One of our favorite recipes during the holidays is Cookie Dough Truffles. (I know they are not very healthy) Because of the non-healthy factor I only make these at Christmastime and I limit the consumption. This recipe is super easy and yummy.

Here is the recipe from Taste of Home. If you would like to print it out you can go here.

1/2 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

1 1/2 pounds semisweet candy coating, chopped

*the recipe also calls for 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, but we leave these out.

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour, milk and vanilla; mix well. Stir in the chocolate chps and walnuts (optional). Shape into 1-in. balls; place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Loosely cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until firm.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt candy coating, stirring often until smooth. (I use a double-broiler on my stove to melt my chocolate) Dip balls in coating; place on waxed paper until firm, about 15 minutes. If desired, remelt remaining candy coating and drizzle over candies. Store in air tight container in the refrigerator. Yield: 5 1/2 dozen truffles.
