Cookie dough truffles

I found these tempting cookie dough truffles in the How sweet it is blog. I had to make them, they looked so irresistible. And if someone's wondering why on earth do I suddenly cook so many sweets, the answer is that all of these are going to be christmas presents. These cookie truffles are easy to make, and they really are what americans call yummy. It's a pity that these are going to be presents, I'd like to eat them myself.


Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups flour

1 can sweetened, condensed milk

3/4 cup milk chocolate chips


To coat:

400g milk chocolate (I used Fazer's blue)


1. In a large bowl cream butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Add vanilla. Gradually beat in flour and add milk. Add chocolate morsels, mixing well. Put in the fridge for 20-30 minutes, it helps you to roll the balls later.


2. Shape into little balls. Since the dough is sticky, roll your fingers into flour. This will make it easier to roll. Place on perchment paper; chill 2 hours.


3. Melt chocolate chips or disks in a double boiler.



4. Using 2 forks, dip cookie balls into candy coating to cover. Place on waxed paper and chill to set. Store in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
