• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Chocolate Coating:

• 2 cups semisweet or dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional, for smoother coating)

Make the Cookie Dough:

Prepare the Chocolate Coating:

2. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly.

Coat the Truffles:

1. Using a fork, dip each cookie dough ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
2. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment paper.
3. If desired, sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips on top before the chocolate sets.

Chill and Serve:
