Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

I know that we have left the season of "no bake" treats, but I just had to slide this one on here before it was too late.

I know personally... I LOVE cookie dough. Some people find this worrisome because of the whole food borne illness thing from raw eggs. A valid concern. Which! Can always be addressed with pasteurized eggs. I, myself, find it concerning so I never have raw cookie dough outside of the oh-so-amazing chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.

However, I have found a solution to the raw cookie dough/food borne illness dilemma!!

THESE chocolate chip cookie dough truffles.

Taste like real cookie dough made with eggs... but wait- they contain no eggs. So how then? How!?

Good question. Sweetened condensed milk. SO clever! And SO very very good at replicating the texture of chocolate chip cookie dough. It's not exact. But it is realllly close. And once dipped in chocolate, it is difficult to notice the difference.

So, because I am good to you, I give you chocolate chip cookie dough truffles!!

Genius...
