Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

(loveandoliveoil.com)

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking soda

1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine (room temperature)

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1/3 cup milk or soy milk

1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

14 oz dark chocolate candy coating

Directions:

Beat butter and sugars in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add milk and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt and mix on low speed (or by hand) until incorporated. Stir in choc chips.

Cover and chill for 1 hour

When dough is firm enough to handle (it may help to lightly flour your hands), form dough into 1” balls and arrange on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Place sheets in freezer and let chill for 30 minutes.

Melt chocolate candy coating in a double boiler or in microwave according to package directions. Using forks or a dipping tool, dip cookie balls into candy coating to cover. Tap fork on side of pan to remove any excess coating and return to waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Chill until set.

Store, chilled, in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
