Alright ladies, lock your cupboards before you read this recipe.
I have to admit that I love cookie dough. It’s just one of those things. I would probably eat cookie dough rather than have an actual cookie. The only thing that puts me off just a touch is the raw egg factor.
Wait a minute. What’s that you say? A recipe for cookie dough truffles with no raw eggs?
Look. Out.
These little delicious truffles are something I will risk a cranky baby for, and that is truly saying something. As you may not know, my beautiful baby girl is a very picky eater, and has a very delicate stomach to anything that I eat. Especially to chocolate. Sound like a cosmic joke? I thought so as well, but have surprisingly have been able to give up my one love for another.
Until these came along.
I promise I did very well, and behaved myself, and B ate almost all of them on his own (as a true testament to their deliciousness since he did not, as he usually does, forget about them as soon as they were off the counter and into the fridge, but kept going back for more).
Unfortunately, while he was at school one day, my willpower was weaker than normal. And, let’s just say, there were a few leftover truffles in the fridge.
Aaand he came back after a long day, and, well, the truffles were no more. The conversation went something like this:
B: Are there any more of those truffles left?
c: No, they’re all gone.
B: You aren’t supposed to eat those!
c: I only ate one, right after I fed little b.
B: There was more than one left…
c: Yes. Well, I ate one after each time I fed her. Did I forget to mention that?
B: sigh.
Evil, delicious truffles. Try them. Trust me.
Recipe barely adapted from the fabulous Erin @ Dinners, Dishes, and Desserts, where you can find all kinds of tempting treats!
- ½ cups butter
- ¾ cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 pound semi-sweet chocolate, for melting
- In an electric mixer, beat together butter and sugar. Add vanilla. With mixer on low, slowly add in the flour and salt, until completely incorporated. It will be very dry but that is okay. Beat in milk until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour. The dough should be very firm.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out dough and roll in hands to form balls. Place on a lined baking tray. Refrigerate again for at least 30 minutes, or until you are ready to dip.
- Melt chocolate in the microwave or using a double boiler. Dip dough into melted chocolate. Place on the lined baking tray. If desired, decorate with sprinkles, colored sugars, chocolate chips, etc. Allow the chocolate to fully harden.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge, or freeze for longer storage. When you want them, thaw them in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
- Makes approximately 36 truffles, depending on size.
Love it… your idea for cookie dough truffles and your writing!
These seem very dangerous! I’m lucky I don’t have any sweetened condensed milk in the house right now!
You just hit a soft spot. Oh my gosh. <3
I’ve made something similar and they are AMAZING! our favorite dessert ever!
Yum! I too love cookie dough, I think more then the actual cookie! I am for sure going to make these, they look amazing!!
Love the funny write-up and definitely love the recipe…how will I ever lose that extra 10lbs I gained at Christmas?!?
Yours look wonderful! Thank you very much for the shout out! I would have been in for it had my son had a problem with me eating chocolate while nursing!
PS. This is the perfect recipe to make as a gift for a pregnant woman (who might incidentally be yourself), since it’s even more of a ‘no-no’ for them to eat cookie dough. :) Or for anyone, for that matter. i.e. someone who’s just had a baby, or needs a pick me up treat.
I totally love this recipe. I first discovered it on the ‘smashed peas and carrots’ blog site two years ago. It’s identical to yours, except that yours has more chocolate chips. Hm, more chocolate chips or more cookie dough per truffle… that’s a toss up! Anyway, it’s awesome seeing pictures along the way during the making of yummy things such as this, so I thought I’d share the link. :) All the food you two post is amazing! Thanks for sharing!
