How To Make Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Truffles

  1. Heat treat the flour by adding the all-purpose flour to microwave microwave-safe bowl and heating at intervals. The flour must reach a temperature of 160 degrees F to be fully heat-treated.

  3. Beat in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture becomes smooth.
  4. Beat in the cooled flour until fully combined.
  5. Fold in the mini chocolate chips and mini Reese’s Pieces using a rubber spatula.
  6. Portion out the truffle filling using a medium cookie scoop and then rolling it into balls. Transfer the truffle balls onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet and chill.
  7. Melt the melting wafers until smooth, and then dip the chilled truffle balls into it one at a time. Transfer the dipped truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet to allow the chocolate to harden.
