I love a good chocolate chip cookie. You can stuff them with semi sweet, milk or dark chocolate morsels or peanut butter, m&m’s or nutella. I like them just about any way I can get them. For these big chippers, I took chocolate chip cookies and stepped them up a notch, stuffed with a chocolate truffle inside them.
Let’s get to it. Here we have your basic cookie ingredients – plus some Lindt truffles for the win.
Now, I usually go semisweet or dark chocolate, but these big boys are all milk chocolate to pair with the truffles.
Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffles by Lindt that is. And the stars of this cookie recipe.
After whipping up the dough, divide into a dozen scoops for jumbo cookies.
Then stuff those truffles inside. You can either shape the dough around the truffle or you can use a scoop to help shape them and keep some of the cookie dough off your fingers.
Once the truffles are hidden inside, press more milk chocolate morsels on the top of the cookie dough balls before baking.
These bake up pretty big and if they spread more than your liking, just use a large cutter/circle (about 4-5 inches) to help shape the cookies right when you take them out of the oven and while they are still hot. Coerce the cutter over the cookie and give it a little swirl. When the cookie cools, it will settle into a nice round shape.
Nice and round. : )
Enjoy these while they are warm for a smooth and creamy, melty, milk chocolate middle.
Yummmmmmmmmm!
Milk Chocolate Chip Truffle Cookies
Ingredients
- 2-1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 cups milk chocolate morsels, divided
- 12-14 milk chocolate Lindor truffles
Instructions
- Whisk flour, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl with a wire whisk. Set aside.
- Cream together butter and both sugars.
- Add eggs, one at a time until combined. Add vanilla.
- Slowly add in flour mixture until just combined.
- Mix in 1-1/2 cups of the milk chocolate morsels until combined, reserving the rest.
- Chill dough for 15-20 minutes. Scoop into 12-14 large mounds of dough using a 2-1/2 inch cookie scoop. Break dough apart and place a truffle in the middle of each dough ball. Reshape and seal.
- Place remaining morsels in a small bowl and press top and sides of cookie dough balls into the morsels. Place cookie dough balls in the fridge for another 15-20 minutes to chill.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line large 16 X 20 cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Bake in batches - only 4-5 cookies on a baking sheet for 15-18 minutes. More cookies than that and they may start to merge together. Cool cookies.
Notes
Let these large cookies cool completely before lifting or they may separate. Bake cookies on a large rimless cookie sheet and you can slide the parchment onto the counter to let the cookies cool.
Hope you enjoy!
When a cookie is stuffed with a truffle, the center becomes the main texture variable, so the team should test cooling and portioning before scaling the batch. Would a small trial help confirm the filling stays distinct after baking?
If milk chocolate meets Lindt truffles, restraint matters. Would chilling the dough before stuffing keep the centers neat, which I will test next?
Are Lindt truffles too sweet with milk chocolate, or perhaps coffee balances them for me?
The recipe’s useful boundary is the contrast between basic cookie dough and the Lindt truffle center: the filling changes the bake, not only the flavor. I would weigh each dough portion and chill it first, if I wanted a consistent shell.
Amazing baking recipes! Loved this!
A dozen dough scoops gave me even cookies, with a soft truffle center.
When making these for a small gathering, I am weighing the tidy look of shaping each hot cookie with a 4-5 inch cutter against the simpler approach of leaving them rustic; since the recipe also limits the sheet to 4-5 cookies, does the cutter step noticeably improve consistency when the cookies spread?
When I hit a creative block, I borrow the hidden-center idea in this recipe: a Lindor milk chocolate truffle turns a familiar cookie into a small surprise. I am going to use the same move in my next build session: start with a simple block-by-block layout, then add one unexpected feature. That keeps the process playful without requiring a grand plan.

The counterintuitive part is making just a dozen jumbo scoops for cookies meant to serve a group. As a manager planning a current team bake, I agree with that clear portion boundary, provided we do not swap in smaller scoops as a shortcut; compared with a batch of many standard cookies, it keeps each Lindt truffle center consistent. I would use Number Wheel to assign tasting slots fairly. If consistency matters more than volume, this is the better plan.
The instruction to divide the dough into twelve jumbo scoops sharpens my view that the truffle center depends on a minimum dough-to-filling ratio, rather than the chocolate choice alone: twelve jumbo scoops.
Thank you veru much.
great
Omg I NEED these! I am a lover of dark chocolate, so I probably would have used dark chips and truffles. But the idea is fabulous!
