Mummy Cookie Dough Truffles are a delightfully spooky and creamy Halloween treat combining edible cookie dough coated in white chocolate and decorated with edible eyes and white chocolate ‘bandages’. Perfect for festive celebrations and easy to make with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Edible Cookie Dough

  • 100 g butter (salted or unsalted), softened
  • 50 g dark or light brown sugar
  • 30 g caster sugar
  • 175 g plain flour
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 100 g dark, milk, or white chocolate chips

White Chocolate Coating/Decoration

  • 300 g white chocolate
  • 30 edible eyes (e.g., Cake Décor brand)

Instructions

  1. Heat treat the flour: Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F) or Gas Mark 2. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and spread the plain flour evenly. Bake for 5-10 minutes (recommend 7 minutes), then remove and let the flour cool completely for about 30 minutes to make it safe for raw consumption.
  2. Make the cookie dough: In a medium mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, dark or light brown sugar, and caster sugar until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Add the cooled flour and milk, mixing until a dough forms. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Form dough balls and chill: Portion the dough into roughly 30g balls, rolling them evenly. Place the balls on a lined baking tray and put them in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.
  4. Melt the white chocolate: Melt the white chocolate either in the microwave in short bursts or using a bain-marie (a bowl set over simmering water), stirring until smooth.
  5. Coat the dough balls: Using a fork, dip each cookie dough ball fully into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place coated balls back onto the lined tray and return them to the freezer for 5 minutes to set.
  6. Decorate the truffles: Drizzle the remaining white chocolate over the set truffles to create ‘bandage’ effects. Attach two edible eyes to the top of each truffle to complete the mummy look.
  7. Set and store: Let the truffles fully set in the fridge or freezer before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • Heat treating the flour is essential to make it safe for raw consumption.
  • Keep the dough balls chilled to ensure they hold their shape when coated.
  • Use good-quality white chocolate for a smooth coating and easier melting.
  • Store truffles in the fridge for up to one week; freeze for longer storage.
  • Decorate creatively with edible eyes or other Halloween-themed decorations for a festive appearance.
