Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
Coating and Decoration
- Chocolate Almond Bark or melting chocolate, for dipping
- White Almond Bark or melting chocolate (optional, for drizzling)
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and packed brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, then beat in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Combine Flour and Milk: Gradually add the all-purpose flour into the butter mixture, alternating with the sweetened condensed milk. Stir gently to combine without overmixing.
- Add Mix-ins: Fold in the mini chocolate chips and, if desired, chopped walnuts to the dough for extra texture and flavor.
- Freeze Dough: Transfer the cookie dough to a smaller bowl and freeze it for about 1 hour. Freezing helps firm up the dough for easier shaping.
- Form Balls: Remove the dough from the freezer and roll it into small balls. Place the balls on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper, then return them to the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm again.
- Melt Coating: Melt the Chocolate Almond Bark or melting chocolate in the microwave in short intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip Truffles: Take 5-6 cookie dough balls from the freezer and dip each one completely into the melted chocolate. Place the coated truffles on wax paper to set.
- Decorate: Immediately add sprinkles to the dipped truffles or optionally drizzle with melted white almond bark or white chocolate for a decorative finish.
- Repeat and Store: Repeat the dipping and decorating process for the remaining balls. Store the finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Allow them to warm up slightly before serving for the best texture and flavor.
