Easter Egg Cookie Dough Truffles Recipe

Prep Time: 30

Cook Time: 8

Total Time: 8 30

Servings:

½ cup butter room temperature
¾ cup brown sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour Before making the dough, spread the flour on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake it at 350°F until it reaches 165°F. This usually takes about 5 minutes, but use an instant-read thermometer if you want to be precise. Let the flour cool completely before adding it to the mixing bowl.
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 cup mini chocolate chips
candy melts

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in the vanilla. Slowly add the flour, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
With the mixer still running, slowly pour in the sweetened condensed milk. Once it is fully combined, stir in the chocolate chips.
Form the dough into 1-inch balls, then shape into eggs by gently flattening each. Place on a wax paper or silicone lined pan, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
Melt the candy melts according to the directions. Keep the truffles in the refrigerator, removing 3 or 4 at a time, and dip each into the candy melts with a fork. Gently tap off the excess and place on wax paper, parchment, or silicone mat to let set. Decorate with colored candy melts or sprinkles.
