Cookie Dough Truffles

I wanted to post one last recipe before Christmas that would be good for any holiday party. When it comes to dessert, I think its really nice to put out small bites for guests sometime after dinner and before the main dessert is served. These cookie dough truffles are a perfect little bite. They also make great gifts. I prefer them right out of the refrigerator but they are meant to be served room temp.

I will return with more recipes after the new year. Layla has just started eating rice cereal this week with applesauce and bananas. She loves it! I will post pictures and I will start the baby part of Sous Chef Baby when I return. I hope you all have a great holiday season!  Enjoy :)
