Ingredients

  • 4 ounce cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour **see note
  • 1 cup Andes candies morsels or chopped
  • 12 oz chocolate candy bark melted
  • 12 whole Andes candies cut into 4 triangles for garnish (cut each mint in half, the each half into two triangles)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In mixer, beat cream cheese with butter. Add in sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth. Beat in flour and salt. Fold in Andes candy.
  2. Using a small scoop, drop onto a parchment lined baking sheet into small bites. Freeze one hour. Remove from freezer and shape each ball into a nice smooth ball. Using a toothpick, dip each truffle into melted chocolate candy bark, tap side to shake off excess. Top immediately with a small piece of Andes candy.
  3. Allow to set, about 30 minutes and enjoy.

Notes

  • Be sure to heat treat the flour before using.
  • Mixer: Use an electric beater or stand mixer to beat the cookie dough ingredients together, if possible. This gets the cookie dough well mixed without being dense. The dough almost melts in your mouth when you bite into these!
  • Scooping cookie dough: I use this pro cookie dough scoop for even and perfectly round truffles. An ice cream scoop works well, too.
  • Don’t rush the freezing: When you’re impatient to enjoy some truffle goodness, I know it can be tempting to cut the freezing time short. Leave the cookie dough balls in the freezer for at least an hour. If you don’t get them hard enough they will soften too much when dipped in the melted chocolate and not hold their shape as well.
