Cream together 1 cup butter with the sugars until lightened and fluffy. Add the vanilla and mix again. Add the cinnamon, salt, and baking soda, and mix until incorporated. Add the milk and beat.
1 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pinch baking soda, 1 tablespoon milk
Scrape down your bowl, then mix again. Add flour and stir until just about mixed, then add the mini chips.
2 1/4 cups flour, 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Using the smallest cookie scoop you own, scoop out truffles. Place on a cookie sheet with parchment or a silpat.
If they are sticky, place the cookie sheet in the fridge for a few minutes (no more than 5). Roll it in your hands to smooth it into a sphere and replace on the cookie sheet. Place the sheet in fridge until chocolate is ready.
Melt dark chocolate and remaining butter until chocolate is mostly melted. Stir the chocolate to finish the melting.
2 cups dark chocolate, 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Remove cookie sheet from the fridge. Coat a truffle in chocolate and gently shake to remove excess chocolate. Return to cookie sheet.
Once all the truffles are complete, refrigerate again until chocolate is fully hardened. Melt additional chocolate, either the same or another kind, and decorate the top of the truffles or leave them as is.
Store in a container in fridge until you serve, then let come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

You could also make this gluten free as well as dairy free by using almond flour or another gluten free flour, coconut oil in place of butter and coconut, or rice milk in place of milk.
If you don't have a cookie scoop to make the truffles, use a spoon to ensure they're all the same size. You want them to be the size of a gumball to make them easy to eat, though they are just as tasty when slightly smaller than a ping pong ball.
