Timings:

- Active time: 40 minutes
- Idle time: 20 minutes
- Total time: 60 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups of flour
- 1/2 cup of room temperature butter
- 2-3 tablespoons of milk
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of chocolate chips
- 12 ounces of white melting chocolate
- 2 ounces of black melting chocolate
- Orange sprinkles (for noses)
- Red, white, and green sprinkles (for a festive touch)
- Reese’s Cups
- Oreo Cookies
- Pretzel Bows
Instructions:
- Prep the Flour:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread the flour evenly across it. Heat the flour for 5 minutes to ensure it’s safe to consume. Let it cool completely.
- Make the Cookie Dough:
- Before making the dough break some of your pretzel bows in half and place them to the side to use later on.
- NOw In a large bowl, combine the room temperature butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix on medium speed using an electric hand or stand mixer for 3-4 minutes, or until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix for another minute.
- Next, add the cooled flour and salt to the bowl, mixing on low speed until just combined. Pour in the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough has a soft, scoopable texture. Using a spatula, fold in the chocolate chips, followed by the festive sprinkles. Be careful not to over mix to prevent the colors from bleeding into the dough.
- Form the Dough Balls:
- Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, portion the dough into two tablespoon size balls. Place them onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Once all the dough balls are formed, put them in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to firm up.
Bringing the Snowman to life
- Melt the White Chocolate:
- Place the white melting chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl and heat it for 30-seconds, mix it. Then heat it in 15 second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Dipping the Snowmen:
- Using a fork, dip each dough ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let most of the excess chocolate drip off, and then place the ball back on the parchment paper. Allow some chocolate to pool at the base of the dough ball to create a “snow puddle” effect. Add the pretzels arms while wet. Repeat for all truffles and refrigerate for another 10 minutes until set.
- Decorate the Snowmen:
- Melt the black chocolate using the same method and place it in a piping bag. Cut a small hole at the tip and pipe two dots for the eyes and several smaller dots beneath the eyes for a smiling (or crooked) mouth. Make some smiles lopsided to give the snowmen a playful, melted look!
- Use a dab of leftover white chocolate to attach an orange sprinkle to each snowman’s face for a nose.
- Make the Snowman Hats:
- To make the hats, attach a Reese’s Cup to an Oreo cookie using melted black chocolate. Once set, place the hat on top of the snowman’s head, tilt some of the hats for a whimsical effect. Let everything dry and solidify before serving.

TMI TIPs:
Prevent Dough Color Bleeding: Be gentle when folding in the sprinkles. Overmixing will cause the colors to run into the dough. Unless you want red cookie dough.
Double Dip if Needed: If the cookie dough shows through the white chocolate, let the first layer set and then dip again for a thicker coating.
Pairings:
- Beverages: Serve these melting snowman truffles with a warm cup of hot chocolate, peppermint mocha, or eggnog. The creamy drinks complement the sweet and festive flavors of the snowmen.
- Holiday Dessert Spread: Add these truffles with other holiday treats like gingerbread cookies, sugar cookie bars, or peppermint bark for a beautiful and delicious dessert table.
- Ice Cream Treat: Serve the snowman truffles alongside a scoop of fun ice cream flavors like vanilla bean, eggnog or ice cream drizzled with caramel sauce. The cold, creamy texture pairs beautifully with the rich chocolate chips and cookie dough.
FAQs:
How can I make the flour safe to eat in cookie dough recipes?
- Heating the flour in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes kills any potential bacteria, making it safe for use in no-bake cookie dough recipes.
Can I use different decorations for the snowmen?
- Absolutely! Feel free to get creative. You can use mini chocolate chips for eyes, pretzel sticks for arms, or candy scarves for an extra festive touch.
How long can I store these Cookie Dough Snowman Truffles?
- Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Just be sure to let them come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.
Am I able to add additional toppings after assembly?
- Yes, feel free to add more toppings just before serving for an extra decorative touch. However, be cautious with items that may fall off easily or become messy.
Fun Display and Gifting Ideas:
- Snowy Scene Tray: Arrange the truffles on a white platter dusted with powdered sugar or shredded coconut to mimic a snowy landscape.
- Clear Jars or Cloche Displays: Use a glass jar or cloche to create a “snow globe” effect with the truffles inside. Add tiny holiday figurines for extra charm.
- Mason Jar Treats: Fill a mason jar with the melting snowman truffles, layer them with mini marshmallows or crushed peppermint, and decorate the jar with a ribbon and holiday tag.
- Boxed Sets: Place them in a small decorative box lined with food safe tissue paper or festive cupcake liners. Add a written note for a personal touch.
