This recipe will garner tons of compliments, and will have everyone begging you for the recipe, it's just so good!

Heidi's Amazing Cookie Dough Truffles

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 cup miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips(must be mini chips!)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

1 1/2 lbs. semi-sweet chocolate candy coating, chopped

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add flour, milk and vanilla. Mix well. Stir in the nuts and chocolate chips. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Loosely cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until firm. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt candy coating, stirring often until smooth. Dip balls of dough in chocolate coating and place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. If desired, after truffles have chilled second time, re-melt remaining candy coating and drizzle over candies. Store in fridge.

Makes about 5 1/2 dozen truffles.
