Cookie Dough Truffles

Cookie Dough Truffles

½ cup butter, softened
¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 x 300 ml can of sweetened condensed milk
½ cup semi-sweet chipits (for the cookie dough)
1 cup finely chopped pecans (optional) **
2 x 270g packs milk chocolate chipits, melted (to coat the cookie dough balls)

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 condensed milk.  Add chocolate semi-sweet chipits and pecans, mixing well.
Shape into 1-inch balls (since the dough is sticky, roll your fingers into flour, this will keep the dough from sticking and make it easier to roll.)
Place on waxed paper, chill 2 hours.

Melt milk chocolate chipits in a glass bowl and place above a pot with simmering/boiling water. Mix to help melting process.

Using 2 forks (I ended up using 2 spoons) to dip cookie balls into chocolate.  Place on waxed paper and chill to set. Store in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Yields - 5 dozen truffles (apparently, but I was only able to make 36 – this was my first time making it though lol)
