Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup milk or soy milk (I used regular skim milk)
1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 12-oz package chocolate chips or dark candy coating (for dipping).
Directions:
Beat butter and sugars and in large bowl with until light and fluffy. Add milk and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt and stir until incorporated. Stir in mini chocolate chips.
Cover and chill dough for 1 hour. (I think I actually omitted this step when I did it...oops)
When dough is firm enough to handle (it may help to lightly flour your hands), form dough into 1″ balls and arrange on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Place sheets in the fridge and let chill for 30 minutes.
Melt chocolate candy coating or chips in a double boiler or in microwave (I used the microwave - I zapped about half the chips at a time, for 30 seconds or until glossy and then stirred for awhile until they were completely melted.) Using forks or a dipping tool, dip cookie balls into candy coating to cover. (I actually used my hands because the cookie dough kept falling off the fork. Hands was VERY messy, but seemed to work well for the truffles). Chill until set. Store, chilled, in an airtight container. MMMMMM so good!
Oh, I made these for my boyfriend for Valentine's Day. They're so delicious!
ReplyDeleteAlso, it's dangerous to now know that you can make good cookie dough without eggs for when you're craving cookie dough but nervous about salmonella.
Did you find this on "Love and Olive Oil" (blog)? A friend shared that site with me, and I just KNEW I had to make these!
oops, apparently my comment DID post...there was some glitch. You can delete this comment (and one of the above comments). I was getting weird error messages.
ReplyDeleteHiiii Steph! It took me a second to figure out who you were :) and yeah I found it from Love and Olive Oil. I should add the link. And same - I immediately saw them and knew I had to make them!
