Cookie Dough Truffles


These truffles are seriously good. For all cookie dough lovers, this is a yummy treat!  My three-year-old particularly enjoys them.  In fact, she helped make them.  If you want to be fancy you can cover the entire truffle with chocolate.  Since my daughter was helping me, I let her spoon the chocolate over the truffles, just covering the tops.  Either way they are delicious!

Makes about 50 Truffles

1/2 Cup (1 stick) Unsalted Butter (room temperature)
3/4 Cup Light Brown Sugar
1 Tsp Vanilla
2 Cups Flour (White or Whole Wheat works)
14oz Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
3/4 Cup Mini Chocolate Chips
12oz Package of Dark Chocolate Candy Coating
50 Mini Cupcake liners

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar.  Beat in vanilla, flour and milk, alternate the flour and milk until all incorporated.  Stir in chocolate chips.

Place liners on a baking sheet.  Using a 1" cookie scoop, scoop a ball of dough into each liner.  Cover with waxed paper and place in the fridge for about an hour, until firm.

In a microwave safe bowl, melt the candy coating slowly, stirring until smooth.  Using a spoon, drip candy coating over top each of the truffles.  Work fairly efficiently so the chocolate does not harden and get clumpy.  Once each truffles is topped, refrigerate again to set the chocolate.  Then sit back and enjoy one!
