and no salt. Super easy!
im in prep now and having alot of fun
These were ok. I love real cookie dough so I thought I’d give these a try. I didn’t think they tasted like I expected they would. Several other people liked them though.
These were yummy! Made exactly as the recipe states. I had a hard time dipping them using the toothpick method that I usually use for dipping candies as the toothpick would break if it hit a chip but other than that it was a great recipe. My daughter loves them! Thanks for the great recipe.
Delicious and pretty. We made these and dipped them in dark chocolate. They have been a hit with anybody who has tried them.
Easy to make & a big hit!!!
I made it just like the recipe but the cheese made it taste really weird and it had a slimy texture.
I thought this was a great recipe and I received great feedback from the various people I shared them with on Valentine’s Day. The only change I made to the recipe was to decrease the flour by 1/4 cup. I got 35 truffles out of the full recipe. They are very rich, but I feel they come very close to tasting like real chocolate chip cookie dough. Thanks for sharing this treat, white_angel!
Recipe Group: Yum yum! Very rich and delicious. I made the ‘dough’ part (used mini chocolate chips), refrigerated overnight, then formed balls and froze overnight. For the chocolate coating I melted plain old milk chocolate chips…it took a whole bag to dip a half recipe.
Recipe Group Selection: 07, February 2015 ~ These were an easy treat to make and share with many people. Everyone liked them, but I personally didn’t care for them. I should have gone with my instincts and used 1/4 cup less flour. The mixture was very thick to mix and I finally had to finish mixing with my hands. I rolled in to 36 balls and froze. They were very easy to dip and add sprinkles for Valentines Day. I used part of them for my Girl’s Night Out treat and boxed the rest for friends and neighbors.
I’m not a big cookie dough fan, but these looked good, and I was intrigued by the cream cheese. They were good! I used a wooden spoon and hand mixed, and it was pretty difficult to mix in the flour. I had to use my hands to mix at the end, and so I left out the last 1/4 cup of flour just because I was getting tired of mixing. They weren’t too sticky when I rolled them into balls. I froze as stated, and they were very easy to dip; I used chocolate almond bark. DS thought they needed a tad more salt to taste like real cookie dough. I made some 2 inch balls and some 1 inch; I prefer the 1 inch, as they are very sweet, and I like the smaller bites. Made for Recipe Group selection.
Made this for Recipe Group…These were VERY good! I halved the recipe but only added about 3/4 cup flour b/c I didn’t want it o be too ‘floury’ tasting. Doing that did make these a little bit stickier to roll, but they worked fine. Very easy to make, and I really liked the little tang from the cream cheese. My little taste testers loved them! I’m not usually a huge fan of cookie dough things, but I really enjoyed these and will def be making them again! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Really surprised by how easy these chocolate chip cookie dough truffles were to make. I scaled this recipe and only made 1/4 of a batch which yielded 14 truffles. To form the truffles, I used my tablespoon size cookie scoop. I used mini-chocolate chips inside the truffles. Instead of using confectionery chocolate, I melted 1/2 cup of regular chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of shortening in the microwave and dipped the frozen truffles. I sprinkled almonds and red and pink candy Valentine hearts over the tops of the truffles before the coating hardened. Thank you, white_angel for sharing your delicious recipe!
Super easy and super delicious. The one thing I think I will change is to add a little less flour next time – the texture is a bit firmer than I thought it should be. Bring the recipe if you take these to a party – you will be asked for it!
I made a half-batch and they turned out beautifully. I used chocolate-flavored almond bark in place of the confectioner’s chocolate, with just a few semi-sweet morsels melted in for that classic chocolate chip cookie taste. Very tasty, but one is more than enough for me! They will be devoured at our Christmas party.
