Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (165g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (270g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 12 oz (340g) white chocolate chips or wafers
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract (optional)
  • Green food coloring gel (a few drops)
  • Green sugar sprinkles or edible glitter (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
  2. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, followed by 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing on low until just incorporated.
  4. Fold in 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
  5. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, form dough into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill again for 15 minutes.
  7. Melt 12 oz white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract and a few drops of green food coloring gel until evenly colored.
  8. Dip each chilled truffle into the green chocolate coating using a fork or dipping tool, letting excess drip off. Place on parchment paper and optionally sprinkle with green sugar or edible glitter.
  9. Let the coated truffles set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until hardened.

Notes

Chill dough thoroughly to make rolling easier and prevent melting during coating. Melt white chocolate gently in short bursts to avoid burning. If coating thickens, warm gently again. Tap off excess coating to avoid clumps. Dough can be frozen for longer storage. Optional substitutions include almond flour for gluten-free and dairy-free alternatives for butter and coating.
