Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Shape cookie dough into 1 1/4-inch balls; place 2 inches apart on 2 ungreased cookie sheets.
  • 2
    Bake 8 to 9 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool on cookie sheets 5 minutes. With buttered hands, shape each cookie into ball; refrigerate 10 to 15 minutes or until completely cooled. Meanwhile, line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper or waxed paper; set aside.
  • 3
    In medium microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips uncovered on High 60 to 90 seconds, stirring until smooth.
  • 4
    Dip cooled cookie balls, one at a time, into melted chocolate, place on cookie sheet. If chocolate becomes too thick, reheat chocolate. Refrigerate truffles about 10 minutes or until coating is set.

  • Stir 2 tablespoons shortening into melted chocolate for easier dipping.
  • Dress up your truffles by topping with chopped peanuts, or chocolate-covered peanut butter cup candies.
  • We love to use cooking parchment paper to make these cookies. Not only do they keep your cookie sheets clean, but after the cookies bake, you can use the parchment-lined cookie sheets to let your freshly coated chocolate-covered balls set up on!
  • Be sure to let your cookies cool the full 5-minutes so they won’t burn your hands when rolled into balls.
  • Use a fork to dip each cookie ball into the chocolate. The excess will drip back into the bowl through the tines of the fork.
