Why this Recipe Works

Love cookie dough? There’s no egg in this truffle, so you can gobble as many as you like.

They truly taste like peanut butter cookie dough.

Unlike my buckeyes recipe, these have more of a cookie dough flavor (those taste like peanut butter cups)!

Ingredient Notes

• Butter. We use unsalted butter in this recipe. It allows us to control the amount of salt. Use our tips and tricks on how to soften butter quickly.
• Flour. Be sure to heat treat the flour before using it.
• Creamy peanut butter. We prefer regular shelf stable peanut butter in this recipe, as opposed to natural styles.
• Mini Reese’s pieces. Look for these in the baking aisle near the chocolate chips. M&Ms baking bits can be substituted if you prefer more chocolate to peanut butter.
• Chocolate melting wafers. I recommend a quality chocolate designed for melting, like these Ghirardelli wafers.
• White chocolate. Use white chocolate melting wafers or melted vanilla bark for the drizzle.

Easy Instructions

1. Make Cookie Dough. Beat together all the ingredients for the cookie dough center.
2. Add Candy. Fold in Reese’s pieces.
3. Roll Balls. Scoop the cookie dough into balls and arrange on a parchment lined baking sheet. Freeze for 2 hours.
4. Dip in Chocolate. Use a toothpick to dip each truffle into the melted chocolate coating.

PRO TIP: Stir together melted white chocolate with peanut butter. Drizzle over the truffles. Add a fancy touch to the truffles!

Tips and Tricks

• Don’t forget to heat treat the flour before using!
• Store peanut butter cookie dough truffles in the refrigerator. Enjoy within 2 weeks.
• Dip the truffles in white chocolate instead of milk chocolate for a delicious twist!
• Keep the frozen truffle centers in the freezer until just before you’re ready to dip them. You want them to hold their shape while you coat them in the chocolate.
