How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Truffles
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare one package (16 ounces) of your favorite chocolate chip cookie dough according to package directions.
- Bake cookies for 14-18 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
- Crumble the cooled cookies into a food processor.
- Process until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add 4 ounces of softened cream cheese.
- Process until the mixture is combined and begins to hold its shape. The mixture will be dark in color.
- Roll or scoop the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of vegetable shortening in a microwave-safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each truffle ball completely into the melted chocolate using a fork.
- Gently tap off excess chocolate against the side of the bowl.
- Return the truffles to the baking sheet.
- Dust generously with cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For a less ground truffle, reduce processing time in step 6.
