Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

recipe from Tasty Kitchen

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

1 cup butter or margarine, room temperature

3/4 cups sugar

3/4 cups packed brown sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

1/3 cups milk or soy milk

1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

14 ounces Chocolate Candy Coating (I used Wilton Candy Melts)

Beat butter and sugars in a large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.  Add milk and vanilla.  Stir in flour, baking soda and salt and mix on low speed until incorporated.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Cover and chill dough for 1 hour.

When dough is firm enough to handle, form dough into 1 inch balls and arrange on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper.  Place sheets in the freezer and let chill for 30 minutes.

Melt chocolate candy coating in microwave according to package directions.  Using a fork or dipping tool, dip cookie balls into the candy coating to cover.  Tap fork on the side of the pan to remove any excess coating and return to the waxed paper-lined baking sheets.  Chill until set.  Store, chilled in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
