Cookie Dough Truffles

Cookie dough dipped in chocolate? YES! I've seen recipes for this in the past and thought I'd give it a try. They are very rich, so prepare yourselves for some yum. I suggest eating them slowly. :) Cyndi directed me to this food blog called Jamie Cooks It Up, where she's got some fantastic looking recipes I can't wait to try.

Cookie Dough Truffles
Yield: 48 truffles (Mine made 60!)
Time: about 40 min hands on time + 2 hours to freeze before dipping


1/2 C butter, softened
3/4 C brown sugar, packed
2 1/4 C flour
1 -14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 t vanilla
1/2 C mini chocolate chips (I just chopped up some chocolate chips)
2 -12 oz bags semi sweet chocolate chips
1/4 C milk chocolate chips(or use White Chocolate for fun)
1 T shortening, divided (I used butter and it was GREAT)


1. Cream your butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
2. Add the flour, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla and mix well.
3. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.



4. Shape into 1 inch balls and place on a sprayed cookie sheet. Cover with saran wrap and freeze for 1-2 hours. You want them to be firm here folks. It makes the dipping a lot easier.
5. In a liquid measuring cup (I used the cup that will hold 16 oz, or 2 cups) melt your semi sweet chocolate in the microwave. Only heat it for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating interval.
Add about 2 t of shortening(butter) to the chocolate and stir to incorporate.
6. Dip each frozen cookie dough ball into the chocolate and then place on wax paper.
7. Melt the milk chocolate in the microwave and add 1 t shortening(butter). Stir it well and then drizzle it over the tops of the truffles.
7. Put the truffles back in the fridge to set for about 15 minutes(I just let mine set up on the counter, it takes longer, but I didn't want to have to bring them back to room temperature again).
Enjoy!
