Hello friends, family, and random people who may have found my blog! As many of you know, I LOVE food and I love to cook up new recipes & old faves. After teasing people on facebook with statuses announcing yummy food, I decided to start an outlet to share my food adventures AND share recipes with you all. Chances are, I may not post as often as I should or want, but I'll try my best to keep you interested and your bellies full.
To start, I'll entice you with a recipe I just came across this past week and it turned out with positive results- so here it is folks!!!!
Cookie Dough Truffles
(eggless! so moms abound can't yell at you about salmonella poisoning!)
Ingredients:
-1/2 c butter, softened
-3/4 c packed brown sugar
-1 tsp vanilla
-2 1/2 c all-purpose flour
-1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
-1/2 c mini chocolate chips
-1 1/2 lb chocolate candy coating (& any decor ideas!) (I wound up just using 2 (12 oz) bags of milk chocolate chips to coat and they turned out yummy)
Directions:
-Cream butter and brown sugar until fluffy.
-Beat in vanilla.
-Gradually add flour and sweetened condensed milk-alternating (as in, add a little flour, little milk, so on) & beat well. The recipe says 2 1/2 cups of flour, I had to add a little more in because the dough was sticky. -Stir in chocolate chips.
-Shape into 1-inch balls. I had to put the dough in the fridge for like 10 minutes so it was easier to roll into balls.
-After rolling into balls, I put them in the freezer, covered, for about a half hour- this made them easier to dip in chocolate, which is the next step.
-Melt the chocolate and then dip the dough balls in, and place on a tray for chocolate to harden.
-Once all are complete, put the truffles in the fridge- they must be kept refrigerated.
If I had tips on dipping the dough balls into the chocolate, I would give them but I cannot say they looked pretty when I finished them! I put each ball in the chocolate, and covered it with chocolate and put a fork under it to lift it out of the chocolate, letting some extra chocolate drip. I then put a large cookie sheet down, covered it with wax paper, then put on a wire drying rack- this worked, but after refrigeration when I tried to remove the truffles some of the bottoms ripped off.
The end result though...TASTY! Not guilt-free, but can hit the sweet tooth. Hope you guys enjoy this and any recipe to come :)
