Instructions How to Make Birthday M&M Cookie Dough Truffles

1. Heat-treat the flour so it’s safe to eat. Microwave the flour in a safe bowl for 90 seconds, whisking every 30 seconds. Let cool completely before using.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add vanilla and milk and mix well.
3. Add salt and cooled flour. Mix until a dough forms. Fold in mini M&Ms.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Scoop 1 tablespoon portions of dough, place on the sheet, and chill for 10 minutes. Roll into smooth balls and chill again while preparing the coating.
5. Melt white chocolate chips with oil in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
6. Dip chilled cookie dough balls in the melted chocolate. Set back on the parchment.
7. Top with sprinkles before the coating sets. Refrigerate 5–10 minutes until firm.
