Delicious Cookie Dough Truffles
All-day long, I dream of these heavenly Cookie Dough Truffles. If you have a craving strike and you are in NEED of chocolate, this is your saving grace. This recipe couldn’t be any easier, and it tastes like it was made in a high-quality candy factory.
INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup granulated white sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
2 tablespoons shortening
DIRECTIONS:
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter, brown sugar and white sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in milk and vanilla until combined, about 1 minute. Mix in flour just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
Shape into balls using 2 teaspoons of dough for each ball. Place on prepared pan, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Melt shortening and chocolate together in a metal bowl over a pan of lightly simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth, and remove from heat.
Working about 4 balls at a time, dip balls in chocolate using a spoon or a dipping fork and place on a waxed paper lined baking sheet. Keep the undipped balls in the refrigerator until ready to dip.
Once you have covered all the balls in chocolate, place in the refrigerator until the chocolate coating is set. If desired, drizzle chocolate on the balls for decoration.
