Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Davidson's Safest Choice Pasteurized Shell Egg Yolks
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1 3/4 cups mini chocolate chips, divided use
4 teaspoons shortening

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; continue to cook for 2 minutes, whisking constantly, until butter foams and turns light golden brown. Pour butter into large mixing bowl.

Add sugars, vanilla and salt to butter, and mix using a mixer on medium speed, until well combined - about 2 minutes. Beat in egg yolks until combined - about 1 minute. Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in flour until well combined. Stir in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips until combined.

Roll cookie dough into 24 balls. Freeze for 30 minutes.

In a medium bowl, melt remaining 1 1/4 cups mini chocolate chips and shortening in the microwave, stirring twice, until melted and smooth - about 1-2 minutes.

Dip cookie dough balls into chocolate and place on waxed paper to dry.

Makes 24 truffles

    I made a version of these that contained sweetened condensed milk...my hubby LOVED them. I'll have to try these...they look so good!

    These look amazing Emily. That first picture reminds of those pools of balls that I used to fall into when I was a kid at places like Chucky Cheese. As a adult, it sounds way better to jump in a pool full of these truffles.

    Just reading the title of this post made me salivate and feel very excited. Cookie dough in chocolate? Yes please!

    Forget you taking a cookie class. I think if you gave a class on cookies, it would fill to capacity within the first few minutes it was open.

    Do NOT pollute your mind with Charlie Sheen. Instead go back into the kitchen and make another batch of these. I'll get my address right out to you!

    I know some may not understand the shortening in the dipping mixture, but you're so right to add it. It makes the chocolate tons more dippable.

    I just bought some of those safe eggs the other day, and have been fearlessly enjoying egg sandwiches with runny yolks! I'm so glad safe eggs are becoming readily available in most stores...

    My sister/coblogger made a version of these last year with sweetened condensed milk, but these sound even better. I can't wait to make them myself!

    I made chocolate chip cookie dough truffles for new year's and they were a serious hit. The browned butter in these, though? Super classy.

    I have made these before using sweetened condensed milk, but I'd like to try your recipe using the pasteurized eggs. I bet the flavor tastes more like cookie dough.

    are you sure one person didn't take them all? because if i was around, that'd be the case. delightful work. :)

    I made some of these last night (using a different recipe)...the cookie dough balls are chilling in my fridge now until I get home and can cover them in chocolate! I hope mine turn out as lovely as yours did!
