Well now! Shut the back door.
Do I have a yummy treat for you today, my blog reading friends.
I’m sure many of you have seen recipes for cookie dough truffles floating around the food blogosphere.
Well, I had to get my hands on some.
Just had to.
I’m weird like that.
I can’t have folks making cookie dough and dipping it in chocolate with out me.
You heard me.
COOKIE DOUGH DIPPED IN CHOCOLATE…
Did I not say “shut the back door”?
Shut it up tight and get to mixin’ and dippin’
mixin’ and dippin’
and tastin’
and ooooo-in’
and aaahhhhh-in’
and just plain enjoyin’ the life God gave ya.
while you dip it in chocolate….
Cookie Dough Truffles
Yield: 48 truffles
Time: about 40 min hands on time + 2 hours to freeze before dipping
Recipe adapted from Mels Kitchen Cafe
1/2 C butter, softened
3/4 C brown sugar, packed
2 1/4 C flour
1 -14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 t vanilla
1/2 C mini chocolate chips
2 -12 oz bags semi sweet chocolate chips
1/4 C milk chocolate chips
1 T shortening, divided
1. Cream your butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
2. Add the flour, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla and mix well.
3. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
4. Shape into 1 inch balls and place on a sprayed cookie sheet. Cover with saran wrap and freeze for 1-2 hours. You want them to be firm here folks. It makes the dipping a lot easier.
5. In a liquid measuring cup (I used the cup that will hold 16 oz, or 2 cups) melt your semi sweet chocolate in the microwave. Only heat it for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating interval.
Add about 2 t of shortening to the chocolate and stir to incorporate.
6. Dip each frozen cookie dough ball into the chocolate and then place on wax paper.
7. Melt the milk chocolate in the microwave and add 1 t shortening. Stir it well and then drizzle it over the tops of the truffles.
7. Put the truffles back in the fridge to set for about 15 minutes.
Enjoy!

I saw this recipe yesterday and absolutely had to make them! I didn't have mini chips either so I just used the regular sized Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips and then dipped them in milk chocolate and topped them with semi-sweet.
They are fabulous!! My husband can't stop eating them. And they are even more fantastic the next day. Thank you for this awesome recipe. I'm sure I will make them again soon!
Jamie, when Katherine picks Katelyn up I'll send her home with 2 plates instead of 1. 🙂
I made these and everyone loves them…me too of coarse.
I made these for FHE and shared with my seminary class. We all loved them. Mine are not beautiful like yours, but delicious. Thanks for the yummy recipe.
Made them and LOVE them!!! they taste as heavenly as they look.. i love your recipes.

Delicious!! Looks amazing. I also just made some fudge for halewolen. acraftygourmet.blogspot.com/2012/10/healthy-halewolen-candy-coconut-carob-alternative.htmlI’m going to test yours out as well. Yum!! Yay for real food Halloween options!
So last night I came home from work after a really bad day, and my wife had made the cookie dough truffles- they were the best surprise I could have hoped for! The recipe is fantastic and I love her more than ever for finding these amazing treats. Keep posting great food!
I just found your blog through a friend. She raved about your quick fluffy dinner rolls. While I am going to try those this recipe is an absolute must try. So much so that my husband offered to stop for groceries on his way home tonight to get the ingredients! Thanks.
