Who doesn't love chocolate chip cookie dough? We've probably all eaten more than a few spoonfuls while baking a batch of cookies! However, raw cookie dough can be unsafe. Traditionally chocolate chip cookie dough contains eggs and untreated raw flour, both of which can contain harmful bacteria.
These vegan cookie dough truffles are totally safe to eat as they contain no eggs, and I'll show you two simple ways to heat treat your flour.
Ingredients
- Flour: We'll be using all purpose flour that has been heat treated. It only takes a few minutes and heat treating your flour ensures that your vegan cookie dough truffles are safe to eat.
- Sugar: Granulated sugar is what I used, but make sure that your granulated sugar is vegan if you live in an area where sugar is processed with bone char.
- Light Brown Sugar: Light brown sugar adds moisture and sweetness.
- Soy Milk: You can use any plant based milk you prefer including almond milk, coconut milk and oat milk.
- Vanilla: Vanilla lifts the flavor of all baked goods. Be sure to buy the best quality you can afford. The flavor really makes a difference.
- Salt: Salt makes all the flavors pop.
- Vegan Chocolate Chips: It's not difficult to find chocolate chips that are made without milk. Don't go for semi sweet - choose dark chocolate. For more information on how to choose a vegan brand of chocolate chips, check out this article, "Are Chocolate Chips Vegan?"
- Dark Chocolate: Choose a good quality dark chocolate that isn't made with milk.
How To Make Vegan Cookie Dough Truffles
- The first thing you'll need to do is to heat treat your flour. Flour, though it doesn't seem like it, is a raw product that can carry bacteria and pathogens. Even though we've all probably eaten raw cookie dough, it's best to error on the side of caution and heat treat your flour before you use it. This is a raw chocolate chip cookie dough recipe, so heat treating is a must. There are two basic methods, both of them simple.
- Microwave: Put the flour in a microwaveable dish. Heat it in 30 second intervals for 2 minutes, stirring between intervals.
- Oven: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake your flour at 65 F (74 C) for 5 minutes. Give the pan a good shake at the half way point.
- Next, in a large mixing bowl, cream together your vegan butter, sugar, light brown sugar, vanilla and soy milk.
- Tip your heat treated flour and salt into the bowl. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Fold in your chocolate chips, and pop the bowl into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
- Once your cookie dough has chilled, roll one tablespoon sized bowl and place them on a parchment lined baking tray. Insert toothpicks into each ball. This will make it easier to dip your chocolate chip cookie dough balls into your melted chocolate.
- Put the tray in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Put your dark chocolate in a microwave safe dish and heat it at 30 second intervals, stirring between intervals until the chocolate is melted.
- Using the toothpick, dip your cookie dough balls into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess chocolate to drip off. Return them to the baking tray and remove the toothpick.
- Chill your vegan chocolate chip cookie dough truffles for an additional 10 minutes.
- That's it! Tuck in and enjoy!
