We all have that one thing we can’t resist – for me, and it’s Peanut Butter Cups – preferably frozen! However, I married a chocolate chip cookie junkie.

I truly believe Brian would eat chocolate chip cookie dough in just about every imaginable form! He even eats it with raw eggs (blech – I give him “the speech” every time I see him do it).

Luckily, these Cookie Dough Truffles have NO RAW EGGS, and the flour is baked to prevent any food-poisoning! Now, he doesn’t have to listen to my soapbox raw-cookie-dough-eating rant … and neither do you!

These are perfect for the holidays! I love giving them as gifts, and I almost always have a tray of these for any party we host or are invited to!

Let’s see how to make them …

    I made cookie dough cupcakes for my daughter's 2nd birthday party in April but these seem like they'd be easier to make.

    I definitely have to try it out.

    Yum! I'm a chocolate chip cookie junkie–but not the raw dough. I get weirded out by the eggs. Thank you for linking these fun treats with See Ya In the Gumbo.
