Chocolate Truffle Cookies are a rich and fudge-y cookie that taste just like a truffle, but in cookie form!
Guys, these cookies! I do not even know where to begin. These are one of those recipes that is the perfect fix for when you are needing something ultra chocolate-y. I found these beauties on Mel’s Kitchen Cafe. At first, I don’t know why, but I just didn’t know what to think of them. They looked super tasty, which is why I tried them, but I just didn’t know how it was possible that a cookie could taste like a truffle. Mel’s recipe proved my doubts entirely wrong.
This is one of those recipes that I tried and realized how much I would be missing out on if I had never tried something new. Do you have any recipes like that? The kind that you don’t know where you would be without? These cookies are one of those recipes for me. Chocolate Truffle Cookies have earned an official spot on my Christmas cookie plate for the years to come. If you like chocolate, these are definitely for you. My sister and I were talking the other day and I mentioned this rad cookie recipe I found. She asked me if they were really chocolate-y, because if they were she needed them to curb her chocolate craving and would be making them STAT.
Another great thing about Chocolate Truffle Cookies is they really do taste like a truffle. Of course they are a little different, because they are cookies, but they still have that truffle texture.
Christmas is right around the corner, just a week away! I can hardly believe it. As I look back on our year at this season, I am feeling extremely blessed. This season and the opportunity it gives us to focus on the things that matter most is so refreshing and renewing for me.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
- 1 1/4 cups butter, soft
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- extra powdered sugar, for coating cookies
- Preheat oven at 325 degrees F. Turn mixer or beaters on slowly so you do not create a powdered sugar mess and cream butter and sugar for 1-2 minutes. Add sour cream and vanilla. Mix well. In a separate bowl, combine cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Slowly mix until combined. Mix in chocolate chips. Roll dough into 1- 1 1/2 inch balls and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake cookies 9-10 minutes. Do not over bake. They shouldn't spread much.
- Remove from the oven and let cookies cool five minutes on the pan and then place on a wire wrack to finish cooling. Once cooled, dip the tops in powdered sugar. We enjoy these room temperature or chilled. Store in an airtight container.
- Yields: About 2 dozen
