1/2cup(85g)chocolate chipsdark, semi-sweet, or milk chocolate
1/2cup(120g)toffee bits
For the chocolate coating:
1cup(170g)chocolate chipsdark, semi-sweet, or milk chocolate
1tablespoon(12g)coconut oilor shortening
sea salt
Instructions
Make the cookie dough. Cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in vanilla and combine. Add the heat-treated flour and sweetened condensed milk and combine well. (See recipe notes for how to heat treat the flour). Stir in chocolate chips and toffee bits until thoroughly combined.
Scoop and chill. Scoop teaspoon-sized balls onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Place in the refrigerator or freezer for about 15 minutes until firm.
Make the chocolate coating. Place chocolate chips and coconut oil (or shortening) in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on 70% power for about 1 minute to melt. Stir until smooth and glossy.
Coat the truffles. Remove baking sheet from refrigerator or freezer and dip each ball into the melted chocolate with a spoon. Hold the dipped truffle over the melted chocolate bowl for a few seconds and gently tap on the side of the bowl to allow the excess chocolate to flow back into the bowl. Place the dipped truffle back onto the parchment paper to allow to cool and harden. Repeat until all have been dipped. Using your fork or a spoon, drizzle little bits of melted chocolate over the top of truffles. Sprinkle with sea salt (optional). Set aside to allow to thoroughly harden or place into the freezer for at least 15 minutes to harden.
Serve. Once hardened, the truffles are ready to enjoy. If frozen, remove from the freezer for a few minutes and then serve.
Notes
How to Heat Treat Flour: Add your flour to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15-second intervals until the flour reaches 165º F when tested with an instant-read thermometer. Alternatively, spread the flour on a sheet pan and bake in the oven at 350º F. Storage Instructions: Place the truffles onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Leave room between each truffle so that they freeze separately. Flash freeze overnight. Place the frozen truffles into freezer-safe, airtight container and freezer for up to a month.
