Lately I’ve been in a cooking mood. I love to cook, like many though, I just don’t have the time. Last week on one of the cooking blogs I read it explained how to make cookie dough truffles. Now while reading cooking blogs there are two things I look for. 1) If the dish contains meat and 2) photos! If it doesn’t look good I don’t tend to want to make it. This recipe for cookie dough truffles looked EXTREMELY easy and fast so I thought, “Why not!”
You should probably know another little side note about me and cooking blogs. I don’t like to read them. Like I said before I love looking at the photos and if a photo is appealing to me THAN I may read through the intro paragraph, maybe the ingredients, and quickly glance through how to make the dish. But I rarely read the entry word-for-word.
When I found these cookie dough truffles I looked at the photo and thought, “So simple! Just take cookie dough, roll it into small balls, dip them in melted chocolate, and drizzle white chocolate on top.” So this is what I came up with.
My first hand at making truffles! 
Unfortunetly by not reading the blog entry I didn’t realize the site where I got it from made their OWN homemade cookie dough… WITH NO EGGS! Instead, I went out and bought the pre-cut cookie dough from the store. Oops! When I brought heaps of them home to my family last weekend they all tried some and liked them until my sister asked if the cookie dough was raw.
“huh?” was my reply.
“is the cookie dough raw?” she repeated. I honestly thought that as long as the cookie dough was already in a package it was alright to eat. I thought that it’s only considered raw when you’re mixing your own dough with eggs in it. I was informed that I was wrong. :/
I still have heaps of (raw) cookie dough truffles that I’ve been munching on and I’m not ill yet so as long as I don’t eat a crazy amount in one day I think I’ll be alright.
