Cookie Dough Truffles

Eating store-bought cookie dough can be dangerous, so you can have ease of mind while eating these homemade balls of chocolate covered dough. There are no eggs to be found in this recipe, so the only thing to worry about is running out of them.


Ingredients:


1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate, chopped in small pieces (or mini semisweet chocolate chips)
4 cups semisweet chocolate, for melting


1. With an electric mixer, cream together the butter and brown sugar on medium speed in a large bowl. Add in vanilla and beat.

2. Beat in flour – 1/2 cup at a time – alternately with condensed milk. Once mixture becomes combined well, mix in the 1/2 cup of chocolate morsels.

3. With flour on your hands, shape mixture into 1-inch balls. Place balls on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours.

4. After chilled, melt the 4 cups of chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute; stir. Microwave for an additional 30 seconds, or until chocolate is completely melted. Using 2 forks, dip chilled cookie dough balls into the melted chocolate to cover completely.

5. Place back on the waxed paper and continue coating balls in chocolate. Once all balls are coated, return to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.

Then, enjoy!
