cookie dough truffles

i got this recipe from my cousin emilee after sampling some that she had brought over
they are even better than they sound and they have been snatched up wherever I take them.

It makes a big batch so either prepare to share or feel really sick from eating them all yourself!

enjoy

Cookie Dough Truffles

1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 cups flour
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
Approximately 2 boxes of Bakers Semisweet Chocolate

Cream softened butter & sugar together. Add flour, sweetened condensed milk & vanilla. Mix well. Stir in chocolate chips.

Shape dough into 1 inch balls and place on parchment paper (or wax paper works too). Cover & refrigerate (or set outside if it's cold out) for about an hour.
Melt baker's chocolate in microwave (remember to use 1/2 power so you don't burn the chocolate, and stir often) for coating the truffles. (don't melt all of the chocolate at once, it'll cool too much and be hard to dip the truffles in)

Dip balls in melted chocolate and place on parchment/wax paper. Refrigerate until firm (10-15 minutes or so) these freeze very well too!

To make them look extra fancy, melt a small bowl of while chocolate chips, and place into a ziplock bag, cut a very small hole in the corner of the bag and then drizzle the chocolate all over the truffles & top with a few rainbow sprinkles.
Pope one in your mouth for a reward and enjoy!!!
