Merry Christmas to you all! ?I hope you are stuffing your faces with delicious food and drink! ?I know I am! ?Speaking of stuffing my face?when I arrived to some chocolate chip cookie dough truffles that Dave?s brother Matt made-I was ecstatic! ?You just found out that one of my weaknesses is cookie dough when I made the?Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cake?so these truffles were just what I needed!? These are pretty much melt in your mouth!

Matt got this recipe from the Better Homes 100 Best Cookies issue and I can?t wait to see what he tries next. ?He had mentioned the Chocolate-Macadamia cookies which sound tasty!

But for now, I?ll be making these delicious truffles!
