Cookie Dough Truffles

How many of you out there love cookie dough? Well, these Cookie Dough Truffles will satisfy your craving without raw eggs. Oh-my-goodness-YUM! To quote my son, “These are too good.” So, if cookie dough is your thing, you need to make these!  Right now! You still have time to make them for Christmas or New Years.

There are lots of recipes out there for eggless raw cookie dough, but I just used my regular recipe without the eggs and baking soda plus a little extra butter to make up for moisture missing from the eggs. The results were perfect!

The recipe calls for 20 ounces of chocolate for dipping. You can used any chocolate you want really. I have been using half candy melts and half semi-sweet chocolate because the half-and-half mixture gives the smoothness of the melts, but tastes richer, but whatever you want will work. I prefer semi-sweet, but you could go with milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, colored white candy melts – whatever makes you happy. I melt mine in the microwave at 50 percent power using 30 second intervals and stirring well between each interval.
