Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

I have yet to find someone who doesn't like cookie dough. Correct me if I am wrong, but the most exciting part I remember about baking cookies is licking the leftover dough off the spatula. Actually, I also remember making whole recipes solely for the purpose of having frozen cookie dough available any time. The only problem with that, however, was that my mom didn't like the idea of my sister and me eating raw eggs (and now that I think about it, it is quite disgusting).

I never got salmonella, but that is still no reason to eat raw eggs regularly, which is why, when I found this eggless cookie dough recipe, I was very excited. Actually, I was psyched, but I repressed the recipe because of lent.

Yesterday was the perfect night to make them. It was a double birthday night, so what better than a batch of cookie dough truffles to remind us of the joys of childhood (yes, I am still hung up on the fact that I am an adult now). Anyways, the recipe is easy to make, but the hard part is dipping the truffles in the chocolate. It is a messy process, so be prepared to get chocolate all over the place. Make sure you have space in your freezer to stick the truffles in for cooling; and be prepared to enjoy a delicious bite-size dessert.
