DIRECTIONS
// Use a cookie scoop to portion cookie dough, then roll it between your hands to form a smooth ball. Freeze the balls for 1 hour.
// In a small microwave-safe container, microwave the chocolate chips and coconut oil on 50% power in 30-second increments, stirring well between each increment until melted and smooth. Don’t overheat! Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
// Dip the cookie dough into the chocolate mixture using a fork or toothpick. Let the truffles drain on a wire rack set over waxed paper. Sprinkle with the toppings while the chocolate is still wet. Let the chocolate set for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Add additional decorations if you’d like. Serve the truffles chilled.
// Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
