I found this recipe in a Taste of Home Magazine years ago, and it has become one of my most popular candies (I make gourmet cupcakes, truffles, and cakes for a living). They take some time, but they are SOO worth it. They make the perfect gift for Valentine's Day! I place them into individual mini-cupcake liners to dress them up!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups flour

How To Make chocolate chip cookie dough truffles

  • Step 1
    Cream butter,brown sugar, and vanilla.
  • Step 2
    Add flour alternately with sweetened condensed milk, stirring until well mixed.
  • Step 3
    Add mini chocolate chips and stir well.
  • Step 4
    Form dough into 1 inch balls (if the dough is too soft, you can refrigerate for 30 minutes prior to rolling into balls - also helps to flour your hands).
  • Step 5
    Place formed balls on wax paper lined cookie sheets, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour. (When I've been in a hurry, I have put them in the freezer for 10 minutes and it's worked perfectly.)
  • Step 6
    Melt 1 C chocolate chips with 1 Tbl of Crisco in microwave, stirring every 30 minutes until smooth.
  • Step 7
    Dip balls of dough into melted chocolate (I use a fork so that the excess chocolate will pass between the tines of the fork) and place back on wax paper.
  • Step 8
    Refrigerate dipped balls until chocolate is firm (or freeze them again for approximately 5 to 10 minutes).
  • Step 9
    Decorate the dipped balls however you wish! You may use melted white chocolate to drizzle over them, sprinkle them with heath bits (before the chocolate sets), or sprinkle with a few of the mini chocolate chips.
  • Step 10
    Store in airtight container in the refrigerator.
