Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

By mamacasma

Ingredients

• If you’re going to bake these, add 1 tsp. baking soda to the flour.
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• pinch salt
• 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, beat the butter, peanut butter, sugars and vanilla for a minute or two, until fluffy; add the flour and salt and beat until almost combined; add half the chocolate chips and beat on low speed or stir just until blended.

Shape the dough into large marble-sized balls and place them on an ungreased baking sheet, then refrigerate or freeze until firm.

Melt the rest of the chocolate chips in a bowl in the microwave, or a small pot over low heat on the stovetop (careful it doesn’t burn!) – dip the balls of dough, using a fork if you want to coat them completely. Set them on a sheet of parchment or foil and let sit (or refrigerate) until firm.
