Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Cream the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup unsalted butter with 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Flavor: Mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat on low speed until fully incorporated for about 30 seconds.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually sift 1 cup heat-treated all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt into the bowl. Fold gently until a soft dough forms.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Form Truffles: Scoop tablespoon-sized dough and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15-20 minutes.
- Prepare Coating: Melt 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- Coat Truffles: Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to lift out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Set and Serve: Let coated truffles sit at room temperature to harden or refrigerate for 15-30 minutes before serving.

Notes
For best results, chill the dough thoroughly before coating and avoid overmixing the ingredients.
