Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 10 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 pound confectioners’ chocolate

Directions

Mix cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth; add flour and mix until incorporated. Sprinkle salt over dough and fold in chocolate chips. Form dough into 1- to 2-inch balls and arrange on a baking sheet. Freeze until set, about 30 minutes.

Melt confectioners' chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Dip cookie balls into chocolate and place on a sheet of aluminum foil or waxed paper until hardened, at least 20 minutes.
