Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

 It is no secret that the people that live in my house like chocolate chip cookie dough.  I was watching Paula Deen one day and she gave a recipe for chocolate chip cookie dough truffles. . . YUM!  So being that I had three of these solid kisses that kids in my class gave me I decided to make them. . .
 Here is the melted chocolate in my homemade double boiler

Here are the truffles pre dipping. . . 
and here are the finished product. . . they were super yummy and Ryan was very bummed when they went to school. . .  

Here is the recipe
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup semisweet mini chocolate morsels
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1 1/2 pounds chocolate bark candy coating, melted

Directions

In a large bowl cream butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Add vanilla. Gradually beat in flour and add milk. Add chocolate morsels and pecans, mixing well. Shape into 1-inch balls. Place on waxed paper; chill 2 hours.

*Cook's Note: Since the dough is sticky, roll your fingers into flour. This will make it easier to roll.

Melt chocolate bark candy coating in a double boiler. Using 2 forks, dip cookie balls into candy coating to cover. Place on waxed paper and chill to set. Store in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

  1. I thought you were going to say that you made them while at Katie's and were bringing some home for me to try. Check out the red velvet truffles on Bakerella and let me know if Ryan likes them.
