chocolate chip cookie dough truffles
(1 RATING)
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!

How To Make chocolate chip cookie dough truffles
-
Step 1Cream butter,brown sugar, and vanilla.
-
Step 2Add flour alternately with sweetened condensed milk, stirring until well mixed.
-
Step 3Add mini chocolate chips and stir well.
-
Step 4Form 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 5Place 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 6Melt 1 C chocolate chips with 1 Tbl of Crisco in microwave, stirring every 30 minutes until smooth.
-
Step 7Dip 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 8Refrigerate dipped balls until chocolate is firm (or freeze them again for approximately 5 to 10 minutes).
-
Step 9Decorate 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 10Store in airtight container in the refrigerator.
