These no-bake chocolate chip cookie dough football truffles are a quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing treat perfect for football parties and casual gatherings. They feature soft, chewy dough studded with mini chocolate chips and decorated with white chocolate laces.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup (65 grams) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour, heat-treated
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (90 grams) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (90 grams) white chocolate chips (for piping laces)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread all-purpose flour evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to heat-treat. Let cool completely.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat softened unsalted butter with light brown sugar and granulated sugar until creamy and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
  4. Gradually mix in the cooled heat-treated flour until just combined. If dough feels too dry, add 1 teaspoon milk or cream.
  5. Fold in mini semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  6. Shape dough into small football shapes about 1.5 inches (4 cm) long and slightly tapered at the ends. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Refrigerate shaped dough for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  8. Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring between, until smooth.
  9. Transfer melted white chocolate to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small corner snipped off. Pipe thin lines across each truffle to mimic football laces.
  10. Place decorated truffles back in the fridge for about 15 minutes to set the white chocolate.
  11. Serve chilled or at cool room temperature about 10 to 15 minutes after removing from fridge.

Notes

Heat-treat the flour to make it safe for raw consumption. Use softened butter for best texture. Chill truffles before decorating to keep shapes intact. Use short microwave bursts to melt white chocolate to avoid burning. Store truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
