02 - Add milk and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, stirring until fully combined.
03 - Gradually stir heat-treated flour into the mixture until fully incorporated.

05 - Scoop 1-tablespoon portions of dough and roll into smooth balls. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
06 - Freeze truffles for 20 to 30 minutes until firm enough for coating.
07 - Melt chocolate with coconut oil if desired in a microwave-safe bowl using 20-second intervals, stirring between bursts until smooth.

10 - Store finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- These little bites give you all the joy of eating cookie dough straight from the bowl, but without the worry about raw eggs or flour.
- They make even ordinary weeknights feel special, especially when you pull them from the fridge after dinner and watch everyones eyes light up.
02 -
- If your melted chocolate starts to thicken while youre dipping, microwave it for just 5-10 seconds and stir again rather than overheating it and causing it to seize.
- Keeping the dough balls in the freezer between dipping batches maintains their firmness, which makes the chocolate coating process infinitely easier.
03 -
- For an extra special finish, drizzle contrasting chocolate across the tops after the coating has set, creating bakery-worthy designs with minimal effort.
- Letting the truffles sit at room temperature for exactly five minutes before serving gives you that perfect soft-but-not-melting texture that elevates the entire experience.
