Step 1: Blend Creamy Base

Grab a spacious mixing bowl and combine softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.

Whip these ingredients until they transform into a light, fluffy cloud-like mixture.

Pour in vanilla extract and milk, stirring until everything blends beautifully.

Step 2: Create Smooth Dough

Gradually fold flour into the creamy mixture, mixing until a silky-smooth dough emerges.

Gently sprinkle mini chocolate chips throughout the dough, distributing them evenly.

Step 3: Shape Delightful Balls

Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to roll the dough into adorable bite-sized spheres.

Arrange these delectable balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Pop them into the freezer for a quick 30-minute chill.

Step 4: Melt Chocolate Coating

Select a microwave-safe bowl and combine white chocolate chips with vegetable oil.

Zap in short 30-second bursts, stirring between each interval until the mixture becomes perfectly smooth and glossy.

Step 5: Dunk Truffles

Remove chilled dough balls from the freezer.

Using a fork or toothpick, carefully dip each ball into the melted white chocolate.

Ensure complete coverage, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.

Step 6: Add Decorative Touches

Before the chocolate coating hardens, sprinkle additional mini chocolate chips on top of each truffle.

This adds a delightful crunch and extra chocolate burst.

Step 7: Let Truffles Set

Allow truffles to firm up at room temperature or accelerate the process by placing them in the refrigerator.

Wait until the chocolate coating becomes completely solid and glossy.
