This is for my cookie-dough enthusiast roomies back in DC. They could sit with a bucket of Pillsbury cookie-dough and eat it by the spoonful while watching TV. I had these little diddies at a Christmas party a few years ago and have been continually planning on making them ever since. Well my procrastination has come to an end! I came up with this recipe and it's exactly what it looks like, cookie-dough wrapped up in a little chocolate package.

PS- what makes this dough extra great is that there is no egg in it (since we're not baking it) so no chance of salmonella, always a good thing!

Ingredients:
Cookie-dough:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
3-4 Tbs water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cups flour
1 tea vanilla
dash of salt
1 cup mini chocolate chips (my fab mom brought me some from the US)

Chocolate coating:
1 12oz bag of chocolate chips or 12oz of bar chocolate (we used milk chocolate since it's Cheap's fave)

Directions:
Cream together melted butter, sugars, and water.

Add the rest of the ingredients. The end result should be a greasy-type "dough" that you should be unsticky enough that you can kneed it by hand.

Roll the dough into inch-sized balls, place on wax-papered pan. Chill for about an hour.

After an hour melt chocolate (for coating) in microwave or over a double boiler.

Dip chilled balls into chocolate and place back on wax paper.

We had a little chocolate left over so we drizzled it over the chocolate-covered truffles to be artsy-fartsy in our own little way.

Cheap wanted me to add that we made these the day after Sweet Pea's "Ma" & "Papa" left. So sorry guys!
