Cookie Dough Truffles


I made these for hubby for Valentine's Day.
These are a recipe from The Queen of butter - Paula Dean!

Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup semisweet mini chocolate morsels
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 1/2 pounds chocolate bark candy coating, melted
Directions

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 and pecans, mixing well. Shape into 1-inch balls. Place on waxed paper; chill 2 hours.


*Cook's Note: Since the dough is sticky, roll your fingers into flour. This will make it easier to roll.


Melt chocolate bark candy coating in a double boiler. 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.
My notes on this recipe-
I formed the balls and put them in the fridge but they did not set up enough to dip. I put them in the freezer for 30 minutes and then rerolled into balls right before dipping.
