FAQs
1. Can I use a different type of cookie for the truffles?
Yes, you can experiment with other types of cookies, like chocolate chip cookies or even peanut butter cookies, to create a different flavor profile.
2. Can I use a chocolate coating other than white or dark chocolate?
Yes! You can use milk chocolate or even candy melts for a fun, colorful coating.
3. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 2 days before rolling it into balls and dipping in chocolate.
4. Do I need to bake the flour before using it?
This recipe uses raw flour, but to reduce any risk of consuming raw flour, you can bake it at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes on a baking sheet before mixing it into the dough.
5. Can I freeze these truffles?
Yes, you can freeze them. Store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let them thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
6. Can I use store-bought chocolate chips for dipping?
Yes, chocolate chips work perfectly for dipping. Just be sure to melt them gently to avoid seizing.

The chocolate will harden and form a glossy finish once it’s fully set. You can speed up the setting process by placing the truffles in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes after dipping them in chocolate.
8. Can I use a different type of sugar?
You can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar or another granulated sugar, but it may alter the flavor slightly.
9. Can I add more Oreos to the dough?
Absolutely! Feel free to increase the amount of crushed Oreos to make the truffles even more flavorful and crunchy.
10. Can I make these truffles without milk?
If you prefer, you can leave out the milk or replace it with a dairy-free alternative, such as almond milk or coconut milk, for a vegan-friendly version.
