1. Are Cookie Dough Truffles safe to eat?

Yes! This recipe uses heat-treated flour and no eggs, making the dough completely safe to eat raw.

2. How do I heat-treat flour at home?

Spread all-purpose flour on a baking sheet and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 5–7 minutes. Let it cool completely before using in your Cookie Dough Truffles .

3. Can I use almond flour instead of all-purpose flour?

Yes. Almond flour offers a softer texture and subtle nutty flavor — great for gluten-free versions. Just skip the heat-treating, as almond flour is safe to eat raw.

4. Do I need a mixer to make the dough?

While a hand or stand mixer makes the job easier, you can mix the dough by hand — just be ready to put in a little elbow grease to cream the butter and sugars properly.

5. Can I use different chocolate for coating?

Absolutely. Try white chocolate, milk chocolate, ruby chocolate, or even colored candy melts to match any theme or occasion.
