Baking Kate: Cookie Dough Truffles
Monday, April 25, 2016
Happy Monday, everyone!
I hope you're all having a great start to this week. And if not, this recipe post is perfect for you.
So here's the situation.
A while back I had friends over and we baked chocolate chip cookies for dessert. As you do. By the time we were supposed to form the dough into small balls, half of the cookie dough was gone. Surprise? Not really, because who can possibly resist chocolate chip cookie dough?! This led me to an idea (that has been done so many times before but I have never given it a try until now. Shock!). Take out all the ingredients that may go bad and voilà, you've got chocolate chip cookie dough to store and eat whenever you fancy a cookie dough truffle. Let's be honest, though, it's not a question of how long you can store them, but of how long they will survive for. These truffles are not only great as a snack inbetween but also as chunks in vanilla icecream. Basically Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough icecream homemade.
Happy Baking!
