Cooking. Creating. Sharing

Red Velvet Cookie Dough Truffles

Feb.posted by Paula 22 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Raise your hand if you like Red Velvet cake! I can’t imagine anyone who doesn’t! Ok, who likes cookie dough?? Today, I’m sharing these luscious Red Velvet Cookie Dough Truffles. Now, they are not cake balls, no siree. These truffles are cookie dough truffles…creamy and rich, like cookie dough! I can’t imagine anyone who doesn’t like to eat cookie dough either!! Personally, I prefer cookie dough over the actual baked cookie! Am I right? An ‘amen’ will do! Red Velvet Cookie Dough Truffles

Red Velvet Cookie Dough Truffles

I’ve been to eat healthier and cut back on desserts. I tried to cut them out completely, but then on the third day without them, I wanted to kill someone.

That wasn’t good.

Desserts make me happy.

Since I couldn’t cut desserts out completely, my compromise was to exercise more and eat only two or three servings a week. 

So

I’ve also started a new workout and have been so sore the last few days, it literally hurt to roll over in the bed!  Trying to get up out of bed was a major task too! I felt much like I did the first week after I went through childbirth! Everyone in the house laughs as I moan and groan when getting up out of a chair or walking up the stairs!

But just look at these Red Velvet Cookie Dough Truffles I can indulge in them on my dessert day!  I will happily work out an extra 15 minutes for these truffles! They’re such a pretty color too. I thought I’d package them up for Big Daddy for Valentine’s Day.  They would be great for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Fourth of July, or tailgating since our team is red.

Refrigerate the truffles for up to a week. For gifting, you can place them in mini-cupcake liners and package them in a box.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 minute
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 36 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup  unsalted butter softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup ight brown sugar packed
  • 2 tablespoons milk I used 2%
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons water-based red food coloring
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips*  optional
  • 24 ounces white chocolate or milk or dark chocolate bark to melt for coating truffle
  • chocolate chips sprinkles, etc. as optional toppings

Instructions

  • Line a small baking sheet that will fit in your freezer with parchment paper.
  • Cream together butter and both sugars using an electric hand mixer in a medium-size mixing bowl. Add vanilla and milk and mix until well incorporated. Add flour, cocoa powder, and salt and mix until combined. Add 1 teaspoon red food coloring. Mix until the color is incorporated throughout. Add another 1/2 teaspoon if needed for the desired color. Mix well. Stir in white chocolate chips* until combined. These white chocolate chips are optional, just leave them out if you prefer.
  • Using a small ice cream or cookie scoop, scoop the dough into even portions. Use your hands if necessary to form into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place balls on the baking sheet you prepped earlier. Freeze for at least 15 minutes or overnight. If you freeze them overnight, sit out of the freezer for at least 15 minutes before dipping. This will prevent them from cracking.
  • Lay a large piece of parchment paper out on the counter or table. Place cocoa candy coating into a glass microwave-safe bowl and heat on 50 percent power in 30-second increments until melted stirring well after every 30 seconds. Add 1/2 teaspoon solid vegetable shortening and stir. Place one red velvet cookie dough ball on the end of a fork and use a spoon to pour the melted chocolate over it. Allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place on the parchment paper to dry. Add sprinkles or decorations immediately before the chocolate begins to dry and harden. Repeat until all the balls are coated. If chocolate begins to harden, microwave and stir until smooth and continue dipping.

More truffle madness

Bourbon Balls

This is an authentic Kentucky Bourbon Balls recipe. They are rich, smooth, decadent, and delicious! It's a Southern delicacy of a sweet boozy confection of sugar, pecans, and bourbon.

    You’re not doing the TRX workout are you? They started offering it at my gym and everyone who has taken it said it’s grueling. I think it’s a good compromise because how can any one resist these beautiful little balls… Thanks for bringing them to foodie friday.

      Yeah, you can’t get cake balls to moist. These are totally different, though, they clump together easily like cookie dough. I could eat the whole bowl of dough.

      I know, Kita, I didn’t realize until I was editing pictures that I didn’t have a photograph of the inside. 🙁 Then, unfortunately, they had already been consumed by my family. I plan to add one the next time I make them.
