Cookie Dough Balls


Like cookies?  Like cookie dough?  This is my spin a Paula Dean recipe for cookie dough truffles.  Caution: these things can be addicting.  Allow at least a couple of hours for this recipe.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups (284g) AP four
  • 1 stick (4oz) butter at room temp.
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tsp of vanilla, almond, mint, or whatever extract
  • pinch of salt
  • chocolate chips
  • chocolate for coating
Cream butter, sugar, and salt together.  Add extract.  I used mint for the one's pictured above. Add flour alternatively with condensed milk.  Add chocolate.  I used a combination of semisweet, white, and chopped up Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark.  You can add as little or much as you want.  Nuts work well.  Roll dough into any size balls you wish.  These were on the smaller side.  Place on wax or parchment paper and chill for at least an hour.  Melt chocolate for coating.  Again, be creative and use whatever you want.  I used about a pound and a half of Trader Joe's semisweet chips.  Using two forks dip balls into chocolate to coat and place back on parchment.   Allow chocolate to harden and enjoy.  Store in refrigerator.
