I made this recipe for the first time 9 years ago. Since then it is a yearly staple at Christmas time. My children always remind me that we can not forget the cookie dough truffles. They are great and easy for little hands to help.

This looked so good I made a double batch for gifts, what a mistake. They had a flour taste, not a good "cookie dough" flavor.

The first time I made this recipe, we fell in love with it. It is not difficult to make, just time consuming. Over the years, I have used this recipe and varied ingredients. It is easy to change up. Oreo truffles, banana split truffles, peppermint, and the list goes on. Thank you to the creator!!!

All-purpose flour is: "A combination of hard and soft wheat is milled to produce all-purpose flour. The resulting medium protein content (between 9% and 12%) offers just the right balance of strength and tenderness for the everyday baker to make chewy breads, delicate tarts and everything in between."

Replacements or substitutes for all purpose flour are:

1 cup + 2 tbsp sifted cake flour = 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour;

1 cup minus 2 tbsp unsifted flour = 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour;

1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs = 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour;

3/4 cup whole wheat flour or bran flour + 1/2 cup all purpose flour;

1 cup rye or rice flour; 1/4 cup soybean flour + 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

We love these! I make them frequently.

These turned out great! I rolled half of the balls in cocoa powder, and drizzled the other half with melted chocolate (like in the main picture) and my coworkers & husband loved them.

**I did make a few changes, though:

- I added a little bit more flour to thicken it up; about 1/4 cup.

- I did not use walnuts.

- For the chocolate coating: I used 16oz unsweetened bakers chocolate, mixed with 1 1/3 C sugar, to dip/coat the dough balls. In seeing other reviews that noted the finished product was too sweet, I did this to make the coating less sweet (simply add more sugar or use a straight forward sweetened chocolate if you like the sweeter coating.)

- I made the balls smaller; about 1/2" compared to 1" as the recipe says. I think 1" would be too much and too rich.

I think the combination of making them smaller with a less-sweet coating worked very well. I will definitely use this recipe (with the few minor changes) again!

Very delicious! I used nonfat condensed milk and I had to add just a little more than 1/4 cup of additional flour to thicken the dough to roll. Once they were refrigerated they were very easy to coat in the chocolate.

The taste was great but the texture was impossible to work with when making balls and dipping in chocolate even after freezing for a day!

Reviewed on Apr. 22, 2012 by FoodDane15

Great Recipe just what we were looking for! I used about half as much vanilla as called for which made it less sweeter and able to eat more =) Also I recommend cleaning off your hands every few truffles it makes it much easier to make forum the shape because the dough has nothing to stick to! Hope this helps!

Loved the taste of these truffles, however, very sticky and messy to make into balls. I used a lot of flour just to form the balls.

Reviewed on Mar. 18, 2012 by fnstlug

Make them smaller than you think. They are super rich, but delicious in small portions, plus no eggs!

Reviewed on Feb. 28, 2012 by FarmYF

Tasted okay, but the consistency of the "dough" was more like a batter. Even after freezing, it was impossible to keep in the shape of a ball for dipping. As soon as it began to warm to room temperature, the balls flattend out into cookies. It just wasn't worth the time I had to spend trying to make them.

The kids and I made these candies and they LOVED them. I'm not the biggest fan of cookie dough, but these were yummy. I would suggest making them small and allowing time for chilling in the fridge or freezer. If you want to see my photos, I posted them on my blog....

Raw flour, NO. I did the original recipe and had a terrible time forming the truffles(as did Paula Deen if you watch that episode carefully). The dough had to be frozen in order to make the balls. So I did it again but substituted coarsely ground 'krispy rice cereal' for the flour. I also added some oatmeal. That did the trick; I could shape the balls easily and dipping was a breeze.

Excellent! When I make these, I replace the chocolate bark with 2 12-ounce bags of semi-sweet chocolate melted with about 1/2 block of parafin wax (that's been shaved with a knife for quicker melting).

Loved these! I would make them a little smaller and use milk chocolate for the outer shell, but that's just a personal thing.

My hubby actually made these to share with family and friends. They have gone over really well. I agree, they would be better coated with real chocolate, but the almond bark is so easy. I think I will try them next time using the Ghiradelli chocolate as suggested below. My hubby managed to get over 7 dozen truffles from this recipe! All in all, it's a keeper!

Reviewed on Dec. 27, 2011 by lorilynced

I'd rather eat the true cookie dough--raw eggs or not! Been eating it all my life and haven't got sick. This recipe would taste more better I think if you used real chocolate chips rather than the choc flavored almond bark. Personally I think that stuff is tasteless.

These are wonderful! I use ghirardelli chocolate which hardens beautifully without additives. I did add about 1/2 cup more flour and refrigerated for ease of dipping. Definately will make again next Christmas!

These truffles have hit the spot with all our guests this holiday season. I dipped some in white chocolate and they were just as good. They are rich so little balls are best when rolling the truffles. I placed mine in the freezer for 30 minutes and then dipped them. This worked out great!

this was a somewhat easy recipe, the dough mix does come out wet and sticky and hard to work with. so what i did after i mix the choclolate chips and nuts i spooned the dough off on the sheet and stuck it n the freezer for just a couple min. then got it out to roll into 1 inch balls. it was just stiff enough to do, then i put it back n the freezer long enough to chop up the chocolate and melt n the microwave. by the time it was done the dough was stiff enough to work with n the chocloate and since it was well chilled n the freezer the chocolate started to set and harden on the dough while i was doing the rest of the dough. by the time i was done the truffles were good and hard enough to eat because the dough was cold. since i did that it only took about an hour total to make. and my kids love them.

They could sit out for a holiday party and be fine, you just don't want to store them on the counter like you would some other cookies or chocolate.

I was in a hurry to mix the dough, and didn't cream the butter & sugar very well. The sugar was a little grainy - I was worried they were a flop. The dough was also soft even after refrigerating for several hours. I stored them in the refrigerator, where my husband discovered them. He loved them! They were even better after being refrigerated for several days. Next year, I plan to make a variety of truffles, and definitely include this recipe among them.

It was impossible to roll this dough - too wet and sticky. Dipping them was a nightmare so I stopped after the first eight. The dough really does taste good. I'm going to make the recipe again, but try spreading the dough in a pan and then pouring melted chocolate on top. I think this will make a better bowl dessert than a truffle.

We LOVE chocolate and cookie dough but.......these turned out very chewy/gummy. The texture did not remind us of cookie dough but the flavor did. I had to refrigerate for some time before I could roll them. They were so sticky.I could never get them into a ball, they went flat. Threw the rest away.

These tasted great, but why didn't the cookie dough part set? I couldn't roll them into a ball like it says. And then when I tried to dip them in the choc. they were free form and wouldn't hold any shape at all. They taste great, but I had to modify what these looked like. They wound up being cookie dough truffle cookies with choc. on top and bottom and they were flat.
