Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles...Ooh La La!
Oh My Gosh! I have to share with you the most awesome truffle recipe I found! I have made my fair share of candies and chocolates over the years and these ones are seriously freakin' good! You will crap your pants, no joke, they are so good! I was flip-flop blog-hopping one day and came across a recipe for these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles from Taste of Home by way of Candi over at Family, Stamping and FOOD, holy cats am I glad I found her blog! I am making loads of them for Valentine's gifts for our family, friends and neighbors and I thought I should share the wealth so you too could also have a super easy recipe for some Valentine's sweets to give to your loved ones! Yeah, I'm cool like that!
This recipe rocks for two main reasons (although I'm sure I could write out about 20 more if the possibility existed that I thought you might actually want to read them all!)
Reason Number One, these truffles are smooth and decadent and taste just like cookie dough...who loves themselves some chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, holla!
Reason Number Two, this is a recipe for chocolate chip cookie dough that doesn't require eggs so you can literally eat the dough as soon as you are done mixing, YUM! If you're like me and totally freak about salmonella in raw eggs than this recipe is just for you...and ME! I totally miss eating raw cookie dough and now all I can say is 'I'm back baby!'...WooHoo!
So have I convinced you of this recipe's awesome-ness yet? Need I say any more!?!
Ok then, on with the recipe..so good I tell you! Try them and then try not to eat them all!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles (makes about 5 1/2 dozen)
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
1 bar chocolate candy coating
Cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Gradually add flour, alternating with the sweetened condensed milk, beating well after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
In a microwave-safe bowl melt your candy coating following package directions. Take out your cookie dough mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. Dip balls into coating, drip off excess and let dry on a sheet of waxed paper, about 15 minutes. TRY to store in the refrigerator and TRY not to eat them all before your kids wake up from their nap, it's a challenge I'm not gonna lie!
Mmm...cookie dough!
Roll into balls, melt your chocolate and get ready to dip!
Dip, Dip and Dip!
Tick, tock, tick, tock...time to dry the chocolate.
This is the hardest part of the whole recipe, pinky swear!
Oh yes, my favorite part...testing the goods!
Delish!

These look delicious! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us....I can't wait to make them and to hide away to eat them all....LOL
Thanks for the linky love girl! And they are so good! Just a little tip, I only added about 2/3 of the can of sweetened condensed milk, just enough to get them like REAL cookie dough. And it worked great. Yours look delicious, wish I had some right now!
Ohhhh! Thank you, girl! Woo Hoo! Yeah, when you said cookie dough, I thought,"How can I eat it with raw eggs in it?" I'm so glad you found this recipe and shared it! Yeah, You're Cool!

Oh my goodness.....my husband LOVES cookie dough so I am going to have to surprise him with these for Valentine's Day! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!!!!
Yum yum! I am totally making these this weekend! I'm with you on the cookie dough - I'm pregnant and haven't been able to eat any dough at all, so I'm really looking forward to this. :)
I think I have died & gone to heaven!
This is a jawdropper.
Oh my gosh I think I love you. I must follow you and stalk you and make these truffles then profess my love for you again and celebrate a non-salmonella word with you as I shove cookie dough in my mouth with wild abandon and make a new kind of truffle, one of my baking passions!
Freakin' YAY man!!!!
Just made these for V-day. Holy cow are they good! Thank you for the recipe!
I made these for Valentine's Day this year...my family really liked them....my kids liked to eat them without being dipped, so I left some undipped, too. Thanks for sharing this recipe!!
Oh and these are totally low fat, zero calories right? These are seriously on my to-do list!
Can't wait to try this! I'm sharing with my readers :)
Maggie, I just wanted to let you know that I found this recipe on Pinterest and shared my experience with making it on my blog at http://thisgirlnamederin.blogspot.com/2011/06/cookie-dough-anyone.html

okay so even though mine werent pretty balls (they were more flat like pepermint patties) they tasted so yummy!!!!! im all out and craving more! must make these again! do you think i can freeze some to save for the holidays? by the way i figured out where i went wrong i melted my butter not softened it! everyone at the party loved them though. thank you so much for my new favorite dessert!im sending it to my sister now :)
Do I need to use candy coating or can I melt chocolate chips and use that to cover the dough with?
Hmm, I usually only use the candy coating so I don't know...it may turn out just fine with chips though!
You definitely don't want to skip the part about putting the dough into the fridge to harden up a little. If you don't, you will have a sticky mess like others have commented. Also, I learned, make them small because these things are RICH. Gotta love Taste of Home!
Here's mine...http://fromchapelhilltochickenville.blogspot.com/2012/01/cookie-dough-truffles.html
PS. Add a sprinkle of salt on the top and it puts them OVER the top.
