   In a medium bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.

   Mix in the vanilla extract.

   Gradually add in the heat-treated flour and salt, mixing until combined. (To heat-treat flour, spread it out on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes, then cool before using.)

   Take small portions of the cookie dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all the dough is formed, place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 15-30 minutes to firm up the truffles.

    Remove the chilled cookie dough balls from the freezer. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to lift it out and allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
