Ingredients
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch fine salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon nonalcoholic vanilla extract
Confectioners' sugar or unsweetened cocoa powder, for rolling
Directions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Microwave the flour in a small microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute. Remove and stir well. Microwave for an additional minute or until the temperature reaches 180 degrees F. Sift into a medium bowl, then whisk in the cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside (see Cook's Note).
- Melt the chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute total.
- Add the granulated sugar, butter and vanilla to the melted chocolate, and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth. Add the flour mixture, and mix on low speed until well incorporated. (Turn off the mixer and use your hands to help combine if needed.)
- Scoop tablespoonfuls of the batter, roll them into smooth balls and put them on the prepared baking sheet. Put the confectioners' sugar or cocoa powder on a plate. Before serving, roll the truffles in confectioners' sugar or cocoa powder to coat. (The truffles can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.)
Cook’s Note
Microwaving the flour to 180 degrees F may reduce the risk of foodborne illness associated with eating it raw or undercooked.
