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
Those look awesome! I need some of those in my life :D
ReplyDeleteI made a version of these that contained sweetened condensed milk...my hubby LOVED them. I'll have to try these...they look so good!
ReplyDeleteThese 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.
ReplyDeleteJust reading the title of this post made me salivate and feel very excited. Cookie dough in chocolate? Yes please!
ReplyDeleteForget 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
We made choc chip cookie dough truffles for christmas and they where gone soo quickly. I really need an excuse to make them again, and I'll definitely try yours this time!
ReplyDeleteI 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...
ReplyDeleteMy 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.
ReplyDeletewhat a treat, I am on a truffle kick and this looks so good...too good
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOD
ReplyDeleteThese look incredible! I've never had a homemade truffle but these tempt me to try it myself...
Mmm browned butter makes everything so much better!! I can't wait to try your version of cookie dough truffles :)
ReplyDeleteYou're brilliant! And I know what you're talking about with the brown butter. I get carried away with it!
ReplyDeleteOh my!!! Can I keep you?
ReplyDeleteYum, Yum, Yummmmmmy:)
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised these disappeared so fast!! I'd be all over them in a second :)
ReplyDeletelove brown butter and love this idea! they look scrumptious.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteSue, it's too late!
these look amazing!
ReplyDeletei make oreo ball truffles.
oreos, cream cheese, blended together...and dipped in choc. I need to make your cookie dough truffs.
yums :)
Oh they look amazing!
ReplyDeletei can see why these would disappear in a snap. they look perfect!
ReplyDeleteOh Charlie Sheen ;)
ReplyDeleteAHHHH I need those truffles. Please? PLEASE??? :D
These look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI've seen some other recipes that actually don't use any eggs, but these sound fabulous.. who doesn't love eating cookie dough?! And I don't blame you for watching Charlie Sheen.. he's CRAZY!
ReplyDeleteYUM! Chocolate chip cookie dough always makes for a great day!
ReplyDeletethese would last about 4.5 seconds at my house. deeeelish!
ReplyDeleteThey look so good Emily. I think they would make a great gift and can just see how pretty they would look inside a nice gift box! I know I would love to get a box of these!
ReplyDeleteI love you and hate you all at the same time.. but mostly love :p Definitely going in the recipe database!
ReplyDeleteThese sound amazing. I'm sure if I brought them to work, they would go fast too. That would be if they ever made it to my work :)
ReplyDeleteBravo ça a l'air excellent
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteare you sure one person didn't take them all? because if i was around, that'd be the case. delightful work. :)
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteYum! I love chocolate chip cookies! In truffle form I would love it even more :)
ReplyDeletejust found your blog and I'm so excited bc these look absolutely amazing!!!
ReplyDeletehappy baking!
xo, Mini Baker
I just made (& posted about) a version of these, too. Browned butter ... nice touch!
