Instructions

Heat-treat flour by spreading on baking sheet and baking at 350°F for 5 minutes.

Let treated flour cool completely before using to ensure food safety.

Cream softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in heavy cream, vanilla extract, salt, and almond extract until combined.

Gradually mix in cooled heat-treated flour until cookie dough forms.

Fold in mini chocolate chips, toffee bits, and butterscotch chips if using.

Cover cookie dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up for shaping.

Line baking sheets with parchment paper for truffle placement during coating.

Using small cookie scoop, portion dough into 24 equal balls about 1 inch diameter.

Roll each portion between palms to create smooth, round truffle centers.

Place shaped cookie dough balls on prepared parchment-lined baking sheets.

Freeze shaped truffles for 15 minutes to firm up before chocolate coating.

Melt dark chocolate and coconut oil in double boiler, stirring until smooth.

Remove chocolate from heat and stir in corn syrup for glossy finish.

Let melted chocolate cool slightly to working temperature, about 90°F.

Using fork, dip each frozen truffle into melted chocolate, coating completely.

Tap fork gently against bowl edge to remove excess chocolate coating.

Place coated truffles back on parchment paper, removing fork carefully.

Immediately sprinkle with desired garnishes while chocolate is still wet.

Refrigerate coated truffles for 20 minutes to set chocolate coating firmly.

For multiple coatings, repeat dipping process with different chocolate types.

Store finished truffles in airtight container in refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
