Cookie butter truffles – a good, easy, no-bake dessert loaded with cookie butter flavor that is solid anytime you want a sweet treat!

We know we are not the only peanut butter ball (buckeye) fan on earth… but when we got the idea to make Cookie Butter Truffles that looked like buckeyes, we couldn't find a recipe for them- so we went ahead and created one! These cookie butter truffles are so good and they can be made with a little active time.

At Avdaye, we add lots of tips in all of our recipes – because we are a home cook without any formal training, and we find we are more confident making dishes when we understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe. Our goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.

How to Make Quick Cookie Butter Truffles

First assemble the following ingredients:

• Creamy cookie butter (2 cups) – Adds a rich, spiced sweetness with warm notes of cinnamon and caramelized cookies.
• Unsalted butter (¼ cup) – Provides smooth richness and helps bind the truffle filling together.
• Sea salt (¼ teaspoon) – Balances the sweetness and enhances the depth of flavor.
• Pure vanilla extract (½ teaspoon) – Infuses a warm, aromatic note that rounds out the cookie butter's spice.
• Confectioners sugar (2 – 2 ½ cups) – Sweetens and thickens the filling, giving it structure and a smooth texture.
• Chocolate chips (1 cup) – Create a rich, indulgent coating for the truffles with deep cocoa flavor.
• Vegetable oil (1 tsp) – Helps thin the melted chocolate for a smooth, glossy coating.

Mix Batter

Combine butter, sugar, salt, cookie butter, and vanilla until mixed well. It should be tacky but not too sticky, add more powdered sugar if necessary.

Chill

Roll small 1 inch balls and chill on wax paper in the freezer for 1 hour. When truffles are ready melt chocolate and add the oil, mix.

Dip and Chill

Dip the balls in the chocolate using toothpicks or a truffle fork, set on wax paper. Set in the fridge and bring them out a few minutes before eating. Enjoy!

Kitchen notes

To make effortless Speculoos No Bake Truffles, there are a couple of tips and tricks that will help you get the best results!

Chill a baking sheet – Before making these truffles, we like to pop a baking sheet in the freezer so it is nice and cold – making the truffles solidify faster and more beautifully.

Thin your chocolate – To help your chocolate glide over your truffles effortlessly – making them extra shiny and smooth, thin the chocolate with a little vegetable oil. a tiny bit will do – or you'll have greasy chocolate.

Use high quality cookie butter – Since this recipe is so simple, you need to be sure you have a cookie butter you love – whether it is speculoos, Biscoff, or another brand. Make sure you love the flavor!

Dust your hands with sugar or cocoa – If the mixture still feels sticky when rolling, lightly dust your palms with confectioners' sugar or cocoa powder.

Dip with a fork– Use a fork to dip and lift the truffles, tapping lightly on the bowl's edge to remove excess chocolate.

Decorate quickly – Add sprinkles, crushed cookies, or drizzle before the chocolate sets so the toppings stick.

A few answers

What kind of cookie butter works best for truffles?

Creamy cookie butter works best because it blends smoothly with the butter and sugar, but you can also use crunchy cookie butter for extra texture.

Can we use white or milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?

Absolutely! White, milk, or even ruby chocolate all pair beautifully with cookie butter depending on your flavor preference.

Our truffle mixture is too sticky—what should we do?

If the mixture feels too sticky to roll, add a little more confectioners' sugar until it firms up, then chill again.

How long do cookie butter truffles last?

They'll keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or you can freeze them for up to 2 months.

Can we decorate the truffles?

Yes! Try drizzling with melted white chocolate, sprinkling with crushed speculoos cookies, or dusting with cocoa powder.

Ingredients

• 2 cups creamy cookie butter
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 – 2 ½ cups confectioners sugar
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 tsp vegetable oil

Method

1. In a large bowl, combine butter, sugar, cookie butter and vanilla until mixed well. Your butter will need to be soft but not melted for this to work.
2. When dough is well mixed it will be slightly tacky but not too sticky. If it is still sticky to the touch, add more powdered sugar, a teaspoon at a time.
3. When the dough is ready, roll into small balls about 1″ large.
4. Place on wax paper and chill in fridge or freezer for at least 1 hour.
5. When truffles are ready, melt chocolate 35 seconds at a time in microwave, stirring in between each time in until fully melted.
6. Add 1 tsp vegetable oil and mix. If chocolate is slightly runny (comes off a spoon in ribbon, not in clumps), it is ready. If it is still too thick, add more oil slowly (a drizzle at a time- you dont want too much.)
7. Using a truffle fork (or toothpick), dip balls into chocolate and remove to set on wax paper.
8. When all balls are coated, set in a cool, dry place to set. We like to keep them in the fridge and pop them out a few minutes before eating so they are slightly cool.
9. Keeps up to one week in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
