# What You'll Need:
→ Cookie Dough
01 -
1/4 cup butter, softened and ready to use
02 -
6 tbsp packed light brown sugar
03 -
7 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
04 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, pure
05 -
1 cup of your go-to all-purpose flour
06 -
2 tbsp smooth peanut butter
07 -
1 cup tiny chocolate chips
→ Dipping and Decoration
08 -
1.5 oz of white chocolate for topping
09 -
Some red or pink food coloring drops
10 -
10 oz block of semi-sweet chocolate, melted
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Beat the butter and sugar together till it's all creamy and smooth. Add peanut butter and vanilla, giving it another mix till it gets fluffy.
02 -
Mix in the flour and sweetened condensed milk just enough to combine. Toss in those chocolate chips, gently folding them in at the end.
03 -
Cover an 8 x 8 dish with parchment, press the dough in firmly and evenly, then let it set up in your fridge for a while.
04 -
Carefully lift the dough block out using the parchment. Use a heart-shaped cutter to create truffles, lining them up on a separate tray. Freeze them so they stay firm.
05 -
Cover each frozen truffle in melted chocolate, letting any extra drip away gently. Put them on parchment and let them harden in the fridge again.
06 -
Melt the white chocolate, stir in food coloring, pour it into a small piping bag, cut the tip, and drizzle it over your finished truffles.
