Cookie Dough Truffles. You're Welcome.

Want to make friends and influence people?
Read on.

This holiday season, as you attend countless parties at school, church, work, friends' homes, you'll no doubt be whipping up a goodie or two (hundred) to take with you.

Put down your cookie cutters and your fruit cakes. This is the recipe to take.


These truffles taste exactly like chocolate chip cookie dough, except without the pesky raw egg/salmonella thing.


And trust me when I say that people love them.


Especially little people with ponytails.


Try them. Really. But be warned: I cannot guarantee that gluttony will not result from making these truffles.

Cookie Dough Truffles
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
(1/2 cup chopped nuts optional)
1-1/2 pounds semisweet chocolate candy coating (this is the Wilton brand that I used...you can buy it anywhere that sells cake decorating supplies)

In bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until fluffy.
Add the flour, condensed milk, and vanilla; mix well.
Stir in the chocolate chips (& nuts if using).
Shape into 1 inch balls; place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets.
Loosely cover & refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or until firm.

Melt candy coating according to package directions. (I microwaved mine in 30 second increments.)
Dip balls in coating; place on wax papered baking sheets.
Refrigerate until firm, aprox. 15 minutes.
Optional: drizzle remaining candy coating on top, or use red & green candy melts like I did.

Makes aprox. 5 dozen
