First of all, please excuse the terrible photos. I brought these to work for a potluck and when I took the pictures it was 6:00am. These were a real hit with the ladies at work. They are so easy to make and would make a super sweet treat for your valentine. If you love the taste of raw cookie dough, but don’t like eating it because of the raw egg, then these are for you. They taste just like cookie dough, but they don’t contain any eggs. Your sweetheart will love you for making these. Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
8 tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 lb. semisweet (or bittersweet) chocolate, coarsely chopped
Mini chocolate chips (for garnish)
Directions:
Combine the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and cream on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the flour, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla until incorporated and smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the mixture has firmed up enough to form balls.
Shape the chilled cookie dough mixture into 1-1½ inch balls. Place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Cover loosely, transfer the pan to the freezer and chill for 1-2 hours.
When ready to dip the truffles, melt the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Dip each chilled truffle, one at a time, coating in chocolate and shaking gently to remove the excess. (If at any point during dipping, the cookie dough balls become too soft, return to the freezer to chill for 30 minutes.) Transfer to a wax-paper lined surface. If using mini chocolate chips for garnish, sprinkle on top quickly after dipping each truffle before the chocolate sets. Once all the truffles have been dipped, store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Yum! I made a similar eggless version for a friend a while back as part of a cookie-of-the-month birthday gift…she said they were her absolute favourite of all the ‘cookies’ I made.
I’ve had these before… so delicious! I posted them for a Chocolate Friday post…

these were harder to coat with chocolate than i thought they would be! do you have any tips? i used semi-sweet chocolate chips and it was so thick i was not able to “shake off” the excess. then eventually the dough part started to melt off into the chocolate. what do you do with the simmering chocolate while you are re-chilling the balls? thanks for sharing your great idea!
Thanks ladies!
Eric and Erica – Chocolate chips aren’t the best for melting and dipping. You can buy chocolate that is specifically for melting and it works a lot better. You can buy it at the grocery store or bulk food store. That should improve the process a lot. If you need to re-heat the chocolate you could always pop it in the microwave for a few seconds. I hope that helps!
Jill? Horrible photos you say? Are you kidding…okay, then. Come on over and do my photography for me! hahahhaa.
Awesome looking.. the photos too!
