Make these delicious cookie dough truffles using only 3 ingredients. They are ready in about 1 hour 30 minutes, start to finish. Pillsbury's dough is safe to eat even if it's not baked, so no worries.
16.5 oz. roll refrigerated Pillsbury™ Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
1 3/4 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
5 t. shortening
Line cookie sheets with waxed paper.
Shape dough into 24 (1 1/4") balls; place on cookie sheets. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until firm.
In a medium microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and shortening together uncovered on High for 60 seconds; stir; microwave in 10 second intervals until mixture is melted and smooth.
Using 2 forks, dip and roll the balls, one at a time, into the melted the chocolate; tap off excess chocolate.* Transfer to the prepared cookie sheets.
If chocolate has cooled too much, reheat it.
Spoon any remaining melted chocolate into a small, resealable food-storage plastic bag; partially seal the bag. Cut off a tiny corner of the bag; squeeze bag to pipe over the tops of the truffles. Discard any remaining chocolate.
Refrigerate truffles for about 30 minutes or until chocolate is set.
24 servings.
Store truffles tightly covered in the refrigerator up to 1 day or in the freezer up to 2 weeks. Thaw frozen truffles in refrigerator, and serve same day.
*Plastic forks are the key to easy dipping. Remove the center two tines of two forks, and you’ll have wide-pronged tools perfect for gently dipping cookie truffles.
Tips:
For a quick and casual look, dip a fork into the melted chocolate, then quickly move your wrist back and forth, creating a zigzag pattern.
