Cookie Dough Easter Egg Ingredients

Although these cookie dough Easter egg truffles may look hard to make, they’re actually really easy! There are actually only 6 ingredients needed to make them. Then all you need is some sprinkles and candy melts for decorating!

For mixing the ingredients, I’ve found that a stand mixer works best, but you can use an electric hand mixer too.

No Eggs Needed!

Pretty cool you can make something that tastes so close to cookie dough with sweetened condensed milk and no eggs!

Shaping the Cookie Dough Easter Eggs

At first, I was not looking forward to the truffle-shaping part of this recipe…shaping several truffles into something other than a ball by hand sounds like a pain. Fortunately, it is a lot easier than I thought.

The dough is thick and a bit sticky, but also really pliable and an egg shape is simple. Just roll the dough into balls and gently flatten each, with a slight taper at one end. Not bad at all!

Dipping the Cookie Dough Eggs

Place the truffles in the refrigerator or freezer to let them harden so it is easier to dip. You will only want to remove 3 or 4 at a time for dipping and leave the rest in the refrigerator until their time comes.

I use white almond bark and a fork for the dipping. Coat the cookie dough egg in the chocolate, then tap to remove excess, and place it on a non-stick surface to let it set.

Decorating

Almond bark sets up fast, so if you want to do sprinkles you need to start sprinkling right after each is dipped. I also used colored candy melts to decorate. Cut off a tiny corner of a plastic resealable sandwich bag to pipe it on.

Silicone baking mats are a great reusable option when you need a non-stick surface. I use them all the time!
