My egg-shaped cookie dough truffles are so vibrant and fun for Easter. Made with no-bake edible cookie dough centers and colorful candy melt shells, these Easter truffles are soft, chewy, and delicious. My kids love to help me decorate them, and we always wrap a few and hide them during our annual egg hunt. All the kids love finding and munching on this sweet treat!
Cookie Dough Truffles
It doesn’t get much more festive than these Easter truffles. I picked the most vibrant colors possible so they’re easy to spot during an egg hunt (wrapped in plastic, obviously, to keep them clean). These edible cookie dough truffles are always a big hit with the kiddos, but adults love them, too. I mean, who doesn’t love a big bite of cookie dough?!

Notes
- Allow the cookie dough to fully set before coating in the chocolate.
- This cookie dough doesn’t contain eggs or any raising agents, so I do not recommend baking it. If you want to bake these cookies, try this chocolate chip cookie recipe instead!

Once your cookie dough truffles have set, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep well for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them for up to 1 month.
